St. Mary's - Vacaville, CA (also our patronal feast)

We were supposed to have our monthly Young Adult Mass (Latin NO) this evening but got cancelled due to pastor's schedule conflict. Here was our planned music for the Vigil Mass:
- Propers from the Graduale Romanum (Vultum tuum), including the Gradual (Benedicta et venerabilis) and Alleluia (Felix es)
- Ordinary: Mass X (Alme Pater), Credo III
- Salve Regina

Mass during the day (8:00 AM)
- Propers from Fr. Weber
- Ordinary: Mass of St. Philip Neri, Jernberg (or Mass X)
- Entrance Hymn: Immaculate Mary
- Responsorial Psalm: Alstott
- Alleluia: Assumpta est (Graduale Romanum)
- Credo III (English, arr by J. Richardson)
- Offertory motet: Ave Maria - Arcadelt
- Communion motet: Sicut lilium inter spinas (composed by our DoM)
- Closing: Hail, holy Queen, enthroned above

Quoth @SponsaChristi:

I miss singing this so much. I wish my Diocese had a choir, not necessarily for liturgical purposes, but simply for Catholics of sufficient musical competence to learn and perform sacred music that for the most part wouldn’t be heard. We have so much great music that doesn’t get heard unless a secular choir performs it, and there’s always something lacking, or someone using it as an opportunity to bash the Catholic Church.

So, so much this. Not to mention that we are supposed to be singing this stuff in the liturgy, and such a choir can serve as an incubator for new singers.

Anyway, I'm blessed to be able to sing three Masses for this great feast! Gaudeamus omnes in Domino!

I’d like do do the Gaudeamus Mass but given my mixed feelings about today’s liturgy, I can’t do it today.

I forgot to note that we went with the Healey Willan harmonization for SALVE REGINA CAELITUM, which was nice. Different, but nice.

I asked the organist, who hasn’t played in months for us (since January!), to do a prelude and postlude if possible.

So we got the Prelude on “Immaculate Mary” (from Morningstar’s collection of Marian pieces); after Mass, she played Toccata in F major, BuxWV 157, which was fun. But I didn’t catch the modern pieces at communion.
