While I was fussing over settings for the Exsultet, I mentioned I hadn’t heard Erica Marshall’s version.
Fiona Dyball (who knows about these things) has come to the rescue, letting us see what was going on at the Immaculate Conception Church, Hawthorn, Australia at Easter Vigil. Any church would be blessed by an introduction to the Vigil as dignified and graceful as this.
The sheet music can be bought at Willow and you can see from the clip, the accompaniment can be minimal, simple and a beautiful support to the cantor.
Erica Marshall has written popular masses and many hymns as well as her work as an arranger over many decades. I popped her name in my search area and was surprised how just how many of her songs have turned up on the blog over the years.
