Jackie Parkes sent to the NLM news from the Birmingham Oratory where they observed Remembrance Sunday with a Mass for the Dead in the modern Roman Liturgy -- a custom in the U.K. I am informed.

Music for the Mass included chant and polyphony by Giovanni Francesco Anerio (1567-1630), Palestrina and Beethoven. The following video will give you some sense of the music at the Oratory -- so typical of the English Oratories generally. (Visit Jackie Parkes site for more.)
