Archdiocese of St Andrews & Edinburgh St. Andrew's Church, Ravelston Sung Tridentine Mass, Laetare Sunday, 2008 (Playlist, 5 videos, YouTube)

INTROIT ¤ Isaias 66. 10, 11 [STATION AT THE HOLY CROSS AT JERUSALEM]  Laetare, Jerusalem: conventum facite omnes qui diligitis eam: gaudete cum laetitia, quia in tristitia fuistis: ut exsultetis, et satiemini ab uberibus consolationis vestrae. -- Laetatus sum in his, quae dicta sunt mihi: in domum Domini ibimus. V.: Gloria Patri . . . -- Laetare, Jerusalem . . . Rejoice, O Jerusalem: and come together all you that love her: rejoice with joy, you that have been in sorrow: that you may exult, and be filled from the breasts of your consolation. -- ( Ps. 121. 1). I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: we shall go into the house of the Lord. V.: Glory to the Father . . . -- Rejoice, O Jerusalem . . .       Fourth Sunday of Lent, "Laetare"

Note: As the Triduum approaches, I have been getting more requests for items such as "sung Introits ." While I love sacred music and have a passion for listening to it, I am the last person to advise someone on this! I would highly recommend clicking this link to the Church Music Association of America and placing the words "sung Introit" in their search box. I just did so and recovered at least 18 articles on this subject. The Recovering Choir Director and The New Liturgical Movement (two links below) are also THE places to look for items on sacred music! The New Liturgical Movement >> Signs of Further Growth from the Oratory of Ss. Gregory and Augustine, St. Louis The New Liturgical Movement >> Laetare Sunday is a real thing Transalpine Redemptorists at home >> Papa Stronsay Texts

Fr. John Zuhlsdorf has a beautiful commentary on Laetare Sunday that first appeared in his WDTRPS column of The Wanderer . Don't miss it!
