Angela Sones, our new Director of Music, writes:

I am really looking forward to my first Mass as I take up the position of Organist and Director of Music at 7.30pm today, at St. Alban the Martyr, Highgate, Birmingham. I shall be conducting most of the service and it is an absolute pleasure to welcome former Organist and Director of Music, Aled Liddington back to the organ bench and Kev as Thurifer!

Do come along, especially if you haven't yet experienced the Anglo Catholic Mass in its traditional form at St Albans, with all the bells and smells in the sheer beauty of this Pearson Church with its very fine organ and superb acoustic, hailed by Sir David Willcocks as 'the second best acoustic in the country'.

Mass setting: Ireland in C

Hymns: 

Hail the day that sees him rise Alleluya!

God everlasting, wonderful and holy (communion),

The head that once was crowned with thorns

Anthem: Lift up your heads - Coleridge-Taylor (offertory)

Voluntary: Heut' Triumphieret Gottes Sohn BWV630 - J.S. Bach
