MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS

ORDINARY OF THE MASS:
Gloria: said, or Holy Angels Mass (BMP) (omitted on First Friday)
Sanctus through Agnus Dei: A Community Mass (Richard Proulx, 1937-2010)

ALLELUIA: "O Clemens" (BMP, adapted from the ending of the Mode V chant, Salve Regina).

- NOTE: With First Friday (August 5) being the Optional Memorial of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major and the Solemnity of the Assumption coming up, the tune is fitting.

The rest...

August 21 - Sunday XXI of the Year

Entrance hymn: All people that on earth do dwell ("Old Hundredth"/Pew Missal, #80)

- NOTE: For a real treat, listen to The Old Hundredth Psalm Tune, the arrangement by Ralph (or "Raph", pronounced "Rafe") Vaughan Williams for the Coronation of HRM Elizabeth II of England.  Funny note is Vaughan Williams himself once called his arrangement "a mess-up of 'Old Hundredth'".  Many probably sang the hymn "Praise God from whom all blessings flow" (same tune) before hearing "All people that on earth do dwell".  I did.

Psalm 117: R./ Go out to all the world and tell the Good News (BMP) (PDF, starts at bottom of first page)

Mediation hymn: O Food of exiles lowly ("Innsbruck"/Worship hymnal, #729)

- NOTE: The text here is a 20th century translation of the Latin "O Esca Viatorum".  The tune, given in the Worship hymnal as "Innsbruck", is also listed in some hymnals as "First Friday" (the old "People's Mass Book", for one), with the hymn "O Sacred Heart, all-holy" (making the "First Friday" tune moniker all the more appropriate).
