Music List
|
Heartfelt congregational singing of the Mass setting, hymns and propers is a central part of our worship on Sundays and Holy Days. A professional cantor-soloist leads the responsorial singing and sings a post-communion solo twice a month, and a member of the congregation cantors on other occasions. Organ voluntaries from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century are played before and after Mass except during Lent. The communion music is provided by piano and acoustic guitar, joined once or twice a month by oboe. On half a dozen special occasions each year a professional trumpeter helps the congregation hit the high notes.
The following were recorded for the congregation by cantor-soloist Emma Charles and organist Martin Black when public services were put on hold in 2020: The Lord Is My Shepherd (responsorial) Schubert, Ave Maria Mozart, Ave Verum Corpus Now the Green Blade Riseth Bach-Gounod, Ave Maria Geoffrey Burgon, Nunc Dimittis César Franck, Panis Angelicus Rutter, The Lord Bless You and Keep You Fauré, Pie Jesu (Requiem) More were recorded when a cantor-soloist was allowed to sing in the gallery, before congregational singing was permitted: Ernest Sands, May the Choirs of Angels Caccini (Vavilov), Ave Maria Henry Purcell, Hark! Hark! the Echoing Air (The Fairy Queen) |
