Sunday Worship: Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi

Series 1, episode 0

Cardinal Vincent Nichols celebrates Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi live from Westminster Cathedral. There will be no congregation present, apart from concelebrant (Fr Daniel Humphreys) and a single reader. The music for the mass will be played from recordings from a BBC studio so listeners will be able to experience the music of the Mass in context. The Gloria, Sanctus and Benedictus will be sung to a setting Ave Regina Caelorum by Victoria, recorded in 2004 by the Choir of Westminster Cathedral. The communion anthem - Byrd's Ave verum corpus - will again be a recording from the choir's extensive discography. The readings for the day are Deuteronomy v8, vv2-3,14-16 and John v6, vv51-58
