Liturgical Hints & Ideas

The theme of holiness can be suggested by singing a choral setting of the Sanctus as today's anthem. Choose one that the choir knows and loves, or teach a new one from a Classical Mass setting. Chant settings can also be very effective. See Booklet of Chant, Volume 4 for several options.
