Music for Friday 24 December, part 1

Politics have dictated that there will be two midnight masses in the parish this year.

One could grumble and complain, but these things are sent to make us perfect by our quiet toil.  I'm glad not to be forced to split myself between simultaneous events, like some musical equivalent of Geraldine Grainger in The Christmas Lunch Incident.

So, this entry details the simpler midnight mass at St George's, Reservoir:

Midnight Mass with Carols

11.30pm, Friday 24 December

St Georges, corner Ralph and Byfield Streets, Reservoir

Readings are linked here, and the psalm setting is here.  Hymns are as follows:

Introit: Once in royal David's city
Sequence: Away in a manger
Offertory: O come, all ye faithful
Communion: Silent night

Information about the other midnight mass will be up on Thursday, hopefully with a taster of some of the music.
