A lot of people have written to me looking for an alternative to the Gospel Acclamation found in the usual missalettes. Seems they haven’t convinced Father yet that they should be singing the Tract. Here’s an option whose melody is loosely based on the first few notes of this Sunday’s Tract.
I’ll post options for upcoming Lenten Sundays later this week.
Would the verse not work better if the descent from fa to mi came on "mouth" with "of" and "God" on do and re? The rhythm of your version strikes my ear rather unnaturally.
Mark, that's certainly an option. Unlike with the Latin, there are no fixed rules for English. I placed "mouth" on the do because the musical accent in the Psalm tone formula is on the do.
Thank you so much for posting this. The Chant Cafe is a treasure!
