This was the last section of Fiona Dyball and Damian Whelan’s talk at the recent APMN conference. Funerals must have been too much, even working quickly, but I suspect in parishes we are all more likely to play at a funeral than an ordination – that is cathedral business and people are paid for that sort of thing.
Nonetheless we are pointed to CWB II 130-133:
130 notes of celebrating an ordination
131 Litany of the Saints you know this from the Easter Vigil, except this is even longer. It is not something I will touch with Band in a Box.
132 O God of all creation (text Bernard Kirkpatrick, THAXTED)
This tune is now best known for it’s appearance in “Bluey”.
133 notes on religious profession
Dyball and Whelan map out their music liturgy for holy orders:
Responsorial psalm
Psalm 116/117 (Heagney) CWB I 375 sheet music – I am lucky enough to have an old second hand copy of Catholic Worship Book I from 1985. maybe you have some in an old box somewhere at church.
Go out to all the world and tell the good news
Entrance: The God of all grace (Manalo) sheet music
Litany of the Saints (Becker) in Gather Australia 552 sheet music
This is the metrical one (Thanks be to God)
Communion: Here I am, Lord (Schutte) AOV 1/90, CWB II 518 sheet music
Bread of Angels (Stephan) sheet music
Profession: These alone are enough (Schutte) sheet music
Recessional: Go Out, Go Out (Stephan) sheet music
All the chant music is here if that is what you need.
Geoff,
Fiona put together the music suggestions for the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne liturgical web site (https://summit.melbournecatholic.org/), but this stopped being updated last year. She did a fantastic job, because there something suitable for everyone, from a cathedral to a small suburban parish, and its a shame it is in hiatus. Did she mention anything about this at the conference?
Chris
It is a pity her suggestions aren’t up anymore and she didn’t mention it at the conference.
Maybe it only had funding for a limited amount of time.
Geoff
The pages she produced are still there, but you have to you the search bar to find them, unfortunately. She put a lot of effort into them and those of 2022 Year C are still going to be useful in 2025 Year C, etc., so they should at the very least make them readily visible, and then contract her to finish the gaps! The work she put into these sacramental suggestions show how worthwhile her suggestions are.
