The Recovering Choir Director

Below are selected audio files from Monday’s Pontifical Requiem Mass in the Extraordinary Form, celebrated by James C. Timlin, Bishop Emeritus of Scranton at Holy Innocents Church in Midtown Manhattan. Photos of this Mass may be found at the Society of St. Hugh of Cluny.

Selections of the Victoria Requiem for Six Voices was led by David Adam Smith; the score from which the choir sang may be found here. The chanting of the Tract Absólve, Dómine, Sequence Dies Irae, and Responsory Libera Me were led by this blogger; notation was taken from this edition [PDF].
