When I Behold the Wondrous Cross - Watts. Bluegrass version.

Hi everyboday. I'm back... ;-)

I was at Holy Family Parish in Parma, Ohio:

Antiphon- Hosanna (Latin chant solo)
Entrance- All Glory, Laud, and Honor
Psalm- Haugen's Version (not bad, except the "O" before "why have you abandoned me"
Gospel Acclamation- Alstott
Offertory- When I Behold the Wondrous Cross (excellent choral version, don't know the composer), O Sacred Head Surrounded at all other masses
Danish Amen Mass
Agnus Dei XVII
Communion- See Us Lord About Your Altar
Postlude (does Palm Sunday fall under the "only to support congregational singing" directive?)

E.F. St Aloysius, N. Caulfield. (Community of Bl J H Newman).

Almost all chant as set down.
"Pueri Hebraeorum" - Victoria (distribution of palms)
Mass 17. Credo IV
Offertory: Improperium - O. Lassus. Then, v. 1 of the Offertory chant (Do = G, motet is in G) from Offertoriale spliced in: siglia placed at "consolantem" in Tenor (Bar 28.25) in Lassus, repeat from siglia after the verse is chanted.) (This filled out the whole of the Offertory time quite well.)
Communion - Christus Factus Est - Anerio.
Recessional hymn (unacc): Ah, Holy Jesus (Herzliebster Jesu)

I am thrilled to report the following:

Entrance Antiphon: Procession II from the Graduale Simplex (Esguerra)
Psalm and Gospel Acclamation: Respond and Acclaim
Offertory: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (congregation)
Antiphon by choir (GS Esguerra)
Communion: Antiphon by choir (GS Esguerra)
O Sacred Head Surrounded (congregation)
Closing: Lift High the Cross (congregation)

This is the first time since I have been at this parish where we have employed all four propers (the Psalm counts as one of the four, correct?) The entrance and offertory antiphons were a new feature. I had suggested the offertory antiphon, but our priest surprised me by asking for the entrance antiphon as well. The only thing I would like to have changed is eliminating the closing hymn to depart in silence but, a step at a time and this Palm Sunday was a huge leap forward so I'm very, very happy with that.

Holy Ghost Church, Knoxville, TN

We were in the midst of torrential rains all day yesterday - today it is snowing and cold. The outdoor procession into the church was cancelled, and we had the blessing of the palms in the back of the church. We sang:

All Glory Laud and Honor - entrance
A Proulx psalm setting
Latin chant Ordinary
The Holy City - pastor's favorite, done every year
Rice communion chant
Crown Him with Many Crowns - communion hymn
Jesus Shall Reign - recessional

We decided to end on a triumphant note, and let the events of Holy Week illustrate the fickleness of human acclaim and adulation.

Children's Choir:

Hosanna to the Son of David (ICEL)
All Glory, Laud and Honor
Psalm 22 - Ostrowski
Gospel Acclamation - Esguerra
O Sacred Head Surrounded
Missal chants (English)
SEP Communion
Now We Remain (Haas)
Were You There
(and then because apparently people cannot be silent at this parish, Jesus Remember Me as they left)

They've come along way, they did a couple of those a cappella too (Hosanna, SEP communion, Were You There, and Jesus Remember Me). I was so proud of those kids on Sunday!

The adults did basically the same thing at the other two Masses, the choir sang Anima Christi (Burgo) as prelude, and Father Forgive Them (Scialla) also at communion.

At communion on Saturday, we did the first movement of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater. On Sunday at communion, the adult choir did Bouman's two part Behold the Lamb of God (found in the Morning Star Choirbooks).

Oh -- and I sang Richard Rice's communio "Pater si non potest". (I love his communios with English verses). I was pleasantly surprised to see that unicorns have made it into the liturgy this weekend!

Passion according to Luke: turbae by Lassus
off.: O Sacred Head
comm: Paul Ford's Father, if this cup followed by Let all mortal flesh (Holst)

The Passion was accompanied by choking incense and a Pascal candle, and followed by a homily making the transition to a baptism. The silent departure was preceded by a round of applause for the catechumens. I expect next year a planning meeting might be called...

Richard,
Any idea of what goes on at your neighbor parish, St. John Baptist, El Cerrito?

St Joseph Church, Lincoln, MA

We sang:
Antiphon: Hosanna to the Son of David

The usual suspects, but one thing I was proud of: we did the "Hosanna to the son of David" chant, acapella, in the Narthex of the church, as the celebrant processed in. Never been done there in 60 years, and they (as in 300 plus people at 3 Masses) did just fine...
