Music Notes:


Happy Liturgical New Year to all! The New Church Year begins
today, and for the next twelve months our Scripture texts will be
found in the Hymnals under the headings "Sunday C" and "Weekday 1".


During Advent, our Introductory Rite is noticeably more penitential:
the Kyrie becomes more prominent as we set aside the Gloria except
for feast days (Dec 8 Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception,
Dec 12 Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe).


This weekend at the Sat 5 pm Vigil Mass, the Music is led by the
School Choir (directed by Rebecca Monson); and Lectors are from
Grade Two and Grade Six.


We begin the seventh year of use of our
hymnals (blessed and distributed Advent-1 2000); during the past
year, of the 294 hymns available (#190 to #475 plus 8 on rear cover),
our weekend use included 156 hymns (115 sung one time, 34 sung two
times, 7 sung three or more times).


The prelude and postlude this weekend use
the melody of Hymn 195 (melody in pedals, melody hidden among
other notes in manuals and pedals).
