A small but perfectly-formed subset of the choir reassembled for our first outing since the summer break. As usual for the first Sunday in September, we were joined by a large contingent from Province 1 of the Catenian Association, who sang with as much verve as ever. This was the first Sunday for a few years when their visit coincided not with the 23rd Sunday but the 22nd. (I wonder if they imagined until this week that the only motet we knew was Palestrina’s Sicut Cervus?)
Our song at the Preparation of the Gifts was a setting of the same psalm as the Entrance Antiphon text from Ps 85(86):O Lord, you are good and forgiving
Full of mercy to all who call to you
while our opening hymn had similar themes taken from Ps 102(103).
The readings spoke of following the Lord’s commandments, as did Samuel Wesley’s simple choral anthem, setting the psalm verses Ps 4:8 and Ps 5:8.
