ALL FOUR ADVENT INTROITS - DONE!

From the pen of Brian Michael Page - four Introits! One is a hymn based thereon, and the other three responsories. One of the three responsories has an antiphon that is adapted from a known Advent chant.

E-mail me for prices!

For the First Sunday of Advent:
LORD, I LIFT MY SOUL TO THEE (Link is full description and access to MIDI file)

For the Second Sunday of Advent:
PEOPLE OF SION - Antiphon text from the Roman Missal, 1973 / Verse text from the New American Bible / Music by Brian Michael Page, 2005 (antiphon) and 1995 (verses). A proclamatory antiphon setting in 3/4 (unison) with verses written in a Psalm-tone style.

For the Third Sunday of Advent:
REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS - Antiphon text translated from the Roman Gradual / Verse text from the New American Bible / Music by Brian Michael Page, 2005 (antiphon) and 1995 (verses). A joyful antiphon in 6/4 with verses (unison with a descant) written in a Psalm-tone style.

For the Fourth Sunday of Advent:
RORATE CAELI DESUPER/PSALM 19 - Antiphon in Latin from the Roman Gradual / New American Bible / Music by Brian Michael Page, 2005 (antiphon) and 1995 (verses). Antiphon is a metrical adaptation of the familiar Advent chant Rorate Caeli Desuper, so that the additional line "Aperiatur terra et germinet Salvatorem" can also fit, with an "ah" descant. Verses are in a Psalm-tone style.

All pieces are intended to be accompanied by the organ.
