Music for Sunday 29 January 2012

This week the parish is anticipating Candlemass, the feast of the presentation of Christ in the temple.  Readings can be found here, and (just for kicks!) the psalm will be sung to an Anglican chant based on Ein' Feste Burg.

The service will be prefaced with the blessing of candles and a procession.  The setting will be Philip Matthias' Christ Church Mass (Together in Song, 757).  Hymns as follows:

Procession: Faithful vigil ended [New English Hymnal, 44]
Sequence: Lord God, you now have set your servant free [733]
Offertory: Let all mortal flesh keep silence [497]
Communion: He became poor that we may be rich [721]
