For Vigil this year, we are doing what we did last year:
For Vigil we will use Tony Alonso’s Exsultet and I’m hoping our priest will sing his bit. Last year we had an opera singer booked but she lost her voice and Father chanted the whole thing. Hoping for better luck this year, although he did a fine job. The sheet music for Alonso’s piece is available at GIA.
Here we use three psalms in the readings and we will sing the responses using Amanda McKenna’s settings.
Psalm 32
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord,
The goodness of the Lord.
Psalm 15
Keep me safe O God; you are my hope.
Keep me safe O God; you are my hope.
Exodus 15
Let us sing to the Lord;
He has covered himself in glory.
We use Taylor’s Mass of St Francis as always, except we still use the Celtic Alleluia. We plan to switch to Taylor’s Gospel Acclamation soon.
