No.1 and No. 2 from 5 Pièces Pour Flûte by Jean Langlais
This is one of my all-time favorite hymns. If I die during Easter season, please sing this at my funeral: Ye Sons and Daughters
Psalm - Let all the earth cry out to God with joy; Gospel acclamation.
When I first played this a few weeks ago, I thought "Hey! I recognize this tune!" Sure enough, my parents a few months back bought for me the sheet music for Variations Sur un Noël by Marcel Dupre. "Now the Green Blade Rises" is based on the same French Noel. Now the Green Blade Rises
Here's the Dupre piece for comparison's sake.
Finally, the tune to Christ the Lord is Risen Again is really beautiful The words aren't too bad, either. :-)
Did anyone notice that the air conditioning didn't run during the entire Mass? I have a feeling that Fr. Pat turned the temp up for the benefit of our recording. Or maybe it was a coincidence. In either case, God bless him.

I did notice that the AC didn't run during Mass and I was HOT. But it might have been because I went for a run before Mass and probably hadn't properly cooled down enough for comfort's sake. Thankfully it was turned back on for Adoration and I actually got cold.
When I got there at 4:30 or so, it was VERY cold. I texted home and asked the fam to bring me a jacket. It wasn't needed.
Maybe he tried to make it a meat locker so that he could turn off the AC during Mass and it would be okay. It wasn't THAT bad.. I'm just a big cry baby when I get hot hehe
