A Diocesan Mass


I met with Jim Ballard, director of music at the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart this morning to talk about a Mass setting that we would use at Diocesan Masses. We chose the Mass for Christian Unity by Jan Vermulst and published by World Library Publications.

This is a revised setting and some of you may remember it from the past. It was one of the two early, popular settings of the Mass. The Holy, Holy from Vermulst's People's Mass has retained it's popularity but the Mass for Christian Unity fell into disuse.

It is a strong setting and one that will enhance our Diocesan Celebrations. If you are looking for a second Mass setting this would be a good one to choose so that when we come together we can sing well.
