MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS
ORDINARY OF THE MASS:
Holy Angels Mass (BMP) (Gloria, when sung, and Memorial Acclamation)
Heritage Mass (Owen Alstott) (Sanctus, Amen, Agnus Dei)
ALLELUIA: Mode VI
HYMNS, PSALMS, etc.
Entrance: Praise to the Holiest in the height ("Newman") (Listen)
- One of the things I didn't realize until a couple of weeks ago is that five years ago last Sunday Blessed John Henry Newman (the author of the hymn text) became SAINT John Henry Newman. The composer, Richard Runciman Terry (English, as was St. John Henry Newman) named the tune after the Saint.
Psalm 33: R./ Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you. (Richard Proulx and Pérè Joseph Gelineau, SJ)
Offertory: To Christ, the Prince of Peace ("Narenza") (Listen)
Communion: Daily, daily, sing to Mary ("Omni Die") (Listen)
- Verses from the Latin "Omni die dic Mariae", from which "Daily, daily" is translated, may be sung from the choir loft in alternations with the English verses given in the Mass Guide.
Recessional: Lift high the cross ("Crucifer") (Listen)
- This is one of those hymns we really don't need a listen link for, do we? However, I couldn't resist posting one anyways, as the fantastic arrangement linked here is that of Richard Clark, esteemed organist and music director at Holy Cross Cathedral in Boston, performed at said Cathedral at the 2024 archidiocesan Chrism Mass.
