Sunday’s Music
Sunday, September 29
Robert J. Powell, the composer of our Opening Organ Voluntary, was for many years the Organist & Choirmaster of Christ Church, Greenville, SC; Powell also composed the setting of Gloria in excelsis and Sanctus that we’re currently singing, as have thousands of other churches over the decades since he composed them for The Hymnal 1982. Another composer and consultant in the compilation of our hymnal was Richard Proulx, who penned both our Offertory Anthem and Closing Organ Voluntary. Proulx was long associated with Holy Name Cathedral (RC) in Chicago.
