Antiphon after Offertory: Ubi Caritas, Chant harmonized by Craig Kingsbury (b. 1952)
Communion Antiphon: Amen, Dico Vobis, John Mason
The chant Ubi Caritas is the 8th and final antiphon that is sung during the washing of feet on Holy Thursday. The text of the refrain is: Where charity and love are, there is God. The choir will sing the original Gregorian melody with a choral refrain harmonized by Craig Kingsbury.
This Sunday’s setting of Amen, Dico Vobis is a world premier written by John Mason, a composer who is a member of the St. Lawrence Choir. The text of this antiphon is from Mark’s Gospel 11:24: Amen, I say to you, whatsoever you ask when you pray, believe that you shall receive, and it shall be done to you. The antiphon is alternated with Psalm 130 and followed by a Gloria Patri.
