As this Sunday is close to St George's day, there is a joint service at 9.30am to mark the patronal feast at St George's, Reservoir. This means that there will be no morning services in the other centres of the parish.
The hymns for the week give some reference to St George, although the readings of the day will be used, so it's a kind of hybrid selection for the week. The parish hymn book is Together in Song, so the numbers given here refer to that book.
Procession: Lord God of hosts, within whose hand [tune: Melita]
For the Psalm: All people that on earth do dwell [59]
Sequence: Praise to the Lord, the Almighty[111]
Offertory: Halleluja, sing to Jesus [517]
Communion: This joyful Eastertide [381]
The mass setting is the Christ Church Mass by Philip Mathias [TIS, 757].
The choir will also sing the Gregorian communion chant for the week, Ego sum Pastor Bonus, using the edition from the American Gradual. It'll make a nice change from the usual psalm tone that we use for singing the communion sentence.
Incidentally, I'd like to sing a quick phrase in praise of the Church Music Association of America, whose website can be found here. They have been making all sorts of wonderful resources available for a long time; since arriving in my job in the parish I've made good use of their English language chant publications, which are ideal material for a small choir where the skill levels and learning habits are quite disparate. Given that most of the texts for the major propers are the same between the Roman books and the current Australian prayerbook, it all dovetails quite nicely.
Finally, the organ music for the week is as follows.
Prelude:
Variations on a Theme of Robert Schumann -- Edmund T. Chipp (1823-1886)
Postlude:
Toccata [BWV 540] -- J.S. Bach (1685-1750)
If you're in this part of Melbourne, do come along!
