    St David's Parish became part of a 'cluster' last year, but we hadn't felt the bite until last week when we learned there will be no Midnight Mass. Here's what we rehearsed, and will, after singing as planned at my wife's church's early Service, perhaps repeat at a favorite Chinese restaurant instead:

    This day Christ was born Byrd
    Hodie Christus natus est Palestrina
    Ave Maria Bruckner
    Bogorodiste devo Rachmaninoff
    Today the Virgin Tavener
    O magnum mysterium Ann Callaway
    Verbum caro factus est Callaway
    There were shepherds…Glory to God Handel

    I'm sorry to hear that. By nature I'm pretty goal-oriented, but this is a situation where you have to try and take satisfaction in the process and effort, which God, of course, witnessed.

    At St. Ann's, Hamilton.

    Carols: Silent Night, What Child is This, Gaudete, Good Christian Men Rejoice, Angels We Have Heard on High, Lo How a Rose, Once in Royal David's City, Of the Father's Love Begotten.

    Missa O Magnum Mysterium (Victoria)
    Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory, and Communion (with verses) from the GR
    Credo IV (couldn't manage the polyphony)
    Tollite Hostias (Saint-Saens) after the Offertory proper
    O Magnum Mysterium (Victoria) after Communion
    The First Noel for recession
