The choir is readying several special anthems for Easter and Holy Week. Want to check out their music before coming to Mass so you can more readily enter into the music being sung? It's easy with the internet!
One anthem that will be used on Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday and Good Friday is entitled Who is that Man? The piece, sung from the prospective of someone watching the events of Holy Week take place in history, questions who Jesus is, why He lives so peacefully, why many and why his friends leave Him in His time of need.
It can be listened to here: http://listeninglab.stantons.com/title/who-is-that-man/462723/
An anthem that will be used at the Easter Vigil and on Easter Sunday at our 9:30am Choral Mass is entitled There is a Redeemer. The rich orchestration will make this piece truly special as the choir acclaims that we do have a Redeemer and that He has truly risen.

Finally our choir will repeat our popular Easter anthem from last year Glory to the Risen Lamb, but it will be slightly different since the orchestration will be primarily strings and woodwinds, whereas last year it was entirely brass.

There will be many other motets and anthems throughout the week to draw you into the liturgies being celebrated. Included are some more traditional motets by Samuel Webbe, W.A. Mozart and others.
We urge you to spiritually journey with us through the Holy Week Choral Masses.
Please note, our Choral Mass on Palm Sunday is at 10:45AM.
