With Fr. Blake leaving on vacation today, there was quite a bit of uncertainty what the 5pm Mass on this coming Sunday would be -- TLM or
Novus Ordo. On the other hand, with Tuesday being a Holy Day of Obligation with a 6pm Mass (covered by another choir since the Schola covered the 6:30am Mass), our practice was delayed until tonight. Things worked out at the last minute, however, with news that the Mass will be said by Fr. Seiler as a
Novus Ordo -- but predominately in Latin much like Fr. Blake did for the month of July 2016, immediately after his appointment to the Basilica, when he was still working on learning the TLM well enough to say it with appropriate dignity. Ultimately, the difference in language between the "English Mass" and the Traditional Latin Mass is the
least of the differences, it seems! In any case, I had just enough time before practice began to clear the core of the following line-up with him....
- Mass Propers in Latin (Introit, Offertory, and Communion Antiphon) [PDF]
- Responsorial Psalm and Gospel Acclamation in English [PDF]
- Mass Parts: Mass VIII De Angelis [as at right, including Gloria and Credo III]
- Incensation Psalm 140 [PDF]
- Post-Communion: Salve Regina [PDF -- Youtube]
- Postlude: Antiphona ad Sanctum Michaelem [PDF -- mp3]
I really haven't looked ahead to next week, but presumably Fr. Blake will be back with the TLM for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost.
In the meantime, come Tuesday night we will be back to our normal night for practice, and we will go over the upcoming week's daily-Mass feast day, St. Bartholomew on Thursday the 24th.
