Gregorian propers Missa Regina Caeli for 4vv repeated from last week Credo III Quia vidisti, Hassler Confitemini Domino, Palestrina (we did an extra chant verse instead of a polyphonic proper with the chant as well) Regina Caeli That Easter Day with Joy was bright (PUER NOBIS), one of my favorites discovered since being in this parish. It grew on me one year after a month of singing it each Sunday.
However the people didn’t pick up booklets and the singing was a bit weak. They also need to follow the pace we set for the Regina Caeli: without an organ they will try to impose, although they did fine from February to Holy Week (we had an influx from the other TLM which had an English NO today.)
Entrance: The Strife is O'er Gregorian propers (except psalmtoned Greater Alleluia with jubilus) Mass 1 Credo 3 Concordi Laetitia (chant) Adoremus in Aeternum - Allegri Exit: Rejoice O Mary Heavenly Queen
