Memorial Acclamations – The Mayfield Mass

We proclaim your death, O Lord, and profess your resurrection
until you come again.
 

 

When we eat this bread and drink this cup,
we proclaim your death, O Lord,
until you come again.

 

Save us Saviour of the world, for by your cross and resurrection
you have set us free.

These are all fine tunes and don’t leave the workman like taste for these acclamations that you get in some settings, although it is a huge challenge for anyone setting these shorter pieces. Someone more conventional (like me) would have repeated the last line of “when we eat” to have a resolution to the tune, but Kate leaves it hanging. The “Save us” tune is probably the pick of them, or at least the most distinctive.
