Well, it has been two months now since the start of the new English translation for Mass. Parish-wide at St. Louis we have started with Randall DeBruyn's Mass of the Resurrection as our first Mass Setting of the new translation for the Sanctus, Memorial Acclamation (When we eat this bread), and Amen. During the Christmas Season, we sang Daniel Laginya's revised setting of his Christmas Gloria which uses the Gloria in excelsis Deo refrain most commonly sung in Angels We Have Heard on High. With the Christmas Season now behind us, we introduced the Gloria from the Mass of the Resurrection last weekend at the 9:30am Mass (Youth Band) and 11:15am Mass (St. Louis Choir). The rest of the Masses will follow between now and the beginning of Lent. The Gloria is first on the video below. Our church space and acoustic at St. Louis will allow us to move the tempo a bit faster than on this recording, but the Youtube clip does give a good idea of the music.
