Having already blogged:
320 Behold the Wood
… I can continue to another song for Good Friday in Catholic Worship Book II. This is a chant called CRUX FIDELIS, a c6th Latin sequence by Venantius Fortunatus and translated into English in the Roman Missal. the tune is Gregorian chant Mode I.
The text and chant notation is available at ICEL.
I can’t do this on BIAB so once again, from the NPM site, this is what it sounds like.
It sounds great in Latin but participation would decline somewhat:
Entrance: As a Fire is Meant for Burning (Duck) GA 881
Psalm 91 (McKenna)
Lord, it is good to give thanks to you, to give thanks to you.
Gifts: Be Thou My Vision (trans Mary E. Byrne SLANE) AOV 1/9
Communion: Song of the Body of Christ (Haas) AOV 1/27
Thanksgiving: I Have Seen the Lord (Hurd) AOV 1/98
Recessional: Sing of the Lord’s Goodness (Sands) AOV 1/131
With some misgivings I’m going back to a survey of Catholic Worship Book II, which will mean lots of music in a style to which I am not accustomed.
I had got up to the songs for Good Friday and have already blogged:
318 At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping
319 in CWB II is the chant from The Roman Missal and a BIAB backing won’t help with learning it, so I’m not doing one … also BIAB is lousy at chant.
It is available at the ICEL site – the one in CWB II is the middle chant.
It sounds like this (from the NPM site).
This is the last of the slightly more obscure Marty Haugen songs in my copy of Gather Comprehensive that I hadn’t blogged when looking at other sources.
This another anointing song that would also fit as a recessional or for funerals.
The tune is simple in the refrain and goes into interesting places in the verses for variety. I’ve seen it brought down from D to C, which is probably wise for groaners like me who won’t hit the long D’s in the verse.
The text is in the preview at GIA where the sheet music can be purchased.
This is another Marty Haugen song that is meant as a call and response between a cantor and the assembly in the vesres, but that I’m sure would work just as well sung through by everyone.
It has an obvious use for anointing but the matter in the verses could lend themselves to many liturgies. The refrain can be sung as a round in three parts if you are up for it.
The text in the sample at GIA , where the sheet music can be purchased for download.
This is Marty Haugen’s setting of the Magnificat that is in Gather Comprehensive.
It is another call and response between an assembly and a cantor that could also be sung through just by the assembly.
The sheet music is at GIA where the text is in their preview.
I’m not sure it is meant to go quite at this speed but it does emphasise the rejoicing.
I’m up to the last four Marty Haugen songs in Gather Comprehensive that I haven’t covered elsewhere.
I love this tune Marty Haugen wrote to set his adaptation of a text by St Augustine. It is a song of comfort in trial, but could be applied to anointing and reconciliation as well.
It is meant to be call and response between a cantor and assembly in the verses but the people could sing it all without trouble.
The sheet music can be purchased at GIA where the text is in their preview.
Entrance: Come As You Are (Brown) AOV 1/31
Psalm 102(McKenna)
The Lord is kind and merciful
Gifts: A Trusting Psalm (Bates) AOV 1/115
Communion: In the Breaking of the Bread (Hurd) AOV 1/58
Thanksgiving: Be Merciful (Haugen)
Recessional: Lift Up Your Hearts (O’Connor) AOV 1/156
I must be getting near the end of the Marty Haugen songs in Gather Comprehensive that haven’t turned up elsewhere in the collections I have blogged to date.
This is a song for Eucharist but could be used to gather as well. The tune sounds so familiar I fear I’ve done it before under another name, or maybe he played it when he was out here for a conference a few years ago.
The sheet music can be purchased at GIA where the text is in their preview.
This is another Marty Haugen tune setting a text by another author, in this case Herbert O’Driscoll.
It is a great entrance hymn and you could pick the verses to suit the liturgy.
The text is at Hymnary. I see it can be sung to BEACH SPRING as well.
The sheet music for Haugen’s setting can be purchased at GIA.
