A couple of notes about singing the Attende Domine. (Music courtesy of the Parish Book of Chant – Edition II out now!) WATCH OUT FOR ACCENTS. When you speak the text, you naturally lean on the accented syllables. This same rule should apply when you are singing the notes too. A great example is Mi – se – ré – re. Don’t shortened the accented syllable. Another syllable that often gets shorted is the opening syllable – the A of Attende. Give it its length. Same goes for ‘et’.
This really is the perfect Lenten hymn. We are pleading to the Lord, to Christ the redeemer, to listen to us, to hear our prayers and have mercy on us.
In our parish we are singing this hymn every Sunday during Lent until Passiontide when we sing the Office hymn the Vexilla Regis.

Nice work on the clip, Clare. Kudos.
Thank Candy. She’s the driving force between this…. (as always!)
