St. David of Wales, Richmond California

A few years ago our Holy Day evenings got moved earlier and warmup space became scarce; this evening the choir rehearsed outdoors in the sunset and did itself credit, the moving of the imposition to the closing hymn slot being yet another surprise. No organ of course.

Off. Exaltabo te in Burgess & Palmer version
Sanctus & Agnus Missa Orbis Factor

Gregorian Propers (Psalm-toned Gradual and Tract)
Mass XVIII (minus the Kyrie; I was trying to get a pitch from my pipe to start it, and Father went on)
Offertory motet: Audi benigne conditor (chant) with amen in fauxbourdon (which sounded a bit vainglorious in context, given that it was the only polyphony in the whole service)
Communion: Qui meditabitor with verses. Still lots of communicants, so I had them read Attende Domine...not sure I would have if I'd remembered those 2 consecutive 4ths, but after the first several refrains, they were fine.
Recessional: 40 Days and 40 Nights (HEINLEIN), played by, gulp, me (organist had to play his other job, so we did without, which was fine.)

Full Gregorian Propers. Mass XVIII.

Offertory Motet: Exaltabo Te Domine (Croce)

Communion Motet: Inter Vestibulum (Perti)

Closing hymn (a cappella): God of Mercy and Compassion

I don't enjoy/appreciate hymns (that is, vernacular non-chant hymns) as much as I could or even should, but I find this hymn, which I first heard via the Gower nuns' Lent/Passiontide CD, to be very beautiful and moving.

Chris: Two Low/Latin Masses is wonderful...but that is too bad that you miss out on one of the best tracts - Domine, non Secundum. In my time at the monastery it was beautiful to chant it 2-3 times a week throughout the whole of Lent, as it is used on all M-W-F except Ember Wednesday, Wednesday of Holy Week, and of course Good Friday.
