Eucharistic Setting No. 1
Your congregation and choir will find they enjoy singing these settings. They are relatively easy to learn and the SATB choir version of most of the settings can bring a heightened level of inspired worship.
- There are three forms of the Kyrie from which to choose based on local custom.
- There is a very nice setting of the Trisagion (trēˈ sȧ yȯn) that is an alternative to the Kyrie.
- The Gloria is set to a new Anglican-style chant and nicely pointed according to tradition.
- Singing the Nicene Creed to 4th century Ambrosian (monosyllabic) chant above the new organ accompaniment with momentum is a beautiful way to acknowledge our beliefs.
- The Sursum Corda is new with very subtle organ accompaniment where each verse and response raises a little higher and has a musically “open” cadence at the end.
- The Sanctus and Benedictus have an ease of singing that sometimes is lost with other modern settings.
- The Acclamation is in keeping with the style of the previous settings and ends with a cadence of anticipation.
- Finally, the Agnus Dei is a gentle setting still focused on chant-like singing that demonstrates a quiet, personal prayer for God’s mercy.
Soli Deo Gloria!
