What fun! Thanks for the chance to participate! Happy Easter, Day 2!
Great fun!
Technical question: why didn’t the Easter Sequence make the cut? It’s not Gregorian? (Serious question from a noob.)
Honestly no real reason. We had to leave a few good ones out, including the Easter Sequence.
I want to write in the Easter Sequence, please.
It would help to have an audio link for each entry. I’m ashamed to admit it but I don’t know all the chants included!
I have a question about the exact format of the shorter version of the sequence for Corpus Christi. I have written a chant, but I am not sure I have divided the last lines with 5 parts correctly. Can you advise me? I could send you what I have written.
Thank you.
