Music at noon Mass
Processional Hymn : "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling"
Offertory : "O Lord My God, To Thee"- Jacques Arcadelt (1510-1568)
Communion : "Panis Angelicus" - Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921)
Recessional Hymn: "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise"
A bit of an explanation is probably in order. While the congregation sings the Processional and Recessional hymns along with the choir, it's up to the choir members to sing the more difficult Offertory and Communion pieces. The congregation also sings, or rather chants, the various "Mass parts": the Kyrie, the Gloria, etc.
This week was a bit unusual in that Camille Saint-Saëns is a much more modern composer than the ones whose works we usually sing. Jacques Arcadelt is a more typical choice.
