Corpus Christi (A • 2026)
Greetings All—
Below is our 2026 Corpus Christi Ordo. NB: we will just wear our nicest, finest Sunday civvies this week.
Also Note: we will furlough at least until July. I will be in touch after I get back from my sacred music conference in late June.
Processional Hymn: Thee We Adore to WOODLANDS
Entrance Antiphon (see below)
Olbash Kyrie & Gloria
Psalm 147 • Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
SEQUENCE (Matt & James)
Festal Alleluia
Offertory Antiphon (see below)
Offertory Hymn: Hail True Victim, to ECCE PANIS (extract from Sequence)
CREDO III
Olbash Sanctus & Agnus Dei
Communion Antiphon: Qui Manducat
Communion Anthem I: Laudate Nomen Domini by Tye
Communion Anthem II: Tantum Ergo by JJR
Communion Hymn: Wondrous Love that Cannot Falter to IRBY
Recessional Hymn: Sing, My Tongue, the Savior’s Glory to CWM RHONDDA
PS—just in case you’d like to watch the two catechetical videos that I’ve produced so far:
1.) Chant the Sequence before the Alleluia:
2.) You *need* to sing the Antiphons:
3.) a 30-second short about the 3 main ingredients of Mass:
Processional Hymn Tune:
Entrance Antiphon:
Gloria:
*NB, this is both pitched higher, and a bit slower tempo than we will chant it, but it is still helpful for reinforcing the melody in your ear.
Psalm:
I’m sorry I do not currently have a normal practice track for this one, but here’s a very basic organ demo.
SEQUENCE:
(Matt R. & James)
