    Way too late for other cathedral music programs to consider for this year, but perhaps in the future.

    • Reference: Roman Missal Third Edition, Chrism Mass, Introit, p. 132
    • Source Text:
      • Antiphon: Revelation 1: 6 (ICEL)
      • Verses: Psalm 98(99) (Revised Grail Psalter, approved for public worship); traditional Glory Be
    • Mode: VIII
    • Voicing: SATB + soprano descant a cappella/unison choir/cantor + keyboard; soprano line may be sung a cappella

    Notes:

    • Arranged for Mr. Eric J. Bermani and the Cathedral of Saint Joseph, Manchester, New Hampshire for the celebration of Chrism Mass, 2012
    • Mode VIII chosen to match the Gregorian modality of Dilexisti iustitiam, the Graduale Romanum introit for this Mass.
    • Antiphon melody in the soprano line is closely based on the pattern developed by Adam Bartlett for Simple English Propers (CMAA, 2011)
