Greetings all—
Here are our practice sources for this coming Sunday. I will also be including a “lookahead” section at the bottom for anyone who wants to keep ahead of the music we are working on.

Permanent Diaconal Ordinations (2024)
Greetings All—
I know this is late in coming, but here are practice track resources for tomorrow. Let’s warmup at 8:45. It will be a whirlwind warmup, but that should be sufficient. Here’s the bullet point rundown:
Processional Hymn: [Magnificat] My Soul Doth Magnify The Lord to AGINCOURT (see below for MP3 demo)
Confiteor + Kyrie from Missa De Angelis (with jubilus)
Psalm 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd…” BILINGUAL (“El Señor es mi pastor…”)
NB: the demo featured below is totally in english. However at Mass, we will sing the refrains after verses 2&4 in spanish. Good news is, the music is nearly identical.
Litany of Supplication (Saints)
Antiphon for the Handing On of the Book of the Gospels: “Blessed are they…” arr. JJR
Antiphon chanted during the ‘Fraternal Kiss’ : “Whoever serves Me, says the Lord…” #212 from Ordination of a Bishop, Priest, or Deacon.
Offertory Hymn: Lord, Pour Thy Spirit from on High! To VENI CREATOR
Sanctus & Agnus Dei: Missa XVIII (simple gregorian, in LATIN)
Mysterium Fidei: ICEL / Missal version, in Latin.
Communion Antiphon: “The Son of Man did not come to be served…” arr. JJR.
Communion Hymn: Laudate Dominum (English hymn with Latin refrain) by JJR
Recessional Hymn: Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim, to Parry’s LAUDATE DOMINUM.
The refrain will be sung in SPANISH two times: after verses 2 & 4. The easy rule is this: if I cantor the verse in spanish, then sing the refrain in the same language.
ANTIPHONS:
Our Offertory hymn will be in english, but sung to this melody.
Palm Sunday 2024
Hi Friends—
Here’s my (very late) ordo for you. I’m just going to list everything as links; this is faster and it’s easier to read, I think. Just click on whatever you need.
All Glory, Laud, and Honor (here’s our specific arrangement)
[no entrance antiphon]
NB: Kyrie comes immediately after All Glory, Laud, and Honor (it feels funny to transition this way)
Psalm 22, “My God, my God, why have You abandoned me?!”
Offertory Motet: My heart expected reproach and misery… (don’t forget, we are on version 2.0 of this motet, and there are minor tweaks to the version featured in this older practice video)
Communion:
JJR chants antiphon.
Communion Hymn: Stricken, Smitten & Afflicted to the tune of God of Mercy and Compassion
Post-Communion Meditation: O Sacred Head (Passion Chorale NB: there are links to each voice part in the video description if you want to hear your part)
Recessional Hymn: The Head that Once Was Crowned by Thorns (Detroit)
Good Friday 2024
[Entrance is silent]
Psalm 31: Father into Your hands, I commend my spirit.
Make sure you’re really comfortable with this one because I would like to sing it a cappella!Lenten Gospel Acclamation (again, a cappella, the theme of this whole liturgy)
Veneration of the Cross:
JJR sings Fr. Weber #647
The Reproaches (simple setting, JJR after the Lalemant Propers); JJR & MT alternate verses in Part II.
Crux Fidelis / Faithful Cross (Picardy)
Communion:
Communion Motet: Mulier, Mulier, ecce filius Tuus (JJR, MT, EE)
