Well, except for "Gather Us In" (the choirmaster's nod to the folks who LIKE that stuff . . ) it was all good. "In Christ There Is No East or West" is not one of my faves, but it's o.k. The other hymns were fine - "O Sacrament Most Holy" and one of the German chorales (can't remember which).

Anthems: O Taste and See (Vaughn Williams) and the Ubi Caritas (first the chant, then the beautiful Durufle setting).

Barn-burner of a homily from our parochial vicar.

Ubi Caritas is sublime and Durufle's setting is one that I sing in times of distress. This setting, Howells' Mag and Nunc, and David Hurd's "Love Bade Me Welcome" were the signature pieces of my former Episcopal choir. I had to pop in a couple of our CDs just to cleanse my mind of "Oh, taste and seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, taste and seeeeeeeeeeeeee, the gooooooooooooooooooodness aaaaaaaaaahv the Loooooooooooooooord, oh, taste and seeeeeeeeeeee....ad nauseum"
