Music Notes:


This weekend the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ
supersedes the Sunday Vigil/Day of Ordinary Time (Week 11).


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
Qui manducat carnem meam, et bibit sanguinem meum,
in me manet, et ego in eo, dicit Dominus (He who eats
my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him,
says the Lord).


The Sequence text "Lauda Sion" was written by Saint Thomas
Aquinas (1225-1274). It summons all to endless praise of the
Blessed Sacrament (lines 1-15); assigns the reason for the
commemoration of its institution (lines 16-30); gives in
detail the Catholic doctrine of the Sacrament (lines 31-62);
shows the fulfillment of ancient types (lines 63-70); prays the
Good Shepherd to feed and guard us here and make us sharers of
the Heavenly Table hereafter (lines 71-80). The chant melody is
heard in the Prelude by Alexandre Guilmant (1837-1911) for the
text (Ecce panis angelorum / Factus cibus viatorum / Vere panis
filiorum / Non mittendus canibus (Behold this bread of Angels /
which hath become food for us on our pilgrimage / it is truly the
bread of God's children / let it never be thrown to dogs)).
The Offertory sung by the choir presents a portion of the text
as set by Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707).
