Palestrina’s setting of today’s Communion antiphon –
The Good Shepherd has risen,
who laid down his life for his sheep
and willingly died for his flock, alleluia.
was written for male voices (ATTB), but with not much editing in order to keep the notes agreeably spaced, it works nicely for mixed voices, with the first tenor part, suitably transposed, given to the sopranos. With that, and Chris Walker’s setting of Ps 22(23), the Gospel Acclamation and our opening and closing hymns, we had a diverse range of shepherd-themed musical selections.
In addition, Bernadette Farrell’s setting of Ps 117(118) gave the assembly a significant musical role in the lengthy refrain, which was taken up with vigour.
