From CHRISTUS VINCIT PODCASTING, Podcast #5 (just uploaded today):
Dedicated to organs (in a liturgical setting) this time, instead of hymns:
The Good: any well-maintained, well-played, pipe organ
The Bad: any old electronic toaster organ (Hammond comes to mind)
The Ugly: a Hammond so fried you can cook a full-course breakfast on it for you and your choir
Happy Epiphany!

Penitential Rite: parrot Father
Gloria: Peloquin - Mass of the Bells
Psalm: Proulx/Gelineau - Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

ABOUT THE MUSIC:
Psalm 65:4 (May all the earth give you worship and praise...) , the Introit for the day could serve as a paraphrase to the beginning of Psalm 100, thus the Introit hymn selected (All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice...).
Psalm 22:5 (The Lord has prepared a feast for me...) is the first of two options for the Communion antiphon in the Roman Missal. Thus, My Shepherd is the Lord.

MUSIC for EPIPHANY at OUR LADY OF FATIMA CHURCH
Epiphany Sunday, Fatima Church, Lafayette
Prelude: "Lovely", Vaughan-Williams
Introit Hymn: The First Nowell
Kyrie: de Angelis
Gloria: de Angelis
Credo: III
Off: Tollite Hostias, Saint-Saens
Songs of Thankfulness and Praise (Salzburg)
Sanctus: de Angelis
Mysterium: Danish
Amen: de Angelis
Pater: Mode 4
Agnus: de Angelis
Com: Bell choir: Carol of the Bells, Adeste Fideles
We Three Kings (Kings of Orient)
A Solis ortus cardine, Scheidt, versus 1
Final: Hark, the Herald (with improvised postlude)
The choir received raving reviews this Sunday from a obviously disturbed man who wandered into the church during the Holy Gospel. He was snatching at invisible butterflies throughout the Saint-Saens, after which he loudly proclaimed "THAT WAS AWESOME". Before Mass, he had been spotted by one of my sopranos whom he asked how he might be directed to the bishop immediately, as he had just witnessed tears streaming from the eyes of the statue of the Blessed Virgin of Fatima, just outside the side entrance. It was a great and miraculous Epiphany for everyone.

Epiphany at the Cathedral
The Cathedral Parish of St. Patrick
Harrisburg, PA
Prelude: Prelude sur l'Introit de l'Epiphanie -- Maurice Durufle
Entrance: The First Nowell / THE FIRST NOWELL
Gloria: Gloria for Christmastime -- Proulx
Psalm 72: Michel Guimont
Alleluia: Schiavone in D
Offertory Hymn (5:30, 7:30, 12:15): As with Gladness Men of Old / DIX
Offertory Anthem (9:30): There Shall a Star from Jacob Come Forth -- Felix Mendelssohn
Ordinary: Community Mass
Agnus Dei: Proulx in F
Communion: We Three Kings / KINGS OF ORIENT
Recessional: Songs of Thankfulness and Praise / SALZBURG
Postlude: Three Variations on "Noel Nouvelet" -- Robert Lau
Maurice Durufle was a member of the modern French School of organ composition. A student of Charles Tournemire, Durufle served as the director of the Gregorian Institute at the Paris Conservatoire. All of his works are based on chants from the liturgy. Today’s prelude, translated “Prelude on the Introit for Epiphany”, was written in 1960, and uses the Gregorian melody for the Proper Antiphon (Introit) for this day. You will hear the chant melody played in the lower register of a trumpet.
The choral anthem today, There Shall a Star from Jacob Come Forth, is taken from Mendelssohn’s oratorio CHRISTUS, and is a musical setting of prophecies of Christ. Toward the end of the work, the famous German Epiphany hymn “How Brightly Shines the Morning Star” is quoted.
The organ postlude is a set of variations on the French tune “Noel Nouvelet”, arranged by local composer Robert C. Lau. Dr. Lau is the organist/choirmaster at Zion Lutheran Church in Penbrook, and holds degrees from Lebanon Valley College, the Eastman School of Music, and the Catholic University of America. Dr. Lau is a former chairman of the music department at Lebanon Valley College, and is an adjunct professor at Penn State-Harrisburg.

(this is something I provide at the end of each week's bulletin, and I have received so
many positive comments on what I thought was just a little thing)

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER - I'VE BEEN "MEMED"
I've been "memed" by the Ward Wide Web! I'm being asked my "five weird habits". I hope I got this right. I've never been memed before.
1. I've been known to eat all portions of a multi-course meal separately.
2. I never consume an alcoholic beverage, though anyone who knows me will tell you how I love to drink Coca-cola by the two liter bottle.
3. Though all my church music has to be reverent in style, my main musical taste at home and on the road is classic rock and power pop from the '60's and '70's (I was laughed at for being a Raspberries fan - and I stand my ground even today)
4. If I'm direly sick on a weekend, I blow off the ER (they're terrible here) and wait till Monday when my regular doctor is in.
5. I do much of my podcasting in my living room, using (of all things) "Sound Recorder", thus having to hit the "record" button every 60 seconds or so.
I pass this meme on to Sacred Miscellany, The Recovering Choir Director, The Weight of Glory, The Dusty Choir Loft, and Plato's Stepchild.
Peace,

MUSIC for the EPIPHANY at HOLY GHOST CHURCH
A bit under the weather still as I write this post. My sinus infection got me really good this morning, this missing all three of my morning Masses (I did do the Saturday Mass). Rarely am I sick, and I hate calling out, but it got me to the point where I couldn't even drive. The entire right side of my head felt like it was going to explode. I do not take missing Mass lightly (I'm sure I can say that about most ANY church musician).
Anyhoo:
