Music Notes:


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant):
Domine, memorabor iustitiae
tuae solius: Deus, docuisti me a iuventute mea, et usque
in senectam et senium, Deus, ne derelinquas me
(O Lord, I will be mindful of your justice alone; You have
taught me, O God, from my youth; and so, unto old age and
grey hairs, O God, forsake me not).


The Gospel Acclamation is a Scripture text in Messiah (# 21).


Richard H Lloyd (1933-), born near Manchester England,
attended: Lichfield Cathedral (1942-47 chorister), Rugby School
(music scholar), Jesus College Cambridge (organ scholar).
Held posts at: Salisbury Cathedral (assistant organist),
Hereford Cathedral (organist and master of choristers),
Durham Cathedral (1974-85 organist), Salisbury Cathedral (school).
Now divides his time between examining and composing.
The prelude and postlude bear French titles: Avant-propos ("preface")
is a gentle introspective piece; Sortie ("exit, departure") is
confident and march-like with opportunities for melodic
fragments to be played on the gallery Fanfare Trumpet.
