The Epiphany

Organ Prelude:  Prelude sur l'Introit, Maurice Durufle

At the Procession:  As with gladness, Dix, 225
Gloria simplex, Richard Proulx
Gradual Psalm 72, Lord every nation, Guimont Psalter
Advent Alleluia, plainsong, mode VI
Offertory:  We three kings, Kings of Orient, 224
Offertory Solo (Vigil and 11:30):  Noel, Gabriel Faure
Plainsong Ordinary, ICEL
Communion:  The first nowell, 223
Hymn of Thanksgiving:  Songs of thankfulness and praise, Salzburg, 227

Organ Postlude:  Pasticcio from Organ Book, Jean Langlais

For the third year in a row Danielle Svonavec sings Mass for the Epiphany at St. Vincent's Church.  The offertory solo is a beautiful work for piano (organ) and voice; the French text reflects on the light of the Incarnation.
