John Stanley (1713-1786), born in London, wrote much music,
including three sets of Ten Voluntaries which, when published,
made him the most influential composer of the form, and the format
was often imitated by his contemporaries. Many of the pieces indicate
that some phrases are to be "eccho" and therefore both gallery and
antiphonal organ stops will be heard in alternation.

All Souls

Not a holy day of obligation, but everyone comes to Mass.
Why?

Maccabees

1 Cor 3

Rev 21:27

Eucharistic Prayer "... xxx ..."
which dead need our prayers?
souls in Heaven do not need our prayers
souls in Hell cannot benefit from our prayers
souls in Purgatory are the only ones left

P.S. Other scriptures
Psalm 30
