Gifts: Dona Nobis Pacem (AOV 106)

For the Sunday Night mass it will be just me and my guitar 🙂

R: Galilee Song (Anderson) AOV 5
Lovely to hear from you, Emma.
Family lore tells me that my forebears the Maddens of Ipswich were the carpenters responsible for the pews in St Mary’s Ipswich.
I’ll have to find “Come With Me Into the Fields” a Dan Schutte oldie that has escaped my attention.
Any idea why your parish sang “So You Must Do” for the Archbishop? Isn’t that for Holy Thursday?
Enjoy leading with just the guitar tonight. I usually do that but I’m experimenting with a keyboard and MIDI backings tonight as a supplement for my guitar. I haven’t done that in years but it is in the nature of research.
cheers
Geoff
Hi Geoff
I don’t choose the choir hymns, our choir leader does. And I don’t know exactly why she chose So You Must Do. We sing it for Holy Thursday and perhaps she thought it had a fitting message of humility which tied in with this weeks gospel? I enjoy singing it, as we do the echoes in the refrain as an alto line. It’s an easy one for the congregation to join in with as well. It deserves more than just one airing per year 😊
On another note, I wonder how many parishes in total used Gillard’s Servant Song this weekend?
Great to hear the music selections from Ipswich Emma. Does the pipe organ in the loft still get played at all?
Hi Chris
We only sing in the choir loft at Midnight Mass, Stations of the Cross and Easter Vigil now. And yes the pipe organ gets played when we are up there. Its always a treat to hear it!
During Stations of the Cross this year a huge lump of plaster fell from the cornice onto the back pew in the choir loft. It frightened the life out of us! Not sure if they are going to let us back up there for Christmas until its structurally ok.
Cheers
Emma
