Greetings All—
Here’s our ordo and our practice track resources for the Solemnity of Christ the King.
PS—do be sure to thank Carol the next time you grab a bottle of water. She kindly donates those cases of water.
PPS—please consider bringing a tissue box (or two) for the loft this weekend. It’s now “that time of year” and I suspect we will be going through them faster than not. It would be nice if we had a ready-to-hand set of spares for when we run out mid-Mass. (Thanks!)

Alright Gents—
Since we seemed to have a little difficulty pulling this together at rehearsal, I’ve made a “repeat after me” practice track which breaks the chant down into smaller chunks. I sing it once, then gently play the organ to guide you as you repeat it back. Below this video is a normal recording as well.
If we can pull this together Sunday morning, we will sing it as a group, if not, I or another cantor will chant it solo.
