The Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary

16 August 2009


Entrance Sing we of the blessed mother (GB Timms)
Penitential Rite Mass for 3 Voices (William Byrd)
Gloria Jeanne Jugan (Christopher Walker)
Psalm 44 On your right stands the queen (mtgf)
Gospel Acclamation (A Gregory Murray)
Preparation of Gifts O Holy Mary (Owen Alstott)
Eucharistic Acclamations No Greater Love (Michael Joncas)
Lamb of God St Gabriels (mtgf)
Communion Neither death nor life (mtgf)
Final Hail Queen of heaven (John Lingard)

Unaccompanied. The melody of the psalm's verses was based on the chant for Ave Maris Stella and the response derived from it too. This may have benefited from being unaccompanied.

The Byrd Kyrie is one way we mark Solemnities. Otherwise the Mass parts have been those we have been using over the summer.

The reference in Sing we of the blessed mother to Christ as the everlasting Bread was an unplanned but serendipitous connection with previous Sundays.
