In England and Wales it is traditionally permitted that one Mass on this day may be a Requiem for Remembrance Sunday. The Mass is the Anniversary Mass. This Mass is unusual that it is permitted on a Sunday and is a Sunday Mass without Creed.

ORDINARY

Missa Pro defunctis a 4 (Tomás Luis de Victoria)

MUSIC

Music for today from GABC Propers tool.

EXTRA MUSIC

There will probably be no time to sing the additional verses at the Offertory as the Polyphony is longer than the chant.

Communion Congregati sunt Deus, this Responsory is found in the section of hymns at the back of the Antiphonale. It is also found on the Cantus database, where it is also used on the Feast of St. Martha

After Mass we had the Last post and reveille, followed by the National Anthem.
