Music Notes:


Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726) born in Prato Tuscany Italy,
studied in Florence (with cathedral music director) and Naples
(with Allesandro Scarlatti) and Bologna (with Lavinio Vannucci)
and Rome (with Bernardo Pasquini); became a Jesuit novice (1716);
went to Seville Spain to await passage to Argentina (1717, Buenos
Aires and Cordoba); continued his musical activities while
completing his philosophical and theological studies; died (January)
of tuberculosis before ordination. Old World works include oratorios
(only libretti survive), pieces for harpsichord and organ (published
1716); New World works include masses and motets, which have been
found in missions in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru.


"Pastorale" has two rustic shepherd's pipe tunes separated by a dance
tune carried on the wind from a village to the grazing field.


"All' Elevazione II" is the second of two gentle meditations intended for
use during the Eucharistic Prayer.


"All' Offertorio" is quite
exuberant and less easily imagined accompanying the liturgical action
of the 18c Tridentine Latin Mass.

of the form, and was often imitated by his contemporaries.
Some phrases of the pieces are marked "eccho" and therefore
Swell manual and Antiphonal manual organ stops will be heard
in alternation, supported by organ stops from the Great manual.

Music Notes:


John Stanley (1713-1786), born in London, wrote much music,
including three sets of Ten Voluntaries which, when published,
made him the most influential composer of the form, and the
format was often imitated by his contemporaries.


His "Voluntary Set One Number One (1745)" is in four sections
and provides tempos and registrations: (1) Adagio [diapasons],
(2) Andante [trumpet], (3) Lento [swell], (4) Allegro [flute];
in the second and fourth he also indicated that some phrases
were to be "eccho" and therefore both gallery and antiphonal
organ stops will be heard in alternation.

Liturgical Notes:


General Instruction of the Roman Missal (2003 GIRM # 45):
"Even before the celebration itself, it is commendable that
silence be observed in the church, in the sacristy, in the
vesting room, and in adjacent areas, so that all may dispose
themselves to carry out the sacred action in a devout and
fitting manner.”


Thank you for helping fellow parishioners to honor this rubric.
