What music do you guys use? Is there something similar on YouTube?
Let’s try it: _Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, beatae Mariae semper virgini, beato Michaeli archangelo…_
…mumbling…
_…mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa…_
…and continued mumbling.
My wife likes what you guys do, especially for the crash victims, and told me to start digging. Don’t wait up.

[This clip](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2yjKOu4W9ZU) is the _Sanctus_ (Holy, Holy, Holy) and the _Benedictus_ (Blessed is He who comes) from Palestrina’s _Missa Papae Marcelli_. We’ll be singing this mass on Easter Sunday morning. It’s one of our favourites. It’s written for six parts: SSATTB.
We won’t sound anywhere near as good as the recording of course, but we’re not too bad.

Well, no, not quite. The CofE was taken out of the authority of the Pope, but there was continuity in most of its personnel and structure (Cranmer continued as Archbishop of Canterbury from before the break with Rome through the Reformation into the attempt at counter-reformation, and wasn’t excommunicated by Rome until some 20 years after the break). The liturgy and (some) of its theology reformed from within, then and through the subsequent Elizabethan settlement, so it continues to claim continuity rather than to have been founded as a wholly new religion in Tudor times.
