Music Notes:


This weekend the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ
supersedes the Sunday Vigil/Day of Ordinary Time (Week 10).


Charles Callahan (1951-), born in Cambridge MA, is a graduate
of the Curtis Institute (Philadelphia) and Catholic University of
America. Former faculty member Middlebury College, Catholic
University, Rollins College. Director (2005-) of Vermont Conservatory
of Music. Prolific composer, author of two books on American organ
building, active as an organ consultant, recitalist, recording artist,
workshop leader throughout USA and Europe. A poetic translation of
"Adoro te devote" can be found in the Hymnal # 850.


Jean Titelouze (1563-1633) at a young age became organist at the
cathedral in Rouen, France, and remained there the rest of his life.
His surviving published (1623) music for organ: versets on twelve hymns,
and eight settings of the Magnificat, one for each mode.
In "Pange lingua (v3)" the tune is played slowly by the feet on the pedals,
while the hands weave harmonies above it on the manuals.
