Music Notes:


This weekend at the 5 pm Vigil Mass, the Music is led
by the School Choir (directed by Rebecca Monson).


We have reached the mid-point of our Season of Lent, having
completed three weeks, with three weeks remaining. The Lenten
rubrics indicate that the organ remain silent except on Laetare
Sunday and Solemnities and Festive days and at any time to accompany
singing. Today is "Laetare Sunday", so named from the opening word
of the Introit (Isaiah 66:10-11 and Psalm 121:1): "Laetare Jerusalem
(Rejoice Jerusalem)". The special signs of joy (flowers, rose vestments,
greater use of instruments) permitted this day encourage us in our
course through this season of penance.


"King of Glory, King of Peace" combines an English poem by
George Herbert (1593-1632) with music by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750).
