Dear friends, as we approach Gaudete Sunday, I thought a piece of music might be in order.
I have always been a lover of beautiful music. The ancient Latin antiphons are magnificent. I was a tenor 1 in choir when I was in seminary. That is a whole ‘nother story but, I can still hit the high notes (if someone kicks me). Either way, this tune has always been a favorite of mine. Enjoy.
“Rejoice, rejoice, O Israel! To thee shall come Emmanuel!”
