All I remember was that Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence and Draw Near and Take the Body of Your Lord were what they sang during Holy Communion. Crown Him With Many Crowns was what they played during the Recessional.

If it were up to me, I would have sung "Attende Domine" as the Entrance and "Our Father, We have Wandered" for the Offertory. I would have also added "How Firm A Foundaiton" as an extra recessional since the line was never-ending. I also would have added "Draw Us in the Spirit's Tether" for Holy Communion. I would have gone with my first two picks since this was the Vigil Mass to mark Roe V. Wade and, the songs were most penitential. The last one would have been a nod to St. Agnes, since it was her feast day.

They had a nice setting for the Sanctus, Memorial and Great Amen. At least the music was far better than what the poor Holy Father had to endure during his Mass at Nationals Stadium.

Mary Jane, one of my colleagues at the rectory brought in her program today.

Preludes:
Praeludium und Fuga pro prgano pleno (Clavieruebung III) --Bach
Laudibus in Sanctis--Byrd

Procession:
Alleluia, Laudate--Francis Jackson
O God Beyond All Praising
O Praise Ye the Lord--Perry

Kyrie from Missa de Angelis

Offertory:
Be Thou my Vision
Beati quorum via--Stanford

Mass for the City

Agnus Dei--a new composition? Combines a very simple chant, with a change of choir (schola/ congregation) and it seems that the second invocation is polyphonic.

Communion:
Antiphon: Psalm 26:4--(also a new composition?)
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Draw Near
O Sacrum Convivium--Tallis
I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Jesus, Sun of Life, My Splendor--Handel (my colleague says that this was most beautiful)

Recessional:
Crown Him with Many Crowns

Postlude:
Nun Danket--Karg-Elert

By the way, I'm sure Dr. Latona at the Shrine was not responsible for the Stadium Mass, in case there is any confusion about that.

The newly-appointed DM at the Cathedral of St. Matthew in DC, Thomas Stehle, was in charge of the music for the stadium Mass. There was a lot of digital ink spilled about it over at NLM, I seem to recall.

Thanks.
Kathy do you always/usually have access to such music programs?
I wish EWTN et al would make more of these kinds of things availabe, (the lists, I mean.)

Perhaps someone here who attends in person knows.
Although the music program at the basilica seems uniformly excellent, anything that is cantor-led sounds horribly over-miked and dominated by a single voice, (which seems to be over-singing,) at the expense of the assembly.
I notice this everytime anything is broadcast from there, regardless of the cantor.

Is that just a fluke of the broadcast or does it seem so in person?

(Save the Liturgy, save the Wordl)

I live and work in Alexandria, VA, so it's not prohibitively far to the Shrine. I don't often go anymore but usually did in grad school.

I think the music program there is top-notch, with original excellent compositions that are exactly what all the documents ask for: new music in continuity with the best of the Tradition.

Not sure how things sound on EWTN, but in person, the sound is very good and the cantor does not dominate the sound. Of course it's an enormous church! It would take a lot of singing to fill it.

"Although the music program at the basilica seems uniformly excellent, anything that is cantor-led sounds horribly over-miked and dominated by a single voice, (which seems to be over-singing,) at the expense of the assembly."

Having sung with the group off and on for the past 15 years or so, I would guess what you hear is an exageration, caused by the fact that that particular assembly would be nearly impossible to mic successfully.
