I do not know the origin of 951, but the people sure do belt it out with joy. The alleluia is lengthened by having the people sing the four-fold alleluia, then the cantor a verse, then the four-fold alleluia again, then the verse again, then the four-fold alleluia again. Normally, the people only sing the alleluia before and after the verse. <br /><br />Easiest way to use a verse with cantor singing the verse, is to use the "b" option in the LSB's Organist edition, and then to match it with tone E.William Weedonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01383850332591975790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-24328349474159253482011-05-11T13:29:39.481-05:002011-05-11T13:29:39.481-05:00Well. yes.

The beginning of the week is indeed an oft occurring and blessed reminder of our own new beginning, through the means of our Lord Christ's eternal triumph.<br /><br />But we can't entirely ignore other God-given cycles which are veritably appreciated amongst us, in body and time, can we? As Pr. Weedon emphasized right from the get-go, we have an entire <i>season</i> which cries out "New birth! New creature! New birth! New creature!" If the Church would refuse to do it, the sparrows and finches would surely shoulder the load. If not the latter beings, then the stones. If they're not too busy, dancing a jig.<br /><br />In this season, we do have our Mondays of Quasimodo Geniti, our Tuesdays of Misericordias Domini, our Wednesdays of Jubilate and a whole bunch more, actually. Fifty days of this, from the Lord who admired the lilies of the field, the work of His hands.<br /><br />What a wonderful time to be alive ... forever! Even the names that grace this delightful season, have a rhythm that would make a normal EKG blush.Michael L.

As a result every Sunday<br />should be a day to rejoice as<br />grateful Christians gather to <br />celebrate Christ's victory over sin,<br />death, and the devil. In effect the<br />entire church year celebrates Easter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-87598393885773979312011-05-10T10:21:26.477-05:002011-05-10T10:21:26.477-05:00What is the Celtic Alleluia?

How does one do that?<br /><br />Interested,<br />Jerry Gernanderjgernandernoreply@blogger.com
