Peter & Paul (C • 2025)

Worship Aid

Quick notes:

James will chant the Offertory Antiphon & Communion Antiphons in Latin
Communion hymn is a new melody in an unusual meter, but it is not hard. There are the same number of pulses in each line, and each cadence begins on the same beat, which is indicated with lyrics that are bold & italic
The entire “ordinary” (mass parts) is in the worship aid
printouts are prepared for you for the Psalm, Alleluia (good for multiple weeks) as well as the Entrance & Offertory hymns.

Corpus Christi (C • 2025)

Greetings All—
Thank you for your flexibility with rehearsal scheduling this week due to the weather. Better safe than sorry!

I’m sending out this ordo early so that people who cannot attend tomorrow’s rehearsal can still spend a little of their choir time looking things over this evening.

In an effort to make things much easier for everyone involved, I’ve gone back to the drawing board and made our worship aid into a full booklet so everything flows properly and we can eschew the need for inserts. Hopefully this helps you all enter into the Mass just as much as the congregation. 🙂

So without further ado:

Processional Hymn: Thee We Adore to WOODLANDS
Entrance Antiphon (see below)
Olbash Kyrie & Gloria
Psalm 110 • You are a priest forever in the line of Melchiezedek.
SEQUENCE (Matt & James)
Festal Alleluia
Offertory Antiphon (see below)
Offertory Hymn: Hail True Victim, to ECCE PANIS (extract from Sequence)
CREDO III
Olbash Sanctus & Agnus Dei
Communion Antiphon: Qui Manducat (James)
Communion Anthem I: Of Thy Mystical Supper
Communion Anthem II: Tantum Ergo by JJR
Communion Hymn: Wondrous Love that Cannot Falter to IRBY
PROCESSION: Holy God We Praise Thy Name
*I will start the first verse on the organ and then you all can start filtering down to meet the clergy and continue the singing as you transition outside; I will join you as quickly as I can to help keep things together.
At the Altar of Repose: Tantum Ergo (likely to this melody)

Processional Hymn Tune:

Entrance Antiphon:

Gloria:

*NB, this is both pitched higher, and a bit slower tempo than we will chant it, but it is still helpful for reinforcing the melody in your ear.

Pentecost 2025

Hi Friends,
Here’s the plan for this weekend. I will have a few scores for you to make it easier for you to sing.

Entrance Hymn: Come, Holy Ghost to the tune of LAMBILOTTE
Psalm 104 • “Lord, send out Your Spirit and renew the face of the earth.”
SEQUENCE: Veni Sancte Spiritus
We will sing the normal chant version, and I will fluff it up a little with organ at the beginning and the end.
Festal Alleluia
Offertory Hymn: Veni Creator Spiritus*
- The Schola will sing the first verse in Latin, and then everyone will join in the translation starting on verse 2. I have new copies of this which will make it easier for you to sing the Latin.
Communion Antiphon: Factus Est / Suddenly there was heard…* (see the very bottom for a recording)
- First Time: JJR sings Latin, then you all repeat refrain in English
- Verse 1: Men
- Verse 2: Women
Communion Anthem: May Thy Holy Spirit (Tchesnokov)
Communion Hymn: O Holy Spirit, Now Descend on Me to the tune EVENTIDE (a.k.a. Abide with Me )
Recessional Hymn: Come Thou Font of Every Blessing to the tune of CWM RHONDA.

SEQUENCE

This occurs just before the Gospel Acclamation. I’ll fluff up the front and back ends with a little organ, otherwise we will just sing the chant with light organ underneath.

Here’s a lovely version that is a bit fluffed up with other stuff, but it is as much fun to look at as to listen to!

Great to get the first verse in Latin as well as the melody itself. Spine-tinglingly beautiful!

Ascension • 2025

Greetings all—
Here are our practice sources for this coming Sunday. Don’t forget about the “lookahead” section at the bottom; we have feast day after feast day (and two ordinations!) coming up.

Entrance Antiphon Hymn: O Ye Men of Galilee to NETTLETON
Introit: Viri Galilæi (Demo)
Psalm: 47 “God mounts His throne to shouts of joy; a blare of trumpets for the Lord.” (SATB Demo) (Descant) (Alto) (Tenor) (Bass)
Gospel Acclamation: Festal Alleluia (a.k.a. Alleluia for the Feast of Christ the King) (Abbreviated Demo) (Soprano) (Alto) (Tenor) (Bass)
- *Double-check to make sure you have the coda prepared!*
Offertory Antiphon (I): “God goes up with shouts of joy…” (Lumen Christi / Source & Summit) (Demo)
Offertory Hymn (II): God Rises up to Heav’n Above to ASCENDIT DEUS (see below)
Communion Antiphon: “Behold, I am with you always…” (Source & Summit) (Demo)
Communion Special: More Love to Thee, O Christ
Communion Hymn: Do Not Stand and Stare in Wonder to THAXTED
Recessional Hymn: See the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph! to NETTLETON

Here is the (only slightly) simplified version of the introit that we sang last year. I have printed this for you.

Time stamps are linked at the top of the page, as well as the video description.

We will use this Alleluia for all the upcoming feast days, so learn it well!

Time stamps are linked at the top of the page, as well as the video description.

Sequence:

Organ plays intro
Cantor sings refrain once
People & Choir respond once (with choir in parts)
Choir sings verse a cappella
People and Choir respond twice, before the Choir continues into the coda.

Also checkout the second video which has slowed down instrumental versions of the coda.

NB: the following recording is organ-only, but in the time stamps you can find “learning speed” (slowed down) solos of each voice part for the coda, which may be helpful to some of you.
