Subject: Music for Papal Mass

Hi, …

  • Once again Anne Marie and I are practising in the Diocesan Choir in preparation for the forthcoming Papal Visit. The music has been written by James McMillan, a Scottish Composer and Musical Director.
  • The music was very difficult to learn but now that we have become familiar with it is very good. But unfortunately it will not be as easy to learn as the present Bellahouston Mass.
  • I will send you a copy of the music and a disk recording so that you can teach the new Mass setting to the community, and "Susan Boyle" your new choir member.
  • We have just come home after singing at First Vespers of the Sacred Heart to mark the end of the Year of the Priests which was celebrated with Bishop Philip of Paisley.

Kind regards
Andy
