Online Choir
Preparing for the liturgical music for the upcoming April Camp or Homeschool Retreat 15-19 April 2024.
You can browse the recordings from previous years for an overview. Some people are keen to sing Sicut Cervus and Aichinger’s Regina Caeli this year.
Here is a list of Gregorian chant to learn, roughly in order of importance:
- Mass 1 / Missa Lux et Origo
- Extras - like Regina Caeli
- Compline - learning Roman Compline in Easter
- Votive Mass of the Holy Ghost for Monday
- Mass of a Virgin, not a martyr for St Bernadette for Tuesday
- Votive Mass of St Joseph for Wednesday
- Votive Mass of the Blessed Sacrament for Thursday
- Votive Mass of the Sacred Heart for Friday
I’ve made a little challenge minibook with an easter egg to colour in for each piece mastered. Here is a video on how to construct it.
Plans for Hymns at Mass
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Votive Mass of the Holy Ghost | St Bernadette | Votive Mass of St Joseph | Votive Mass of the Blessed Sacrament | Votive Mass of the Sacred Heart |
| Anima Christi | Regina Caeli | Ave Joseph | Sicut Cervus | Ave Verum |
| O Filii et Filiae | Ave Maris Stella | Sancti Venite | Adoro Te | Ametur |
| Holy God, we Praise Thy Name | O Purest of Creatures | Jesus, my Lord | Soul of my Saviour | Hail Redeemer |
There is also Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament each day which gives another opportunity for Eucharistic hymns such as:
- O Bread of Heaven
- Let all mortal flesh keep silence
- Draw nigh and take the Body of the Lord
- O Jesus Christ remember
The music for the motets, Sicut Cervus and Ametur, can be found in the new Choir Book:
Below is a list of all the pages in this section of Kids Chant.
