We have not sung he became poor for a while - we chant verses using Philippians 2 (His stat was divine) between each repetition. I tried to work out how we might sing Ein feste Burg this morning - I have a preference for the original rhythms which make it trickier but also more lively - watch this space.

At the Icon of BVM	Ave Maris Stella

One of my (post-Conciliar) childhood memories is that the Old Hundredth and Nun Danket seem to be the default hymns for beginning and ending Mass - sung from the Parish Hymnbook.

We had a 50 year reunion group in this morning (so a little older than my childhood memories) and their organiser always requests Ave Maris Stella for the end of Mass and we always suggest that it sung around the icon of Mary given to the University by Benedict XVI as way of having a focus for the hymn and connecting old and new.
