The weight of the musical choices felt as though it went towards the second reading - many the gifts. There are hymns about Cana but they focus on marriage rather than sign - and sign seems to be why it's in the Lectionary. The opening hymn was perhaps at a slight tangent - guests invited to a feast - but part of the understanding of the story is eucharistic. Cantate Domino relates to the psalm and the new song of Jesus' first sign.
