Sacred Heart in West Warwick, RI got this from me, my brass trio (trumpet, flugelhorn, and French horn), and small choir (SAT, plus yours truly singing bass from the console). They performed the Vigil, plus the 9:00 and 11:15 on Sunday. I played and sang the 7:30 AM by myself.
Vigil: the usual Lumen Christi and Exsultet Psalms corresponding to Readings 1, 2, and 3 from Respond and Acclaim Gloria from Mass of the Shepherds by Pietro Yon Alleluia from Respond and Acclaim Vidi Aquam / Mode VIII The day of Resurrection / "Ellacombe" Sanctus and Agnus from Messa Christo Riscusiti by Luigi Picchi (pronounced PEE-kee) Adoro Te, O Panis Caelice / melody from Louvain O Sacrum Convivium / Remondi Regina Caeli / Mode VI Jesus Christ Is ris'n today / "Easter Hymn"
Sunday: The day of Resurrection / "Ellacombe" Gloria from Mass in Honor of Pope Paul VI by Edward Connor (7:30 0nly) Gloria from Mass of the Shepherds by Pietro Yon (9:00 and 11:15) This is the day (Psalm 118) from Respond and Acclaim Christians, to the Paschal Victim (sequence in English) / chant from Roman Missal Vidi Aquam / Mode VIII That Easter Day with joy was bright / "Puer Nobis" Remainder same as Vigil (well, I did the "Adoro Te O Panis Caelice" at 7:30, didn't have time for the "O Sacrum Convivium")
Brass trio prelude at 9 and 11:15: Thine Be the Glory (melody from Handel's "Judas Maccabeus"). Funny note is that before the 9:00 Mass, immediately after the brass' rendition of "Thine Be the Glory", the carillon chimed in with the same tune IN THE SAME KEY! Seven of us in the loft and NONE of us could keep a straight face. That was just too funny!
