MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS

Ordinary Form - Sunday XVIII - August 2, 2009
St. John the Baptist Church, Pawtucket, RI


"Hyfrydol" - Alleluia! sing to Jesus
Alstott - The Lord gave them bread / Alleluia (both from Respond and Acclaim)
B. Hurd - Ubi caritas
- (Some of our regular CV readers may be asking "Why Hurd's Ubi and not the Chant Ubi?" Two reasons - 1) the people at St. John's know this piece quite well, and 2) This is by far one of Bob Hurd's best works - the other is "Missa Ubi Caritas", which is adapted from his own Ubi AND the chant Ubi. Seriously, I have to give credit where credit is due. This is nothing like his schlocky "Taste and See" or "Mass of Glory". Even in this recording from OCP, the ORGAN, not the piano or guitar, is used. Will this be the permanant trend in Hurd's future works? I hope so!)
Vermulst - Sanctus and Agnus Dei from People's Mass
Danish - Christ has died and Amen
C. Franck - Panis angelicus
"Nun Danket" - Now thank we all our God

Peace,
BMP
