Music for Sunday 27 November 2011

Advent seems to come around faster every year.  On Sunday we start the new lectionary cycle for the coming year, turning from Matthew to Mark.


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

Service music will be a bit different to the normal diet for the Advent season. The Kyrie will be troped, using the Kyrie Cum Jubilo as a responsory.  The creed will be sung in a versified form.  The intercessions and Agnus Dei will be sung using a setting from Taize.  The remainder will be sung to Michael Dudman's Parish Eucharist (Together in Song, 756).

Just to add to the feeling of things being completely different, this Sunday will see the Sudanese congregation in the parish joining with the 10.30am regulars.  They will lend their voices at the offertory, and again at the close of the service.

Hymns are as follows:

Introit: Unto you have I lifted up my soul [Proper introit sung to a tone]
Sequence: Mine eyes have seen the glory [315]

Offertory: Lord Jesus, when you came to earth [Paul Wigmore; tune O Waly Waly]

[Offertory hymn at St George's and St Mary's only; music will be provided by the Sudanese congregation at All Saints]
Communion: Not the powerful, not the privileged [288]
