Here is the Gregorian Introit for the Fifth Sunday of Easter. This is one of my favourites, and a great one for all singers (and the name of our choir here!)
“Sing to the Lord a new song, alleluia; for the Lord has accomplished wondrous deeds, alleluia; he has revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles, alleluia, alleluia. V. His right hand and his holy arm have given him victory.”
(Thanks to CCWatershed and their collection of practice videos for the Propers!)
What is often the excuse for not singing the Propers? (if you know what propers are) Too hard. Choir can’t/won’t learn them. I don’t know how to read it. I didn’t know they were in English.
Here is yet another new resource available for FREE download. We have so many options to use the given texts, and actually sing THE Mass and not just sing AT Mass.
Check out the other work they have been up to over there too.
The Catholic Faith Shines with the Light of Christ
Experiences from the pulpit, pew, & organ bench. All stories are true but the names have been changed.
"Shall I tell you the secret of the whole world? It is that we have only known the back of the world. We see everything from behind, and it looks brutal. That is not a tree, but the back of a tree. That is not a cloud, but the back of a cloud. Cannot you see that everything is stooping and hiding a face? If we could only get round in front —" G. K. Chesterton
