Things were a bit chaotic at times, but hopefully, this gave everyone an idea of how this new Mass Setting will flow. Also, like Eva mentioned, learning the voice parts would really add quite a bit to this Setting, even if we start with the simpler pieces and work our way up. We'll start using this Setting next week, 03/04.
Mass on Saturday was one of our strongest in a while. The closing song, We Will Serve the Lord, was definitely a highlight and one we should do more often (remind me to program it every now and then :-). If you missed it, you can check it out here.
I also wanted to pass along compliments from several folks who approached us afterward. An older couple even commented that they've never seen a Mass conducted before, and found this really helpful for following along, knowing when to come in, etc.. Nice job all around!
Keep an eye out for a new page on the website that will combine all the Mass Setting materials under one roof. I'm hoping to make this live later this week.
For Morning Has Broken, a reminder that we typically use the Cat Stevens version, which includes a different intro/interlude, and a key change for the third verse (not in the book).
We're still looking for a cantor for My Soul Is Thirsting. If interested, let me know.
