006 Parts of the Mass (Gloria in excelcast)
David and Ian take a look at the five Ordinary parts of the Holy Eucharist: 1) Kyrie (“Lord have mercy”), 2) Gloria in excelsis (“Glory to God in the highest”), 3) Credo (The Nicene Creed; “I believe in God”), 4) Sanctus (“Holy, holy, holy Lord”) and Benedictus qui venit (“Blessed is he”), 5) Agnus Dei (or “Pod-nus Dei” if you prefer). Also Fraction Anthems, and...eventually...the Trisagion. Show notes: http://www.riteandmusical.org/2017/10/006-parts-of-mass-gloria-in-excelcast.html
