Music for Baptism?
-
Any suggestions for music for the Rite of Baptism (outside Mass)?
-
I suppose it depends on how elaborate the rite will be. For example, if there will be a full choir, for an anthem how about "Like As The Hart" by Howells?
(A bit more info would be helpful to direct suggestions). -
I'm not quite sure yet whether or not I'll have a full choir and organ, or simply a schola of unaccompanied men. I've got a couple of months to work on buttering up my friends.
BTW, David, cool response on Fr. Z's blog today! -
Thanks Olbash, but which one, the bit of vinegar about foot-washing and a massage chair?
