Liturgical Notes:
This is the last weekend of the short segment of Ordinary Time.
Mid-week the Penitential Season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday
and the character of our liturgies changes: no flowers; no organ
preludes, interludes, postludes; the Gloria is suspended except
for Solemnities; the Alleluia is not said or sung from Tue Feb 28
after Compline (Night Prayer) until well after sunset Sat Apr 15
(Easter Vigil).
Music Notes:
This weekend is the last chance to sing the Gloria and Gospel
Acclamation for about seven weeks; do sing well and strongly at
these moments! On Ash Wednesday (7pm Mass) the choir will sing
the Miserere (Psalm 51) by Gregorio Allegri.
