Okay ... I think I've got this right now: Practice on
this Tues 10 Oct is going to be short and intense again since Fr. Blake is holding EMHC and Lector training in the Basilica at 6pm. The same will be true for next week, the 17th, for which preview see below. Please, if at all possible, pre-practice each week the current Introit with the linked mp3 and video.
Here's the line-up for practice Tues 10th -- my plan is to hit the Propers for Sunday and work them -- mainly the Introit -- right up to 6pm. We will practice upstairs so that people assembling for the meeting downstairs will be less distracting while we're still practicing.
For Sun 15 Oct: Nineteenth Sunday
- Mass Propers [PDF]
- Mass Parts: Mass VIII -- De Angelis
- After Offertory: Psalm 140 Incensum [PDF]
- After Communion: Te Gestientem Gaudiis [PDF -- Video]
- Postlude: Antiphona ad Sanctum Michaelem [PDF -- mp3]
Upcoming Daily Mass Feasts
- Wed 18 Oct: St. Luke [gdoc]
Next Week Preview
Special Service
- 02 Nov All Souls Day -- Vespers at 6pm (See immediately below regarding practice on the 17th)
With regard to practice on the 17th:
Father will be having a second session of EMHC and Lector training at 6pm on the 17th. Nevertheless, we will practice, again up in the choir loft. This is an especially important practice, because Roxanne Lane will join us to practice the Vespers chants and hymns for the upcoming All Souls Day service with organ accompaniment. She will likely not be able to be here on the 24th, and the only other practice before All Souls Day will be Halloween night, which with the activities planned for down town will not be a good night for getting to and from the Basilica for practice. We probably will practice that evening, but it will likely be at my house, possibly with Roxanne on a portable keyboard, and I would prefer we go through All Souls Vespers at least once with the organ before that. So please plan to attend practice that night, Tues 17th: My plan will be to practice Vespers with Roxanne on the organ first thing, hopefully getting through it by 6pm, then we can practice our regular a capella Sunday Mass Propers upstairs while Father's training proceeds downstairs.
