Music for All Saints Sunday, 6 November 2011

This week the Parish will be keeping the feast of title of one of our centres, All Saints, Preston.

Readings for the Mass can be found here, and the psalm will be sung to this setting.

The service setting will be as follows:

Kyrie Cum Jubilo
Gloria & Sanctus: Christ Church Mass (Together in Song, 757) 
Agnus Dei: Taize

 I've long adored Durufle's Missa Cum Jubilo, so it's nice to be able to introduce a simplified version of the Kyrie from the plainchant setting Durufle used.  Here's how Durufle's version sounds.

During the intercessions there will be an anthem for the commemoration of the faithful departed: Pie Jesu -- Gabriel Faure

Because this is a high day, the choir will be singing the Offertory and Communion chants from the Simple English Propers.  It's been interesting to see how people have picked these up on 5-minute nibbles over the last three weeks.

Hymns are as follows.

Procession: For all the saints [455]

Sequence: Rejoice in God's saints, today and all days [470]

Offertory: [music provided by the Sudanese congregation]

Thanksgiving: Jerusalem the Golden
