I excused myself from the Wednesday practice claiming a cold and sore-back combo.
Apparently, the idea of a Scratch Chant-Day was popular. Let us try to arrange this in September, then we will have enough time to plan and publicise it to get interested people to attend. I will speak to Fr Kenneth about St Mary's hall and church. We may even be able to have an organist if Cath Docherty is available.
The Missa de Angelis was practiced in anticipation of the Masses after Easter. It went well.
The Missa Cum Jubilo swung along. Jack commented on the Celtic sounding nature of the Gloria. Try listening to Mari’s Wedding first, and then the Gloria (I don't hear it myself).
Regina Coeli is coming up over the next few weeks:
Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia,
Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia,
Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.
Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia.
For He whom you deserved to bear in your womb, alleluia.
Has risen, as He promised, alleluia.
Pray for us to God, alleluia.
Finally, the Schola is invited to sing at the Latin Mass in Arbroath on 25th May.
I'm told that this date is important for Celtic supporters.
