Music Notes:


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper): Laetabimur in salutari tuo: et in nomine Domini Dei nostri magnificabimur (We shall rejoice in your salvation; and in the name of the Lord our God shall we place our pride).


Henry Purcell (c1659-1695) was born in London England, the son of a court musician. In his youth he was a Chapel Royal chorister, and later holder of continuing royal appointments until his early death, while also working as organist (1679-) at Westminster Abbey. He wrote music for dramas, chamber instruments, and voice.


"I Will Love Thee, O Lord" is one of several anthems written for his friend, the bass John Gostling (1644-1733). It is the Responsorial Psalm for today set to the Book Of Common Prayer translation (Psalm 18: 1-6,16-18) and uses the word "prevented" (pre-venire) in its old sense ("came before"): (SOLO) I will love thee O Lord, my strength; / the Lord is my stony rock, and my defence: / my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, / my buckler, the horn also of my salvation and my refuge. / I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy, is worthy to be prais'd: / so shall I be safe from mine enemies. (CHOIR) They prevented me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my upholder. (SOLO) The sorrows of death compassed me, and the overflowings of the ungodly made me afraid. / The pains of hell came about me: and the snares of death over took me. / In my trouble I will call, will call upon the Lord: and complain unto my God. / So shall he hear my voice out of his holy temple: and my complaint shall come before / him, it shall enter ev'n into his ears. For he shall send down from on high / to fetch me, and shall take me out of many waters. / He shall deliver me from my strongest enemies, and from them which hate me: for / they are too mighty for me. / (CHOIR) They prevented me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my upholder.
