The main aim this was to change where needed for the new translation but otherwise keep most things the same. I had wondered about doing another Gloria. One of the main reasons for doing this would have been if more members of the music group were with us so that they might learn some new settings. However it made more sense, this year at least, to use the same setting as we will use at the Vigil. As a through setting it is not instant music but one of the reasons we introduced it in January was so that we could use it now.

Manalo's Pange lingua seems to have bedded down and once we got to the crypt was well sung. For singing the crypt is an awkward space - not that resonant and packed with people making it hard for the singers to find a palace where it is possible to make a cohort. (Note to self - try opposite piano by other door next year.) Looking at the wrong piece of paper meant that we ended with Jesus, remember me rather than the planned Stay with me — it did not not work.
