Last week our deacon had confidently preached that Christmas ends at the Epiphany apart from suggesting afterwards that the liturgical books suggest otherwise I thought I ought to follow my own advice and keep our Christmas settings for this Sunday as well. In the past we have begun our Ordinary Time music this week. I was interested to see if there would be any reaction from the congregation. In the end I don't know as the presider went straight from the end of the Penitential Act to the Collect. I am not sure he ever realised.
The psalm response was another example where the music in the leaflet avoided complexity and did not include the time signatures as the setting oscillates between 7/8 and 4/4.
Using the Benedictus at the end made a connection back to Advent to round the season off.
