OT 23

Prelude: O Sacrum Convivium (Remondi)
The Divine Praises (Grey) (the choir always sing this on the 2nd Sunday of the month, Holy Name Sunday at our parish)
Inprov on SLANE and ST CATHERINE
Entrance: Faith of Our Fathers
Kyrie: Danish with invocations chanted recto tono
Gloria: Lee
Psalm 90, In every age, O Lord, You have been our refuge, Guimont
Gosp Acc Danish (this just reminded me, was that a dream last night, or did I actually find a different published setting of the Alleluia, entirely different, but compatible melody, to the Danish Amen Mass?)
Offertory: Lift High the Cross (not an obvious choice for this slot in the 4 Hymn Sandwich, not quite as boisterously as we usually sing it, slower and softer, but I wanted, for once, to sing all the verses and the Offertory procession is the only possibility of such a practice... they still sang it as if it were their school fight song)
Sanc., An, and Am. - Danish Amen (I like the SATB I wrote, and the choir seems to as well)
Agnus Dei - Danish
Communion: Take Up Your Cross (O WALY WALY) eked out with # 30 from the Benoit 50 Elevations on Modal Themes
Choral Mass "Like as the Hart" Novello
Closing: Now Thank We All Our God
Postlude: Let Your Light So Shine

Excellent choral turn-out, the entire bass and tenor sections, and 6 each S and A, all the psalmists strong, all the congregational singing good, and I didn't make too many egregious mistakes on the pedals (the manual are another matter...)
