Easter Day music?

    Was everyone so worn out and occupied with Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil music lists that they simply forgot that music for Easter Day masses is of interest to share? Okay, most of you probably put the most effort in to the Easter Vigil, but it is not the only celebration of Christ's Resurrection.

    Amen, amen. After Easter Vigil and 4 masses yesterday, I am starting to feel human again.

    I guess that's what I was looking for, but I simply didn't connect "Share your Easter Orders of Worship" with "Easter Music Thread" or "Easter Day music."

    On the other hand, it was a rather difficult Holy Week and Triduum for us, with my wife hospitalized from Monday through Friday, followed by making living adjustments at home after her release. This probably explains as much as anything my inattention to the various threads here, as well as the lack of success in attending to some timely music tasks over the past two weeks or so.

    At the OF:

    The Good--Jesus Christ is Risen Today, At the Lamb's High Feast
    The Bad--Omission of the victimae paschali laudes sequence, I am the Bread of Life, Baptized in Water (which reminds of "On top of spaghetti"), Soper's I Know My Redeemer Lives, and (as an aside) twelve, count 'em twelve, EMHC's.
    The Ugly--the 1970's Joncas organ-grinder-with-monkey setting of "This is the Day."

    The EF:

    The Good: Regina Coeli, O Filii et Filiae.
    The Bad: Miscommunication with the priest meant he solo-chanted the sequence, which technically wasn't bad, just unfortunate.
    The Ugly: N/A.

    After the rigors of Holy Week and Easter, we have jokingly interpreted the old name for the Octave of Easter, "low Sunday," as representing a liturgical hangover.

    This is, of course, not correct, since, at least in the new rite, you may sing the sequence Victimae laudes and the liturgy prescribes "Ite missa est, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia"; the day remains a part of the high festivity of Easter.

    I'm embarrassed to say that I slept in very late this morning, after all the rehearsals, Triduum, Vigil and 3 masses yesterday. And, yes, it is a type of "liturgical hangover"! I am pleased to say, however, that, except for starting Tantum Ergo too soon for the priest on Holy Thursday (the thurifer was giving him problems and I didn't see that), and jumping on an "Amen" before he was done with the prayer yesterday (sorry, by the last mass, I was not as focused as I should have been!), all went very well at my parish.

    Highlights? Easter vigil cantor was amazing! Child soloist at 9:30 mass Easter Sunday was wonderful.

    Prayers with you, Charles.
