It is taken from, and can be read in full at,
Missa Cantata
In Honour Of The Holy Abbots.
This Feast is particularly Benedictine.
The Texts of The Mass, and The Musical Setting,
exist only for this Mass.
We do not know the last time that this Mass was Sung.
But, it is our privilege to be able to Celebrate it again.
Saturday, 7 December 2019, saw the Celebration
of a very particular Mass in The Shrine at Glastonbury.
It was in honour of The Benedictine Abbots,
Richard Whiting, Hugh Faringdon, John Beche,
together with the four Benedictine Martyrs,
including two from our own Monastery at Glastonbury,
Richard James and John Thorne.
