Sunday, March 25, 2012 - The Fifth Sunday in Lent

Organ Prelude: Prelude in G - Felix Mendelssohn
Hymns:
  • Processional Hymn 564 - Lead us, heavenly Father - Mannheim 
  • Offertory Hymn 185 - Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle - Oriel 
  • Recessional Hymn 438 - O Jesus, I have promised - Wolvercote 
Organ Postlude: Fugue in G - Felix Mendelssohn

Music Notes
Next Sunday (Palm Sunday) the choir is singing a longer-than-usual piece of music in an unusual place in the service.  Instead of an organ prelude, the service will begin with a wonderful work called Procession of Palms by Malcolm Williamson, an Australian born, UK based composer who was Master of the Queen's Musick until his death in 2003.  It is a very fitting way in which to begin the exuberance of Palm Sunday.
