  • Psalm 90 — Remember: we will have everyone sing melody only. I have reprinted this for you so that it is easier to read as well. (NB: if you study the lower half of the thumbnail image below, you’ll see it says, “repliti sumus…” followed by the descending neumes right in the middle below the play button. That is the line of music I referenced to derive the verse melody. It is a Portuguese Cistercian manuscript dating to approximately the year 1200.)

22nd Sunday in OT

Musical ordo for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, Goshen IN.

Thanks again for a wonderful rehearsal on Wednesday. We powered through quite a bit of music in spite of my harried preparation. Thank you!

Here is our ordo for OT 22:

  • Ordinary: Mass in Honor of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, by Michæl Olbash

  • Entrance Antiphon Hymn: “Have mercy, Lord, on Me.” (Tune: Conditor Alme Siderum) followed immediately by:

    • Fr. Weber1439

  • Psalm 15 “The one who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.”

  • Alleluia Sancte Jacobe — we will sing the verse unison a cappella just like last week.

  • Offertory Chant: Fr. Weber 1447 — Don’t forget that we changed the notes on the word “down” (which is shown in the video). Sorry I sound so stuffy.

  • Communion Chant: Fr. Weber #1453 — don’t forget we will pair verses 1&2, and 3&4 (men odd, women even) between repetitions of the refrain.

  • Communion Motet: Cantate Domino

  • Communion Hymn: Just as I am — I believe we sang this particular hymn one other time (the text is familiar, the melody less-so)

  • Recessional Hymn: Maria, Maria! — this is a Czech hymn that we did relatively recently (sometime this summer). We will only do two verses.

See you Sunday morning at 10:25!

May I first say that you all did an excellent job your first Sunday back! We are still finding our voice; I sense we all feel a little rusty, but you still sang very well and both of our priests were happy hearing you sing again. Fr. Royce also thought we did a particularly lovely job on the psalm. Thank you!

  • Ordinary: Mass in Honor of Our Lady, Star of the Sea, by Michæl Olbash

  • Entrance Antiphon Hymn: “Turn Your ear, O Lord.” (Tune: Austrian Hymn, a.k.a. “Glorious things of Thee are spoken” *If you listen to this piano rendition, change the speed to .75x)

  • Psalm 34: “Taste and see the goodness of the Lord”

  • Alleluia Sancte Jacobe (the track below is an S(A/T)B recording where I sing the verse for the solemnity of the Assumption, however the notes are obviously the same for this week).

  • Offertory Chant: With expectation I have waited…” (a.k.a. Exspectans exspectavi)

  • Communion Chant: Fr. Weber #1430

  • Communion Motet: “Humbly I Adore Thee” — McDonough
