Mailbag :: Good Friday Reproaches

This is a bit off season, but it’s good to know people are doing the Reproaches and also good to know that people are actually reading our archives!

I came across the bit about the Reproaches for Good Friday. I’m Music Director at Fatima Church in Lafayette, Louisiana. We also sing the Reproaches…in Latin and Greek. The choir can sing the popule meus antiphon in their sleep now, I think. Also, we sing the customary antiphons at the Mandatum for Holy Thursday, as well as the Pange Lingua, ending with the Tantum Ergo for the Transfer of the Blessed Sacrament. Orthodoxy is not dead….everywhere.
