SECOND SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY: Grace Notes: Why we sing what we sing

We are in Epiphanytide, all of which takes place within Christmastide. Today was a second-class feast and so father wore green. Nevertheless, we opted to do Mass II and Credo III to prolong the Christmas spirit a bit.

In recognition of the Epiphany, we sang What Star is This for the processional.

The Offertory antiphon was longish so we only managed two verses of Resonet in Laudibusas the Offertory hymn.

At the Communion, the mixed choir did the classic Victoria piece, O Magnum Mysterium, the fourth responsory from Matins of Christmas.

Finally, for the recessional, we did the rousing Christmas hymn Good Christian Men.
