Sunday choral report

Yesterday was the Feast of the Dedication of Saint John Lateran, so we had gold vestments (but no incense).  It was also the closest Sunday to Remembrance Day, so some of the music reflected that, although the homily was firmly focussed on the gospel and the feast.

Procession:  Christ is Made the Sure Foundation (Westminster Abbey)
Offertory:  Remember Not, Lord, Our Offences (Purcell) (sung here by Chanticleer)
Communion:  In Paradisum (Faure) (here)
Recessional:  All My Hope on God is Founded (Michael)

New in progress:
Hymn to the Virgin (Britten)
