Aunty's Recording of Cambridge Mass Using the New Translation

Last Sunday's broadcast of BBC Radio 4's programme Sunday Worship was recorded at the Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, Cambridge on the occasion of the introduction in England and Wales of the new translation of the Roman Missal.  This recording is only available until Sunday 11 September 2011.

In brief:

• Sung greeting, solemn tone (celebrant Mgr. Peter Leeming)
• Kyrie - Mass XVI (Greek)
  Gloria - Mass XV (English)
• Gospel - Sung introduction and conclusion, simple tone
• Homily (given by precentor of Westminster Cathedral, Fr Alexander Master)
• Credo - Apostles' Creed (said)
• Prayer of the Faithful -  Petitions announced by reader, then "Be pleased to hear us" intoned by cantor, with the people responding "Lord, we ask you, hear our prayer" - as provided for in the Missal - excellent!!
• Sung Preface Dialogue
• Sanctus - Mass XVIII (English)
• Eucharistic Prayer II (new translation)
• Acclamation at the Mystery of Faith - We proclaim ... (Missal tone)
• Sung Doxology
• Sung Lord's Prayer (English, Missal tone)
• Agnus Dei - Mass XVIII (English)
• Final Blessing (said)
• Dismissal (sung, "Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life")

It seems there was some editing by the BBC, which is understandable, but the illuminating parts are retained.

Well done all concerned!
