Mozart's Coronation Mass at University Church, Sunday 20th May 2007 @ 11am, Mass of the Ascension of Our Lord


As part of the University College Dublin (UCD) "Farewell to the Terrace" celebrations, a commemorative liturgy has been arranged at the University Church, St Stephen’s Green.

Date: 20th May, 2007
Time: 11.00am
Venue: University Church, St. Stephen's Green

How to get there:

This commemorative liturgy willbe incorporated into the usual Sunday Mass with next Sunday being the Solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord (transferred from Thursday, 17th May, to the Sunday).

The Mass Proper will be taken from Mozart's Coronation Mass. Click here to listen to a sample of the Mass Propers which will be sung next Sunday.

Unfortunately, I was not able to find better links for the sample music,but if anyone can provide me with them, I will post it up here, for the benefit of those who are not able to attend.

Personally, I am very excited about this event, and would like to invite all Classical music lovers and Catholics to attend this mass. See you there...

You might not like it.

We'll see.

I didn't, the first time I encountered an orchestral Mass.

i liked it... but some times it was a tid bit draggy....especially the agnus dei, at the end when they repeated dona nobis pacem for like3 minutes... and also the final hymn was the te deum, and they drags the last line for 5 minutes.... hahaha but other than that, it was very nice...the mass was celebrate very reverently by Fr Walsh... with minor liturgical offences... he has been by far the priest i have met here who commits the least abuses in a mass.... vey reverently, very slow, but very punctual... very good..
