The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant:
Aufer a me opprobrium et contemptum, quia mandata tua
exquisivi, Domine: nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est)
translated: (Remove from me all scorn and contempt,
for I have kept your commandments; for your law is the
object of my meditations).


William Selby (1738-1798) emigrated from England to
Newport RI (1771/4?), went to Boston MA (1776/7?),
became organist at present-day King's Chapel and composed
music, became a storekeeper during the Revolutionary War,
resumed organist duties (1783), became active as impressario
and teacher. Among his achievements is one of the first
Sacred Concerts ever to be given in Boston.
