TAs discussed yesterday, the published sheet music for Paul Taylor’s “Mass of St Francis” didn’t have a Gospel Acclamation and unsurprisingly didn’t have a Lenten one either.
My last parish used this mass and also Paul Mason’s, “Mass of Glory and Praise”, so I just subbed in Mason’s Lenten Gospel Acclamation instead and have continued to do so at my current parish.
Taylor has now published a Lenten Gospel Acclamation available at Willow.
It isn’t an easy assignment this, as it has to be memorable, considering it is only done a few weeks a year, and it has to be acclamatory yet with Lenten reserve.
He ticks the boxes here:
Nonetheless, I suspect we will stick with what we have been using for now.
