The Paschal Mystery plays out this month. We flip the usual schedule so now the 1st and 3rd Sundays are Sung Masses and the 2nd and 4th are Low Masses, just for this month.
6 April - Passion Sunday.
- Mass XVII, Credo I
- Vexilla Regis
- Ave Regina Caelorum
- O Sacred Head
13 April - Palm Sunday.
- Gloria, Laus, et honor tibi sit
- O Bone Jesu - misattributed to Palestrina, actually by Marco Ingegneri - Mark the Engineer?
- (The Communion Antiphon is so beautiful, and I think we could sing it even though it’s a low Mass) Pater si non potest + Psalm 21
- We were thinking of: Ride on, ride on in majesty but it is not a very sing-a-long piece and more to do with the procession with palms rather than the Passion. So, instead we will do:
- My Song is Love Unknown, John Ireland tune - you’ll recognise it from the little organ thing Matthew was playing for Communion back before Lent.
20 April - Easter Sunday.
- Mass I, Credo I
- O Filii et Filiae
- Regina Caeli
- Alleluia, Sing to Jesus
27 April - Low Sunday.
- Through the Red Sea
- Cantate Domino by Pitoni - maybe a tad ambitious, but it would be fun. Here’s the sheet music
- Regina Caeli - maybe the Aichinger Version
- At the Lamb’s High Feast we Sing
