Out and about on Sunday

This Sunday I will be at St Aloysius, Caulfield, as part of an extended weekend of music-making with choirs.

The parish is keeping the feast of Christ the King, which falls on the last Sunday of October in the old calendar (and was the original date when the feast was promulgated in the 1920s).  The regular parish choir is very involved with events in Ballarat and Bendigo, so the Newman Singers will be popping up at St Aloysius to allow the feast to be kept with suitable solemnity.

Here is the choir music.

Propers for the day.
Mass IV
Sicut Cervus -- G.P. da Palestrina
Bone Pastor -- Thomas Tallis

One of the parishioners is a very good gamba player, so the instrumental music will include this:

Sonata for Viola da Gamba and Continuo in D Major -- Dietrich Buxtehude

...and the organ music will be:

Fantasia -- Abraham van den Kerckhoven
Prelude -- Louis Neidermeyer
