Church Music Corner › Feast of St. Bartholomew 2025 [loc-001R]

MIHI autem nimis honoráti sunt amíci tui, Deus: nimis confortátus est principátus eórum.

EGO autem sicut olíva fructificávi in domo Dómini, sperávi in misericórdia Dei mei: et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est ante conspéctum sanctórum tuórum.

Inclína Dómine, aurem tuam ad me, et exáudi me: salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperántem in te: miserére mihi, Domine, quóniam ad te clamávi tota die.

Today our choir at All Saints Ainslie sang Anton Brucker's classic Locus Iste:

Locus iste a Deo factus est.	This place is made by God,
Inaestimábile sacraméntum,	A priceless sacrament,
Irreprehensíbilis est.	Beyond reproach.
Locus iste a Deo factus est.	This place is made by God.

Strangely, it seems that Roman Catholics ignored the feast today, just celebrating the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time instead. Not sure why that was happening.

I didn't go to Evensong today, because I'm so busy setting up the ICFP programming contest and arranging my move to Dickson.
