Music Notes:


The Offertory Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper)
(Ps 17: 28, 32): Populum humilem salvum facies, Domine,
et oculos superborum humiliabis; quoniam quis Deus praeter
te, Domine? (You will save the humble nation, O Lord, and
bring down the eyes of the proud; For who is God, other
than you, O Lord?) as set by Roland de Lassus (c1530-1594),
born in Mons Belgium, worked for several patrons from age
eight, giving rise to the legend that he was three times
abducted for his beautiful voice. In Italy he adopted the
name by which he is best known, Orlando di Lasso, and obtained
his fist post as choirmaster at St John Lateran Rome. The bulk
of his career was spent in Munich (1556/7-, 1560- head of chapel)
in service of Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria.


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper)
(Ps 33:9): Gustate et videte, quoniam suavis est Dominus;
beatus vir, qui sperat in eo (O taste and see how gracious
the Lord is; blessed is the man who trusts in him).


The Mass Ordinary for the Summer (Hymnal 172-175-177)
was used at the Christ The Light Cathedral Dedication Mass
in Sep 2008; it was composed by Richard Proulx (1937-), a
prolific American composer and editor of church music, who
was long associated with Holy Name Cathedral (Chicago).


This is the weekend after First Friday and our Sunday 11 am
Mass Ordinary setting is chant (Missa VIII (de angelis)).
