Advent I (B • 2023)

Hi Friends—

So the show officially begins! I want to thank you again for an excellent rehearsal on Wednesday—we managed to work our way through a lot of music. Be prepared to have more rehearsals like it, because we haven’t even started the «Christmas» music yet!

At any rate, here are the practice tracks for this coming weekend. I’m really looking forward to this seasonal change. It is good for us.

Entrance Antiphon Hymn Tune

Has all mass parts, but is organ only.

Kyrie only, live sung. NB: this is from the old rite where each part is repeated three times, rather than twice, as we are used to.

Lastly, don’t forget about the Advent Lookahead list, if you want to continue working on some of the motets we will be singing in the next few weeks.

See you Sunday morning!
