Holy Sepulchre Investiture: Did anyone have this? What was sung?
  • St Michael's Cathedral Basilica, St Michael's Choir School, Senior Select Choir
    Dr. Jerzy Cichocki, Conductor
    Mr. William O'Meara, Organist

    Processional: I Was Glad, Parry
    Gloria: from Missa Aeterna Christi Munera, Palestrina
    Psalm: "Our help is from the Lord who made heaven and earth"
    Gospel Acclamation: "Vulpis", Descant arr Dr. Jerzy Cichocki
    Offertory: Meditabor, Rheinberger
    Eucharistic Acclamations: Mass of the Good Shepherd, Fr. Stephen Sommerville
    Agnus Dei: from Missa Aeterna Christi Munera, Palestrina
    Communion: God is Love, Proulx
    "Wie Lieblich Sind Deine", Brahms Requiem
    Recessional: Te Deum in B flat, Stanford

    We actually didn't get to the Wie Lieblich because the congregation was super tiny, and communion finished right after God is Love. The organ made some huge bangs which sounded like gunshots, so one of the priests stood to the door until it stopped. We almost used the balcony but apparently we don't have occupancy permit there yet, and they can close the whole cathedral if they see anyone other than the organist and his page turner up there.
