I'll be singing mass XVIII, the Gregorian propers for the day, the Marian antiphon for the season (my mind fails me at the moment which one that is), attended domine, and probably parce domine.

Or can you have it both ways!

I hesitate to post this because I don't want to this to be either a competition or a display. But, and I reluctantly "but". Here is OLMC in Littleton, CO.

I'm also attaching our "untested" editing of the blessing of the ashes if anyone wishes to use it. It is completely copyright free as all of the churches treasures should be.

I've done some musing on the question of fasting versus receiving communion (which breaks the fast) and have decided that the confusion arose from the Roman Stational Churches Masses that were put into place during Lent. As can be seen from the Communio Psalms which started with Psalm 1 on Ash Wednesday and proceed through Psalms 2, 3, 4 etc day by day through the season (albeit skipping over Thursdays) this was a coherent plan thought out and instituted by a music ministry that was in step with the hierarchy's liturgical needs.
Fasting used to be waiting until evening to eat. This still shows up in the Liturgy of the Presanctified (Communion after Evening Prayer), the time of the Good Friday Liturgy (The time of celebrating the Evening Prayers was advanced to 3pm on fast days), and the fasting disciplines of other Middle Eastern religions. But something made the western church think that Lent should be observed by attending and receiving communion in the morning. Stational liturgies were obviously a way of honouring the different Roman Churches and bringing the pope into pastoral contact with the congregations but they had a decisive effect on how fasting was observed I'm surmising. They might also have created a climate where non-communicating attendance could have seemed logical and devotional.
And one further crazy musing. The Pre-Lenten season of the Roman Church is basically the Eastern Lent which counted 5 fast days a week (did not fast on Saturday or Sunday) and needed 8 weeks of time and which was distinct from the Holy Week fast so needed to start 9 weeks before Easter and 3 weeks before the western fast. The whole thing gets codified and recommended for universal observance after some natural disasters and earthquakes cause people to reexamine their lives and resolve to behave better.
Anybody want to tell me I'm a crazy nut?
Anybody want to speculate why they didn't do the stational liturgy on Thursdays in the beginning days?
And Andrew, what is the Ordinary setting for Lent at your ordinariate mass?

It's neat to see all the Byrd you're doing @SamuelDorlaque. I hadn't realized how similar Emendemus and Miserere were until this year when I programmed them both together. It's actually worked really well for us (a 25+ voice mixed choir, minimal pro help) since we can have a whole Mass where the polyphonic things are the same general style.

How did Jesus talk about himself in John 6?

PaixGioiaAmor +1.

No trouble at all with Berthier's Eat This Bread. Not my favourite, especially the abrupt bass leaps, but fine for congregational singing. And Jesus made it clear this bread was, in fact, the bread he meant is to eat.

Yeah, I think context is most important here. After all, if you throw out anything that has a reference like that, a great many communios would not be allowed. Another reason why it's important to be totally familiar with the antiphons.

Jesus wasn't a Protestant.

Indeed, he wasn't a Protestant. And he wasn't a Catholic, either. He was a Jew, and many of our Catholic rites, liturgies, and practices are inherited or derived from the Jews.

But back to the original topic:

Entrance: Our Father, We Have Wandered (Tune: Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder)
Not singing the Kyrie
Responsorial Psalm and Gospel Acclamation: Respond & Acclaim
Imposition of Ashes: Proper antiphons in English at most Masses (solo)
at Choir Mass: Lord, for Thy Tender Mercy's Sake (Farrant); Seek the Lord (John Carter)
Preparation of Gifts: O Breathe on Me, O Breath of God (Tune: St Columba)
at Choir Mass: Psalm 139 (Allen Pote)
Communion: Proper antiphons in Latin and English (solo)
at Choir Mass: Return to Me -- an arrangement of Shenandoah with words by one of our choir members for SATB, piano and solo instrument
Recessional: Lord, who throughout these Forty Days (Tune: St Flavian)

I'm in a pickle right now because the pastor decided at the last hour that he wants prelude/postlude for tomorrow and I have no idea what I should use. #CatholicworkingforProtestantProblems

Reminder to all of us working in the OF: From the Roman Missal: "The Penitential Act is omitted, and the Distribution of Ashes takes its place" (after the homily).

I'm in a pickle right now because the pastor decided at the last hour that he wants prelude/postlude for tomorrow and I have no idea what I should use.

How about Alain's "Choral Dorien?" It's very simple and hauntingly beautiful. It can be found online for free.

Worship aid attached.

Everything from the Graduale Simplex.

@PGA that is a beautiful piece, I ended up listening to several of his works on YouTube after I looked it up...never heard of him before! Yay for new music! Sadly I am but a pianist and the Choral Dorien will not translate well...I've narrowed it down to two or three pieces and will decide this morning lol
