We did Byrd’s Mass for 5 Voices and Aichinger’s \*Factus est repente \* this morning. ---

We’re doing an Evensong service next week, so we don’t have anything fancy planned for today. All we’re doing is Herbert Sumison’s Pentecost introit, Tallis’s _O Lord, Give Us Thy Holy Spirit_ and, I thnk, _Come, Holy Ghost_ by Eric Thiman. Thanks for the reminder, though. I need to tell the gentleman to wear something red. ---

LOL, my church does Pentecost in a big way. Unfortunately, we started the service with some awful contemporary piece. Then, we shot fire down the middle of the nave and used We are the Church Alive as the processional hymn. ---

We didn’t even sing an anthem today…the bell choir performed instead. We just did service music…call to worship, prayer response, benediction response. ---

No, we did some dreadful thing about “Mothering God”. When we hit the lyric about the “grape of love” my daughter and I both cracked up. Regards, Shodan ---

**Cunctator** - I really want to go to Mass at your parish some time. Our music was nothing to write home about. StG ---

[QUOTE=StGermain] **Cunctator** - I really want to go to Mass at your parish some time. Our music was nothing to write home about. [/QUOTE] You’re most welcome any time **StGermain**. It’s the traditional Latin Mass, so we can avail ourselves of all of the wonderful liturgical music of the past few hundred years that the rest of the Church has so unwisely jettisoned. ---

Our Director of Youth Ministry performed an absolutely stunning _Ave Maria_. She is frankly one of the best singers I have ever heard (and I’m into opera, among other things). ---

**Cunctator** - Well, the next time I’m in Sydney… Actually, I do have Australian cousins, but I’ve never visited them. Would your Mass be Tridentine? StG ---

[QUOTE=StGermain] Would your Mass be Tridentine? [/QUOTE] Yes, that’s right. Or the ‘extraordinary’ form of the Roman Rite, as it has become known since the motu proprio _Summorum Pontificum_, to distinguish it from the ‘ordinary’, Novus Ordo form.
