30th Sunday in OT

• Ordinary: Mass in Honor of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, by Michæl Olbash

• Entrance Antiphon Hymn: Now Let Those Hearts Rejoice Tune: Nun Danket (“Now thank we, all our God.”) If you’d like to hear how Bach intended it to be sung, watch this. He composed cantatas like this every single week for years. It’s mind-boggling. He would write the music on Monday & Tuesday, it would be copied out hastily after that, and then the choir and orchestra would have 2-3 days to rehearse it before Sunday. Can you even imagine? (Seriously; go back and listen to the first movement in that recording.)

• Entrance Antiphon: Fr. Weber 1614
  NB: we will sing verse 1 which is not common for our introits; men will sing the first half up to the asterisk and women will respond with the second half before we repeat the antiphon again.

• Psalm 126 — “The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.”
  I’ve based this arrangement on the melody chanted by the Psalterium Currens schola.

• Alleluia IV

• Offertory Antiphon Hymn: O grant me life in accord with Thy word. Tune: SLANE (“Be Thou my vision”)

• Communion Antiphon: Fr. Weber 1629 — Just like the entrance antiphon, we will split the verses at the asterisk, with men leading the first half and women responding the second half. (with a nice lift in between!) We will also pair verses 1&2, and 3&4 together to economize our time.

Communion Motet: O Salutaris Hostia by Anerio

• Communion Hymn: In Your True Presence Here Tune: TRENTHAM

• Recessional Hymn: Maria! Maria!

See you 10:20 in the Youth Room.

• Entrance Antiphon: Anglican Chant! (Handout)

• Psalm 33 — Again, we will sing to an Anglican Chant formula. Please review before Sunday morning if you are able. Please note—there is one little area in the recording in verse 2 that shifts the syllables differently from the score you received at rehearsal (the score is correct).

• Alleluia IV — Each voice part’s audio track is below, as well as the usual YouTube video with the animate score.

28th Sunday in OT

• Ordinary: Mass in Honor of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, by Michæl Olbash

• Entrance Hymn: If You Should Mark Iniquities. Tune: Third Mode Melody (Handout)

• Entrance Antiphon: Fr. Weber 1570

• Psalm 90 — Remember: we will have everyone sing melody only. I have reprinted this for you so that it is easier to read as well. (NB: if you study the lower half of the thumbnail image below, you’ll see it says, “repliti sumus…” followed by the descending neumes right in the middle below the play button. That is the line of music I referenced to derive the verse melody. It is a Portuguese Cistercian manuscript dating to approximately the year 1200.)

• Alleluia IV — Each voice part’s audio track is below, as well as the usual YouTube video with the animate score.

• Offertory Hymn: Remember me, O Lord. Tune: Trentham

• Communion Antiphon: Fr. Weber 1583

• Communion Hymn: The King of Love My Shepherd Is

• No communion motet today.

• Recessional Hymn: Holy Michæl, Great Archangel. Tune: Lauda Anima

Lastly: So begins the month of October, if you can come a smidge early, we will briefly refresh our memory about the chants IN THE LOFT at 10:15. We have been asked to lead the rosary this Sunday, so we won’t have our usual time.

See you Sunday morning at 10:15 in the loft if you can swing it!
