For Vigil this year, I am pretty much copying what we did in 2023:
For Vigil we will use Tony Alonso’s Exsultet if the practices go well! The sheet music is available at GIA.
Here we use three psalms in the readings and we will sing the responses using Amanda McKenna’s settings.
Psalm 32
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord,
The goodness of the Lord.
Psalm 15
Keep me safe O God; you are my hope.
Keep me safe O God; you are my hope.
Exodus 15
Let us sing to the Lord;
He has covered himself in glory.
We use Taylor’s Mass of St Francis as usual except we still use the Celtic Alleluia.
