Haugen’s Exsultet is 406 but I won’t make a backing for that since it has gone liturgically stale due to the change in the text and it goes from 3/4 to 2/4 to 5/8 to 4/4 and BIAB is not going to do that much time signature shifting.
…which means with all the songs I’ve already blogged I can skip to 408 in Gather Australia. This is a David Haas song that is a Gospel Acclamation, although I suppose we should be doing the ones prescribed. Perhaps for a gathering where the word is proclaimed outside a mass context it would be suitable.
The text is here and the sheet music is available in this collection at GIA. They also give you a snippet to listen to at this page.
My backing sounds different:
I may be wrong, but I think it would be used at a Sunday Celebration of the Word as the Procession and Enthronement of the Word after the Introductory (Opening) Rite.
I’m sure you are right.
