Church Music Corner › Second Sunday of Lent 2026 [loc-003D]

Tibi dixit cor meum, qeæsívi vultum tuum, vultum tuum Dómine requíram: ne avértas fáciem tuam a me.

Reminíscere miseratiónum tuárum, Dómine, et misericórdiæ tuæ, quæ a saéculo sunt: ne unquam dominéntur nobis inimíci nostri: líbera nos Deus Israel ex ómnibus angústiis nostris.

This Sunday our director was away at All Saints Ainslie so I directed us for the Agnus Dei from Byrd's Mass for Four Voices, one of my favourite pieces:

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccáta mundi, miserére nobis.	Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccáta mundi, miserére nobis.	Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccáta mundi, dona nobis pacem.	Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

I also auditioned for the Coro choir. I think I stuffed up the sight reading, but I'll hope for the best.
