Music Notes:


This weekend the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed (All Souls) supersedes the Sunday Vigil/Day of Ordinary Time Week 31. At the Sunday 11 am Mass, we present Requiem (opus 45) (1887) by Gabriel Faure (1845-1924); our guest musicians come from across the greater Bay Area.


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper): Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es (May eternal light shine upon them, O Lord, in the company of your saints for eternity, for you are full of goodness).


Charles Callahan (1951-), born in Cambridge MA, is a graduate of the Curtis Institute (Philadelphia) and Catholic University of America; former faculty member of Middlebury College, Catholic University, Rollins College; Director (2005-) of Vermont Conservatory of Music. Prolific composer, active as an organ consultant, recitalist, recording artist, workshop leader throughout USA and Europe.


Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine; et lux perpetua luceat eis. Te decet hymnus, Deus in Sion; et bibi reddetur votum in Ierusalm (Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them. It is fitting, O God, to sing a hymn unto you on Mount Zion; and our vows shall be carried out for you in Jerusalem).


In paradisum deducant te angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem (May the angels lead you into paradise; may the martyrs receive you and lead you into the holy city of Jerusalem).





P.S. Very early Sunday morning at 2:00 am you must change your clocks
to read 1:00 am (yes, "fall back"). Use the extra hour wisely, such as
replacing smoke detector batteries, and unwrapping new toothbrushes.
