## Haec Dies

This piece is sort of the responsorial psalm equivalent for the Old Latin Mass for Easter Week.

It's the first really melismatic piece I ever learned - so proud :) The tricky bit is not running out of breath for that last syllable.

## Veni Creator Spiritus

This is the Hymn for the Holy Spirit - in case of Confirmations, or just because we need the Holy Spirit All The Time!

## Regina Caeli

The Easter Marian Antiphon - there are 4 special chant antiphons to Mary for different parts of the Church's year.
