Music Notes:
Happy Liturgical New Year to all! The New Church Year begins this weekend, and for the next twelve months our Scripture texts will be found in the Hymnals under the headings "Sunday B" and "Weekday 1". We begin the ninth year of use of the Catholic Community Hymnal (blessed and distributed Dec 2000). During the Advent Season, our Introductory Rite is noticeably more penitential: the Kyrie becomes more prominent as we set aside the Gloria except for feast days (Dec 8 Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, Dec 12 Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe).
The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper): Dominus dabit benignitatem; et terra nostra dabit fructum suum (The Lord will bestow his loving kindness; and our land will yield its fruit).
Marcel Dupre (1886-1971) spent much of his life at the Paris Conservatoire: as student (1902-14) under Guilmant, Vierne, Widor; as Professor of organ (1926-54); as Director (1954-56). He was also at St Sulpice: as assistant organist (1906-34) to C M Widor, then titulaire (1934-71). "Conditor alme siderum" is the first of his "Sixteen Chorales" (1942, opus 38). "Reveillez-vous, la voix des veillerus" is one of his "Seventy-nine Chorales" (1931, opus 28) which were composed during the Summer months and dedicated to banker Gustave Ogier, who was an aspiring organist. This tune is known in German as "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme" and in English as "Sleepers wake".
