Music for Sunday 9 January 2011

The holiday break has been a welcome time of quiet and relaxation.

I've been a bit lost for things to do, not having to be heading out for choir rehearsals and such like every night.  It's nice to be able to sit and process some of the things that have been going on over the last few weeks, and to begin to regroup the energy for what is to come.

Still, things carry on.  Shortly before Christmas, one of my younger choristers was a little shocked to learn that the church doesn't shut down because the choir is on holiday...

Readings are linked here.

The setting will be Philip Mathias's Christ Church Mass (Together in Song, 757).  Hymns are:

Introit: The sinless one to Jordan came [tune: 536]
For the Psalm: The Lord will bless his people with peace [17]
Sequence: Christ, when for us you were baptized [250, tune: 47]
Offertory: O love how deep, how broad, how high [194]
Communion: Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands [496]
