Not in my hymn repertoire. "See Us Lord, About Thine Altar" is a fairly standard communion hymn in Australia. I probably wouldn't use it on the day anyway, as I have an opportunity to use so much other good music.

Our tentative program for the External Solemnity on Sunday:

St. John's Cemetery Chapel, Middle Village, Queens

Offertory: Jubilate Deo (Lassus)
Sanctus: Mass VI, Rex Genitor
Agnus Dei: Mass VI, Rex Genitor:

Postlude: Grand Jeu from Pieces d'Orgue du Grand Marchand - or another suitable song if I change my mind before then.

No procession. The masses are scheduled too closely together for that.

Saint Edward, Newark, CA Solemnity of the Most Holy Body & Blood of Christ
10:00 AM Missa Cantata
Complete Gregorian proper. Mass setting: "Missa Lauda Sion" ... Palestrina
Sequence: "Lauda Sion" ... Palestrina
Lessons & Gospel sung, Credo I
Offertory motet: "Sanctificavit Moyses" ... Palestrina
Communion motet: "Caro mea vere est cibus" ... Andrea Gabrieli
Retiring Procession: Salve Regina (simplex)

I swear I didn't steal Dorlaque's program, but we too are doing Palestrina's Missa Lauda Sion (sans Credo) with Gregorian propers at Star of the Sea, SF. This will be the first polyphonic Mass ordinary in... I can't day how long (if ever) at this parish. After that, I plan to do one polyphonic Mass (proper or ordinary) per month in the coming year, at least at the Latin Mass.

Well, the Mexican/English choir has been working on O Salutaris Hostia (LaRue) for almost two months. We began with about 10 SAT. The lack of experience is such that the altos and tenors can only follow with me singing one part or another; an exception are the sopranos which my daughter can lead just fine. So, come Sunday, the communion hymn will be sung with 2 soprano and 4 alto. I won't say it will be good and I won't say it will be a failure. It will be what it is, and its times like this where I count a lot upon God's mercy and understanding for the effort....

Organ Voluntary - on Hyfrydol - - - - Improvisation

Since the people at St Basil's sing with such loving gusto and confidence, I improvise special introductions to all hymns, and am very inventive with my organ accompaniments and registrations.

Phillip Johnson was the architect of St Basil's, which seats about 250 people and has the most enviable acoustics of any sacred space in Houston.

(Since I am absent from Walsingham for the summer I can't say what the music there will be - but, it will be glorious... and mass will culminate with a solemn procession to the outdoor shrine of OLW, and Benediction. [Incidentally, the shrine is a one-half scale replica of the single remaining mediaeval arch at England's Walsingham and incorporates stones and flintstones from there.])

Tournemire, you could have sent them to our Thursday rehearsal, our last before summer schedule ;-)

Same-old-same-old at St. David of Wales, Richmond California, but it's a thrill to have the Messiaen well under our belt:

Pro. "At the Lamb's high feast" (SALZBURG)
Ordinary from Schubert's Deutsche Messe
Seq. "Contemplate the bread of angels" (Ecce panis, no panic in spite of spell-checker)
Off. Portas caeli at cantored Masses; O sacrum convivium (Messiaen) at choir Mass
Com. Qui manducat (cantor); "Humbly we adore" (ADORO TE)
Rec. "Holy God we praise thy name" (GROSSER GOTT)

SarahJ -
How really nice that you played the Messiaen Banquet.
One rarely hears this played liturgically.
Brava!

I'm too lazy to write it out, but here's what you would have heard in Birmingham, AL at the Cathedral of St. Paul. Choir Mass always moves to 8:30 on that day (I like to think we have a "unique" sound that early in the morning...) with procession after. And yes, I know I printed to wrong communion antiphon. Oops.

St Basil's Chapel, UST, Houston -
(10.30am)
Again, very seemple bot nice.

At the Entrance - 'At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing' - - - - Salzburg

Ordinary - The Belmont Mass

I wish I had thought to use that Hymn.

I rather like the Belmont Mass, I have used it on some Ferias, though in Australia, we have a distinct and well-known Chant Tone for the Our Father, which is basically the default used in 90% of parishes (except for the few who still use the Janet Mead setting or the one from "Mass for Moderns")

Did everyone read above what SarahJ's pastor said!!!?
Sarah must sing a Te Deum every day!
What a blessing!

Mr. O'Donnell, as a native West Virginian, it's nice to see the huge improvement the last few years at St. Joe's. I'm hoping to visit at some point this year on a home trip. All best in your work there!
