Line-Up for 05 AUGUST: ELEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST (plus 06 Aug Transfiguration; 10 Aug St. Lawrence))

Sunday 05 August (music sheet order) -- FIRST SUNDAY WITH ORGAN
  • [Asperges Me]
  • MASS PROPERS: 11th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST [LINK]
    • Introit: Deus in loco sancto suo [Mass Propers]
  • Kyrie VIII De Angelis
  • Gloria VIII De Angelis
    • Gradual: In Deo speravit [Mass Propers]
    • Alleluia: Exultate Deo [Mass Propers]
  • Credo III 
    • Offertory: Exaltabo te Domine [Mass Propers]
  • HYMN: O GLORIOSA DOMINA [LINK] [VIDEO]
    • Note: 5 August is a Basilican Feast Day: The Dedication of St. Mary Major ("Our Lady of Snows"). Although our monthly themed hymn for August will be Salve Regina, I decided to use something else to set this feast apart.
    • The video is close but not exactly the way we will be doing it. Mainly it has a tendency to render many syllables as multiple notes where our version just has single notes.
  • Sanctus VIII De Angelis
  • Agnus Dei VIII De Angelis
    • Communio: Honora Dominum [Mass Propers]
  • Antiphona ad S. Michaelem Archangelem (no Alleluia)
PREVIEW of Sunday 12 August 
  • MASS PROPERS: 12th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST [LINK]
  • HYMN: SALVE REGINA (Solemn Tone) [LINK]
    • Note: August being the month of the Queenship of Mary (feast on the 22nd) what more appropriate hymn could there be? We will attempt the Solemn Tone rather than the more familiar simple tone, at least for this Sunday.
