Bach Feb. 4 Prelude and Fugue in G Major Johann Sebastian Bach ( ) Note on Choral Masses At the 9 (and 11:15) Holy Eucharist during the season of Epiphany, the Ordinary (Gloria, Sanctus/Benedictus and Agnus Dei) are sung by the choir. This venerable tradition is maintained and nurtured in Anglican cathedrals and certain parish churches around the world. The practice invites a different, perhaps deeper participation by the congregation. While the choir sings, the worshippers meditation on the words and how the composer has expressed them can invite new ways of engaging these ancient texts. Musical settings include: Harold Darke Communion Service in F (mid-20th c.) on Jan. 7 & 28; Richard Webster s Missa Dorica (Mass in the Dorian Mode, 1996) on Jan. 14 & Feb. 4; Philip Stopford s Keble Missa Brevis (1997) on Jan. 21; and Missa Brevis of Benjamin Britten (1959) on Feb. 11. Congregational singing of the Ordinary will resume during Lent, with Richard Proulx s Missa Oecumenica, an adaptation of music from the Russian liturgy.
