[Magdalen] Solemn Palm Sunday?

[cantor03 at aol.com]

The Latin Riters for whom I sang for about 25 years can't have
the congregation shouting the crucifixion responses, even in Latin.
Therefore the choir must sing choral polyphonic responses.  Their
favorite in the local parish was the one by Byrd, the English
composer at the time of Elizabeth I.  It was a positive nightmare
because it was so difficult.  The choir spent an inordinate amount
of time rehearsing it, so it was well done.  Usually by the 
conclusion, I was a mental wreck.  I guess that's appropriate for
the season.

I look forward to shouting “Crucify him! Crucify him!”
It’s deeply cathartic, guaranteed to jump-start the period of
self-reflection that is the Holy Week journey for me.

We are also blessed with a great cloud of wonderful readers.
And the rector has the good sense to unleash them.
He takes no part whatsoever, just responds with the crowd.
