Music Notes:


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper)
(Ps 50:21): Acceptabis sacrificium iustitiae, oblationes
et holocausta, super altare tuum, Domine (You will accept a
sacrifice of righteousness, oblations and burnt offerings,
placed on your altar, O Lord).


Virgil Thomson (1896-1989) born in Kansas City MO,
attended Harvard University, went to Paris and studied
with Nadia Boulanger, authored "The State of Music (1939)",
New York Herald-Tribune music critic (1940-54), was
instrumental in the development of the "American Sound"
in classical music so often associated with the patriotic
compositions of Aaron Copland. His research into Southeastern
USA shape note tunes, folk hymns, white spirituals, led to
his arrangement of "My Shepherd will supply my need" (text
by Isaac Watts (1674-1748), hymn tune RESIGNATION from
"The Southern Harmony (1835)"). It was incorporated into his
film score for a Department of Agriculture Resettlement
Administration documentary about the Mississippi River Valley
"The River (1937)" which is freely viewable online (duration 31:10)
