The Oratorian Style

There was a very beautiful Mass in St Wilfrid's Church in York for the feast of Pentecost. The Solemn Mass was celebrated by the parish priest, Fr Richard Duffield, with Fr Nicholas Edmunds-Smith as deacon and Fr Stephen Brown as sub-deacon. The musical setting was Palistrina's Missa Brevis, wonderfully sung by the Rudgate Singers. The congregation was also the largest that I have seen at the 5pm traditional Mass since it started following the arrival of the Oratorians in York. It was the most impressive Mass that I have attended for a long while, and maybe an indicator of how liturgy will develop in York under the Oratorians.

We must give credit where it's due here! Although most of the singers present last Sunday have been involved with the Rudgates, significantly, the bulk of the polyphonic choir belong to the chamber choir of Vanbrugh College, part of the University of York.

We hope they come and sing at St. Wilfrid's again, soon - and often!
