Sacred Heart of Jesus Latin Mass Choir

Our Music

 

We perform traditional Catholic hymns in both English and Latin. We sing both unison and 3- or 4- part hymns.

Our Repertoire

​

As a traditional Latin Mass choir, our repertoire consists of many familiar Catholic hymns, and includes Marian hymns such as Immaculate Mary, Hail Holy Queen Enthroned Above, Hail Queen of Heav'n, Salve Regina, Ave Maria, and other classics such as Holy God We Praise Thy Name, Faith of Our Fathers, etc.

 

We are familiar with several chant Masses, including Mass of the Angels, Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mass XVII, and Mass XI. We also have a three-part Mass, Missa Caritas by William Marsh, in our repertoire, which is sung for special liturgical seasons. We are working on adding the Byrd Mass for Three Voices to our repertoire as well.

 

We have a schola that is in charge of a cappella plainchants for the Propers, which includes the Sequences on special feast days. All members of the choir participate in chanting or singing the Ordinary of the Mass.

 

We are always learning new hymns to different saints and for special feast days, and are constantly expanding our repertoire of 3- and 4-part Communion hymns.

 

During the Mass, we often sing both a cappella and with organ accompaniment. Unison hymns are usually sung with the organ, and we have hymnals for the congregation to use during Mass for those hymns as well.
