Funny you should ask -- but here's the rundown on today's music:
Complete Latin Mass in chant, composed by our choirmaster.
Psalm chanted by cantor (actually Anglican chant) with responses by choir and congregation.
Offertory: "A Babe is Born All of a May", William Mathias.
Communion: "Jesu Redemptor Omnium/Gesu Bambino", Yon - with bass soloist and SATB.
Bach for the prelude, our choirmaster's own composition for the postlude (he's got a doctorate in organ performance from Juilliard).
We typically sing tons of Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony - especially Palestrina, Byrd, Tallis, Hans Hassler, lots of the English masters - and the better modern composers - the aforementioned Matthias, Rutter, Darke, Vaughn Williams . . .
Our choirmaster rocks! His ambition is to make our parish the center for Ancient Music in this diocese. And he's got the full support of the rector and his two vicars . . . who are both young, ultra-orthodox, and EXTREMELY enthusiastic -- especially about all the Latin.
Nice! Next time we're in the Atlanta area, we're visiting!
