Music Notes:


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant):
De fructu operum tuorem, Domine, satiabitur terra:
ut educas panem de terra, et vinum laetificet cor hominis:
ut exhilaret faciem in oleo, et panis cor hominis confirmet
(The earth will be satisfied by the work of your hands, O Lord,
as you bring forth bread from the land
and wine to gladden the heart of man; oil to make his face shine,
and bread to strengthen man's heart).


Thomas Adams (1785-1858) was born in London England, studied
under Thomas Busby, and served as organist at several prominent
London churches [1802 Carlisle Chapel Lambeth, 1814 St Paul Deptford,
1824-58 St George Camberwell, 1833-58 St Dunstan-in-the-West
Fleet Street]. His published organ works include many fugues,
voluntaries, interludes, variations on popular airs [Six Fugues for
the Organ or Piano Forte (1820), Six Organ Pieces (1825)]. He also
wrote variations for piano, anthems, hymns, sacred songs.
He was known for his improvisation skill, and for years was in
charge of performances on the Apollonicon (a 45-stop pipe organ,
playable either by machinery or from several five-manual-and-pedal
consoles, built 1812-17 by Flight and Robson, housed at the Adelaide
Gallery).
