Very nice. There are a number of nice settings of the Golden Sequence out there. In Chicago it was a part of the Pentecost Proprium by Jozek Kronsteiner--an Austrian composer. The music was part of a cache of European compositions introduced by Msgr. Meter after the 1950 Holy Year (the first time a lot of new European music had surfaced.) For the real classics there is always the Dunstable. Mozart wrote a setting of the Alleluia Verse for Pentecost. I wanted something more contemporary for my anniversary. We already were doing Mexican Baroque and Gabrieli and the Agnus Dei from the Vierne Mass. I tried to include every group in the Parish. I just realized I didn't include the Filipino. I don't think they came forward when I was asking for suggestions. Our sacred dancers were Puerto Rican assisted by a classical dance troupe that had choreographed.  Jehan Alain's Dances for Organ.
