I'm on my musical vacation at least through the end of this month, so the pastor's been "calling the tunes" for Mass. Here's what we had yesterday:
Entrance: "Baptized in Water"
(no Offertory or Communion music)
Postcommunion: Two short pieces here. First, the chorus of "O Sacrament Most Holy," repeated three times to the tune NON DIGNUS:
O Sacrament most holy,
O Sacrament divine,
All praise and all thanksgiving
Be every moment Thine.
This was followed by a Byzantine Communion chant (being biritual, our pastor has some affinity with Eastern Rites and holds them up as a model for congregational singing), again, repeated three times:
Receive the Body of Christ,
Taste the goodness of immortality,
Alleluia, alleluia.
Recessional: "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name"
