MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS

The Baptism of Our Lord Jesus Christ / January 13, 2008
Blessed Sacrament Church, Providence, RI

Well the good news at least for now is that I am the steady sub for the two Sunday morning Masses until Donald Dame returns. The pastoral assistant asked me last Monday if I could take those two Masses regularly, and I accepted. Obviously I'm still looking for full time work in the meantime.

Anyhoo, I just got a call from the rectory with the music list for this coming Sunday:

The Church's one foundation..."Aurelia"
Gloria wasn't mentioned, but I believe Fr. Carusi likes it sung. If such is the case, they'll probably go with Creation.
My soul is thirsting...whatever is in the 1975 People's Mass Book
- (my opinion: if you're going to use a seasonal Psalm, Psalm 72 with Lord, every nation on earth would be more appropriate, since the Baptism of the Lord is the end of Christmas season, not the beginning of Ordinary Time, but again, I didn't pick these)
Alleluia...Mode VI (YAY! No Celtic Alleluia)
There is one Lord...Deiss
Mass of Creation (exc. Agnus)...Haugen
Agnus...Olawski
Come to the water...Foley
- (wouldn't have been one of my personal picks, but I've seen and heard a lot worse titles than this)
Sent forth by God's blessing..."Ash Grove"
- (I'll do key of F for 8:30, but expect it in G for 10:30)

Peace,
