Master list of 2022 Triduum Resources
As promised, here are the practice tracks that I currently have available. Some are polished, some are not (and for these latter I do apologize they aren’t quite up to snuff, but they are better than nothing!). Don’t forget that most of the YT vids have timestamps for individual voice parts in the description.
Maundy Thursday
Good Friday
Easter Vigil
same notes, just different verses at the vigil.
This is the REFRAIN that we will be doing after each baptism as well as Easter Morning. You can ignore the verse which is for confirmation.
There ARE timestamps where the organ solos out parts if you need them.
This is one thing I forgot to rehearse with you on Wednesday, however we have sung it previously. Have a listen, and if we can all do it, great, if not, I’ll carry the refrain and have you all chant the verses.
Easter Morning
Here is a nice sung version that is slowed down relative to our tempo. This is a good one to listen to to hear your notes.
Lastly, here’s a recording of our Easter II anthem so you can listen to it occasionally to get it in your ear. I’m very much looking forward to this!
Lent V (C)
Peace be to you—
Thank you for rolling with the punches on Wednesday and plowing through so much music! Now is the time of chastening for all choirs as we stretch ourselves to the absolute limit for love of Our Lord and His most holy Passion.
I know that this Sunday was not wholly fleshed out at the time of rehearsal, so please take a moment to scan this list to familiarize yourself with the rest of our music. Thank you for being so flexible and patient with me!

Lent IV (C)
Hello Friends—
Thank you for an excellent rehearsal Wednesday. I’m proud of how much music you are learning!
Entrance Hymn: Rejoice Jerusalem, rejoice! to the tune of Ellacombe.
Entrance Antiphon: Fr. Weber #454

Lent III (C)
Greetings all‚
This week’s list isn’t going to be pretty, but it will get the job done. Anything underlined is a clickable link.
First here’s our worship aid if you’d like to scan it ahead of time.
Entrance Hymn: My eyes are looking always toward the Lord, to the tune: Llangoffan.
Entrance Antiphon: Fr. Weber 417 (sub-par recording from two years ago… sorry!)
Psalm 103 (same as a few weeks ago but with different text for verses 3&4)
Offertory Hymn: The precepts of the Lord are right, to the tune: Tallis’ Third Mode Melody
Communion Antiphon: Fr. Weber 439 (same condition as the previous one)
Communion Motet: Exaudi Deus by Giovanni Croce
Communion Hymn: My Jesus as Thou will it, to the tune: Passion Chorale.
Recessional Hymn: Maiden Who weepest for Thy Son, to the tune: Erhalt Uns Herr (if you’re able, switch this to playback speed 1.5x; this recording is way too slow! Also, this is a continuation of the text we started two weeks ago.)
See you Sunday morning!
James
Ash Wednesday 2022
Greetings all—
As a reminder, mass will be in English at 5:30pm. I know that this is an awkward time; just get there when you can, and we will do the best we can. I will be in the loft around 5pm to warmup with those who are able to come ahead of time.
I also hope to do some minimal prep for the following Sunday (Lent I) after Mass, in the youth room with those who can stick around a few extra minutes.
Entrance Antiphon: Fr. Weber (transcription into modern notation)
NB: I’m including the old (not so nice) video from two years ago that has the modern-note notation (which we will sing from) as well as a nicer video made today that actually has the square notes and a much better recording).
Psalm: 51 “Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.”
Gospel Acclamation: “Salvation, glory, and power, to the Lord Jesus Christ!” This is new this year, and is based on the offertory chant for Lent II, Meditabor in mandatis tuis, or, “I will meditate on Your commandments…” (which seems a rather fitting genesis, considering this immediately precedes the proclamation of the gospel!).
NB: the decision to stay unison for the first half of the refrain is a deliberate, and in keeping with the restrained sobriety called for in Lenten rubrics. We only burst into harmony at the name of Christ, Who deserves all praise. The verses will be sung unison, and we may likely alternate m/w week to week.
Distribution of Ashes: Fr. Weber Antiphons (transcribed to modern notation)
(I will cantor the second one, so you can ignore it in the video. Also, I apologize for the quality which isn’t so great… this was when I was first getting started…)
Distribution of Ashes Special: Miserere Mei by Lotti if we have critical mass.
Offertory Hymn: Lord Who Throughout These Forty Days
Communion Antiphon: Fr. Weber #357
Communion Hymn: Parce Domine
We will be singing Mass XVIII as I warned you Wednesday, but I have the scores in the worship aid, which you can preview here.
8th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Ordo for the 8th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C (2022) at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Goshen, IN.
(2022)
Ordinary: Olbash
Entrance Antiphon Hymn Tune: NETTLETON
Entrance Antiphon: Fr. Weber 1113
Psalm 92: “Lord, it is good to give thanks to You.”
I apologize all, but I simply ran out of time in regards to making a video and tracks. (And I even worked an extra half day on what should have been my day off.) This basic recording will have to do. It is just a quick once through with the organ so you can hear the harmonies. Melody only on the refrain. You can view the PDF here.
Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia for the Feast of Christ the King
We will do what I think of as our “fun alleluia” one last time before Lent, including the special coda. Kathy will cantor the verse.
Offertory Hymn: O death, where is thy sting? Sung to the tune of : DARWALL.
Our Father (Roman tone transcription)
Communion Antiphon: Fr. Weber #1126
Communion Motet: None
(Considering the number of people missing and the rather rough rehearsal that it turned out to be, we will take it a little easy this Sunday.)Communion Hymn: O God of Love, O King of Peace to the tune of HAMBURG.
Recessional Hymn: Alleluia, Song of Gladness. Sung to the tune ALLELUIA DULCE CARMEN.
There will be a procession of an effigy of the alleluia while we sing this hymn. Hopefully people will remember it from last week and belt it out.
You can view a draft of the worship aid (which includes the hymns not handed out at rehearsal) here.
PS—Ash Wednesday is March 2, and we have the 5:30pm Mass… (sorry…) Usual conditions apply: we’ll do the best we can; get there when you can. I’d like to stick around for a few minutes after mass to go over the psalm for the following Sunday, if you’re able.
PPS—I’ve changed the navigation bar at the top of the website a little bit, so now if you ever visit my website and want to find the choir ordo pages, you can click on the “other resources” tab, and there’s a drop down for this blog feed. Previously these pages were semi-hidden and you needed to already have the link to find them. Now you can navigate here whenever you feel the desire to do so.
PPPS—I will make one of these pages for Ash Wednesday no later than Sunday morning.
Extra credit for those of you who want to put in a little extra practice (especially those of you who couldn’t make it Wednesday): here is the Gospel Acclamation we will use this Lent.
