YE GATES, LIFT UP YOUR HEADS

Newly added to the Christus Vincit Gradual!  Text is from Psalm 24:7-10 and taken from The Psalter of 1912.  While the first verse constitutes the Proper Offertory for the Vigil Mass of Christmas, the text is also suitable for feasts like the Presentation of the Lord and other days where the last verses of Psalm 24 might come into play.  Like New 25th and New 30th, I named the original tune New 24th and set it in the joyful key of G major, after all, it is for joyful feasts.
