We are singing a psalm by Howard Hughes, a Proulx gospel acclamation, "God So Loved the World" by Stainer, English chant Reproaches, and "Surely, He Hath Borne our Griefs" by Lotti. Throw in a couple of hymns - "O Sacred Head..." etc.

* Lectionary text for the Verse before the Passion is the same. ** Communion for the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart; quotes from the St. John Passion.
Chant- All from the 1961 Liber. Two responsories will be sung psalm-tone. All else full propers.
Reproaches are my favorite, but it's hard not to tear up as they are so moving. The hymn Crux fidelis is a favorite of the choir- so glorious! I'll be singing it for my friend Kathy Pluth, in honor of her contributions to hymnody. :)

Collection for Holy Land: O Sacred Head Surrounded
Ecce Lignum, sung by bishop O Vos Omnes (either palestrina or victoria...) Were you there Reproaches in English with congregational metrical responses God so loved the World: Bob Chilcott
Pater Noster and Quia Tuum in Latin
Something during communion (I was busy at that point)
I watched part of the Good Friday Liturgy at which the pope presided. The intercessory biddings and collects were in Latin. The deacon sang the biddings not to the traditional (simple preface tone) music given in the Missale Romanum but the chant used by the narrator in the sub-semitonal passion chant. Does anyone have a clue why this was done? If the pope had sung the collects that followed to the modern (sub-semitonal) collect tone, the choice of this tone for the biddings might have made sense; but he simply recited the collects.
