SMALL CHANGE FOR EASTER SEASON LAMB OF GOD
Starting with the Easter Vigil and through Easter Season, continuing through summer, instead of the Lamb of God from the Mass of St. Philip Neri (as indicated on the music lists), we will sing the English version of the Lamb of God we are currently singing during Lent. You should be able to sight read the music because you have such good skills. See the right for an icon to view the sheet music and a sample rough recording to help you get the notes.

Sunday 5PM singers, in addition to that Lamb of God, there is a chance we will also sing the English version of the Sanctus from Mass VIII (Missa de Angelis). That would only be at the Sunday 5PM Mass, not the others. Sheet music to view and a sample rough recording are provided to the right. More on that possibility later.​
