Cesar Franck (1822-1890) was born in Liege Belgium; his father planned him to become a concert pianist and sent him to study at the Liege Conservatory and then 1838-42 at the Paris Conservatory. He returned briefly to Belgium, then lived in Paris as music teacher and organist (1847-51 Notre Dame de Lorette, 1851-58 St Jean-St-Francois, 1858-90 St Clotilde) and organ professor (1872-90 Paris Conservatory). His improvisation skills were highly regarded; he wrote for organ (12 pieces), harmonium (44+59 short pieces among which are today's Prelude and Postlude), symphony, chamber instruments, voice. The Offertory setting is from "Trois offertoires (1871)".


The Offertory Antiphon for Dedication of Lateran (Graduale Romanum) (1 Chron 29:17-18): Domine Deus, in simplicitate cordis mei laetus obtuli universa; et populum tuum, qui repertus est, vidi cum ingenti gaudio; Deus Israel, custodi hanc voluntatem, Domine Deus (O Lord God, in the simplicity of my heart I have joyfully offered all things; and I have beheld with immense joy your people gathered here. God of Israel, preserve this good intention, O Lord God).


The Communion Antiphon for Dedication of Lateran (Graduale Romanum): Jerusalem, quae aedificatur ut civitas, cuius participatio eius in idipsum; illuc enim ascenderunt tribus, tribus Domini, ad confietendum nomini tuo, Domine (Jerusalem, built as a city whose parts are bound firmly together! It is there that the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, to give thanks unto your name, O Lord).
