Thanks Deon

It was wonderful, at St. Michael's Observatory, to be part of an Old
Prayer Book Mass so beautifully and sincerely offered. 

It's been nearly 30 years since I sang the Propers. So much meaning is
thereby imported to the scriptures appointed for the day, and these
threads of plainsong are a great way to enhance the action at key points
in the service. Periods that otherwise be masked by (in my case)
meandering extemporisation or embarrassed silence.

I shall at my own Parish of St. George in Parktown be leading a crusade
for their re-introduction.

In with the new, but in with the old too! 

Peter Black

Trinity V
9.30am High Mass:
(The Rev Fr Michael Parker)

C.S. Lang : Fanfare

Propers : Exaudi, Dominus
Service :  Darke in E
Anthem : The Lord hath been mindful of us - S.S. Wesley

Int   :   Praise to the Lord, the Almighty - Praxis pietatis
Grad : City of God, how broad and far - Richmond
Off   :  Angel-voices ever singing - Angel voices
Com :  O my Saviour, lifted - North Coates
Rec  :  Hosanna in the highest - Hosanna in excelsis 

Faulkes : Grand Choeur


We had the pleasure of a visit from Peter Black, organist of St 
George's Parktown, who came and sang in the choir. He is a spendid 
bass and I rather wish I could have his services a lot more often! 
It's always nice to experience generous co-operation - rather than 
bitchy rivalry - from one's fellow musicians.

Off to the UK tonight where, nothing untoward occurring, I shall be 
in the loft at the Abbey for next Sunday's evensong (Howells: 
Gloucester Service; Walton: The Twelve) , before drifting down to 
Chichester for the Southern Choirs Festival.

Cheers
