Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
The Assumption (with the accompanying image of the Coronation of the Virgin) is a glorious feast, the logical fulfillment of Mary's immaculate conception. Mary's life in heaven is a foretaste of our life after death, if we but persevere and remain faithful to God's will. Reflect the sunny atmosphere of summer in the music for this solemnity. A brilliant toccata is a perfect close to the liturgy.
