I’m away at Easter and will probably strum along with the wonderful organist in George Town.
The schedule for the Vigil there is:
Blessing of the Fire – no music
Exultant sung without music (I don’t know what setting)
Gloria (MOSF)
The Lord is My Shepherd AOV 1/26 for Sprinkling
Gifts: Christ be Our Light AOV 2/3
Communion: Alleluia No 1 AOV 1/15
Recessional: Celtic Alleluia AOV 1/13
Here in Queensland I wasn’t around for the planning meeting but I think it’s the same as last year.
Ethan has helpfully put up his parishes’ liturgy from last year’s Vigil:
The Hymns I did at Last Years Easter Vigil were:
Lighting of the Fire:Christ Be our Light Verses 1 and 2
Exultet:Star of Morning Fire Frank Andersen MSC (Chorus sung by the Congregation and Verses Sung by Musicians and Choir)
After Old Testament Readings:Song of the Body of Christ (Chorus)
Gloria (Mass of Renewal)
Gospel Acclamation:Alleluia No 1:AOV 15
Communion:Lord of the Dance AOV18 and Sing a New Song AOV 80
Recessional the Easter Song Lent and Easter Song Book (Number 14)
Feel free to post and compare liturgies – people consult them for years you know!
