Songs & Updates for Saturday, February 8, 2020

Posted by on

5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Great work last week! We had mostly slower pieces and the balance/harmonies sounded excellent. It was also fun to pull out We Are the Light again after a number of years. Check out the audio HERE.

On Sunday, Father met with representatives of the Music Ministry, Faith Formation and Arts & Environment to plan the Lenten season. Music highlights are below. Please start taking a look and let me know if any questions!
  • Common Gathering: Talbot's Create In Me A Clean Heart (not in the book - materials HERE)
  • Common Communion: GC3 #785 / SS #158 - Now We Remain
  • Psalms: based on each week's Readings (may see Ps 51 used more than once)
  • Mass Setting: Mass of Remembrance
  • Penitential Rite: GC3 #494 - Hold Us In Your Mercy
On a similar note, the rehearsal plan for Lent/Easter can be found HERE. We can tweak as needed. Will also have preludes/special music available on Saturday. I tried to give us a bit more time this go around since we have two liturgies to prepare for. It's probably not necessary for everyone to be at every rehearsal, but it'll depend on who's available for which liturgies, etc..

This week's Closing song, Go Make a Difference, can be a bit tricky to pull together. Please make sure you're familiar with the flow. Also, if anyone would like to sing harmony on the Psalm and Offertory, that would be great!

Finally, would anyone be interested in helping me sort/file away Christmas music? Everything's been pulled from the black binders; I just haven't gotten around to putting it away yet. Shouldn't take long at all with a few people on the job.

Ken is tentatively out this week.
