Christ the King (2024)
Greetings All—
Here’s our ordo and our practice track resources for the Solemnity of Christ the King.
PS—do be sure to thank Carol the next time you grab a bottle of water. She kindly donates those cases of water.
PPS—please consider bringing a tissue box (or two) for the loft this weekend. It’s now “that time of year” and I suspect we will be going through them faster than not. It would be nice if we had a ready-to-hand set of spares for when we run out mid-Mass. (Thanks!)

Alright Gents—
Since we seemed to have a little difficulty pulling this together at rehearsal, I’ve made a “repeat after me” practice track which breaks the chant down into smaller chunks. I sing it once, then gently play the organ to guide you as you repeat it back. Below this video is a normal recording as well.
If we can pull this together Sunday morning, we will sing it as a group, if not, I or another cantor will chant it solo.
