St David's day
Be thou my vision
Gloria Duffy responsorial
Psalm 128 Marty Haugen
"The Blessed Virgin compared to the Air we breathe" New anthem by Gabriel Jackson to text by Gerard Manley Hopkins sung by choirs of Farm Street and Sacred Heart Wimbledon - effective use of a solo organ stop!

Mawby Ave verum
Tantum ergo Fernand Laloux
Soul of my saviour
Guide me O thou great redeemer
Vierne Finale from 6th symphony
A lovely celebration combining grandeur with congregational participation

Bet it was magnificent. Meanwhile in our little parishes we plod on..

I'm sure most little parishes can do just as well – if not better!
