5 October - 21st Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 22

Here are my music lists, as usual. This time around, I have four lists.

I cantored the Mass at Immaculate Conception. As usual, the numbers come out of GIA's Gather Comprehensive 1994 (green cover):

Sunday 7.45 am Mass: 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gloria: 176 (Andrews)
Gospel Acclamation: 257, Alleluia 7 (Berthier). I fit the following verse to the tone indicated, minus Alleluia: "I have chosen you from the world, says the Lord, to go and bear fruit that will remain."
Sanctus, Mem. Accl., Amen, Agnus Dei: Mass of Light, with my "doctoring" of the Agnus Dei, essentially undoing the language faux-pas Haas inflicted upon it in the first place ...

Pro: 756, Morning has broken (BUNESSAN)
Psalm: 74, Psalm 80 (Guimont)
Off: 726, Make me a channel of your peace (S. Temple setting) - makes sense this would be programmed as close to St. Francis' feast day, especially considering the parish is staffed by Franciscan friars.
Comm: Organist's Voluntary
Re: 493, The works of the Lord are created in wisdom (KREMSER)

St. Joseph's Episcopal Church where I played my usual 10.30 am service. As usual, numbers are out of The Hymnal 1982.

The Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist: Rite II
Prelude: Largo Staccato from Voluntary IX (Op. 7; J. Stanley)
Pro: 372, Praise to the living God (LEONI)
Song of Praise: S-236 (Benedictus es, Domine; J. Rutter)
Psalm: Psalm 19 (Guimont)
Seq: 458, My song is love unknown, vs. 1-2; 5 (LOVE UNKNOWN)
Off: 448, O love, how deep, how broad, how high (DEUS TUORUM MILITUM)
Sanctus: S-125, Community Mass (Proulx)
Lord's Prayer: chanted (S-119 in Hymnal 1982)
Fraction Anthem: S-167, The disciples knew the Lord Jesus (M. Martens; Mode 6)
Comm: WLP 827, O Lord, hear my pray'r (Taizé)
Re: 518, Christ is made the sure foundation (WESTMINSTER ABBEY)

Off: 448, O love, how deep, how broad, how high (DEUS TUORUM MILITUM)
Sanctus: S-125, Community Mass (Proulx)
Communion Hymn: WLP 827, O Lord, hear my pray'r (Taizé)
Re: 518, Christ is made the sure foundation (WESTMINSTER ABBEY)
Postlude: Improvisation on Westminster Abbey

Compline at Chapel of the Cross.

We've been using the Order for Compline, as set by David Hurd.

Here are our little additions:

O Lord, the maker (at ca. 5m 10s; William Mundy)
Psalm 91 (chanted to Tone 8)
Hymn: To you before the close of day (TE LUCIS ANTE TERMINUM, plainsong Mode 8)
Nunc Dimittis with Faux-bourdons (H. Willan)
Salve Regina (Marian antiphon right after the Dismissal)
Ave Maria (Josquin Desprez)
Organ Voluntary by the abfab David Arcus.

Perhaps it's just as well I posted these lists today. Earlier today, I met a man who has been a regular at the Compline services. He brings his father to these services. He admitted that these services are the first his father has been to in at least 30 years. His father grew up in Greensboro, NC in the 1930s, and was turned off to church and religion as a whole as a result. The Compline services has brought him back. It made me feel very good when I heard this story. It really is nice to know that by singing this 30 minute service, we are making a difference in peoples' lives.
