"Music Notes" with Amanda: Paschal Joy through Music

Easter music follows very similar themes: the resurrection, Christ as the Bread of Life, the Paschal Lamb...the list goes on. In today's Gospel we heard Christ remind his disciples not to be frightened of him! He even eats a piece of fish to remind his disciples of his mortality (Luke 25:40-43) In our music this weekend we focus on these Easter themes: "At the Lamb's High Feast we Sing" speaks of the salvation won for us, thanks to his death and resurrection. Our communion hymns ("Eat This Bread" and "I Receive the Living God") use quotes of what Jesus is to us: salva-tion ("Jesus says, I am the bread sent to you from God most high"; "eat this bread and drink this cup and Christ will raise you up on the last day"). The music for this weekend (and upcoming weekends during Easter) center around these themes, and personally, I love each song for this reason. Sometimes it can be tough to see the connec-tion between the weekend's music and the Scriptures, but I find it easier to see during Easter (and I hope you do too)!

The Brass Roots In Concert The Brass Roots, one of Pittsburgh’s most celebrated brass ensembles, is coming to perform at Saint Mary of the Mount Parish! The concert, taking place THIS weekend on Sunday April 15, will feature classical works by J.S. Bach and Claude Debussy as well as contemporary works from Imogen Heap and more. The concert will begin at 3:00 pm. Admission is free and all are welcome. This is an ex-ceptional opportunity to hear such an esteemed group at Saint Mary of the Mount, so please join us!
