March 15 & 16 @ Bedford Presbyterian Church

Mass in B-minor
Kyrie Kyrie eleison Christe eleison Kyrie eleison
Gloria Gloria in excelsis Et in terra pax Laudamus te
Gratias agimus tibi Domine Deus Qui tollis peccata mundi
Qui sedes ad dextram Patris Quoniam tu solus sanctus Cum Sancto Spiritu
Symbolum Nicenum Credo in unum Deum Patrem omnipotentem Et in unum Dominum
Et incarnatus est Crucifixus Et resurrexit
Et in Spiritum sanctum Dominum Confiteor Et expecto
Sanctus Sanctus Pleni sunt cœli
Osanna, et cetera Osanna in excelsis Benedictus Osanna in excelsis
Agnus Dei Dona nobis pacem

"Long and frequent rehearsals have brought this performance about. After ... the wage-earning day, these ... Master Singers have converged on time at a rehearsal spot for two hours or more ... once, twice, or even three times a week for almost a year. [Those] Master Singers ... joined the ranks of those who have sung the B Minor Mass. -- Marjorie Otis Gifford from Spring 1988 concert progam notes.
