    Offertory motet: Ave Maria - Arcadelt

    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.

    St Mary’s, Linwood, Ontario. (Diocesan.)

    Propers (Signum magnum etc.) for Liber U
    Mass IX
    Credo I (with Et incarnatus by Josquin)
    Offertory motet Tota pulchra es in “Corsican chant”.*
    Recessional: Hail Holy Queen (harm. T. B. Armstrong)

    We had a mixed group of five, SSATB.

    * As transcribed and sung Ensemble Organum. I've no idea how much Corsican it is and how much Pérèsian. We make no attempt to produce their style of singing.
