As we come to the end of the liturgical year that is ending and prepare to welcome a new one with the start of Advent, we'll change our Mass setting to better align with the season.
Missa de lumine by Kathleen Demny is the setting we used last year for Advent and Christmas. The melody is drawn from a familiar Advent hymn, "Creator of the Stars of Night" (based on the chant melody Creator alme siderum). It is contemplative and reflective, inviting us to enter prayerfully into this season of preparation and celebration of Christ's birth.
You can find recordings of the Mass parts below. We will also be going through them before our Sunday Masses this weekend and next so that you can become familiar with them.
