Today, in celebration of Whitsunday, the Day of Pentecost, and in recognition of our Choral Scholars’ last official service this program year, Calvary Choir presents a Special Choral Eucharist, our first since before COVID. In place of the usual, congregational settings of Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus, and the Fraction Anthem, the Choir will sing movements from English organist and composer, Harold Darke’s (1888-1976), lovely Communion Service in E, one of thousands of musical settings of the Mass Ordinary that have been composed over the centuries and continue to be written by contemporary composers today. Such Mass settings are the norm in most cathedrals, and we hope this beautiful music will enhance your worship experience on this special day.
- Offertory Anthem: Handl, “Confirm in us”
- Hymns: “Come down, O Love divine,” “Holy Spirit, ever-living,” “Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,” “Hail thee, festival day”
- Psalm 104: Walker
- Service Music: Darke, Communion Service in E
