    I’m borrowing this list for the future. Your oratory and Old St Mary’s in Cincy have inspired us here (well, me anyway). We just did the Byrd Deo gratias a few weeks ago.

    Sam, that Bruhns is wonderful. I wish I could hear you play it, but I'll be down the road.

    St. Mary's Norwalk:

    Propers
    Josquin, Missa Pange Lingua
    Offertory motet: Guerrero, Caro mea
    Communion motet: Josquin (??), Ave verum à 5

    The Byrd propers for this feast are wonderful, but we aren't doing them this year. I always think of them every time this part of the calendar rolls around.

    @Charles_Weaver

    Yes, the Bruhns is a lot of fun to play and not terribly difficult. (We had our Mass on Thursday.)

    We sang the complete Byrd propers for the feast back in 2024. It was a wonderful change to sing polyphonic propers with everything else in chant instead of vice versa as we usually do for big feasts.

    I dream of directing the great Josquin Missa Pange Lingua one day (I've sung it a couple of times). It will take us many weeks of rehearsal but it's well worth it.

    Two people did the Missa brevis of Palestrina. They have good taste.

    We did the Byrd Ego sum panis vivus because I saw it when examining the Parish Book of Motets, but I have my eye on Palestrina too.
