25th Sunday after Pentecost
10:00 am Choral Eucharist
Normand Richard, cantor
The music for this morning’s service constitutes an “organ mass” in which phrases of the liturgical chants are shared between cantor and organ. We feature the Livre d’orgue de Montréal, the largest manuscript collection of 18th century French organ pieces in the world, brought to Montreal by a young organist cleric in 1724.
