1 Advent, 2010


Litany of the Word – Bernadette Farrell
The light of Christ – Marty Haugen
Ps 121: I rejoiced – Nick Baty
Alleluia Veni Emmanuel – Nick Baty
City of God – Dan Schutte
Valley Music – Nick Baty
Fraction Song 5 – Nick Baty
Let all mortal flesh keep silence

We're keeping the music very simple throughout Advent and using several items each week to tie the season together. Farrell's Litany of the Word is particularly useful as, with so many verses, we are able to choose those which best fit each week. We're using it each week: Fr Graeme and servers arrive in the sanctuary almost casually and we all remain seated. The Litany builds up, continues and fades away and we begin Mass in a very quiet, reflective way. The reaction from the assembly has been most positive.
