Music Notes:


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper)
(Ps 70: 16-18) Domine, memorabor iustitiae tuae solius;
Deus, docuisti me a iuventute mea, et usque in senectam
et senium, Deus, ne derelinquas me (O Lord, be mindful of
your justice alone; you have taught me, O God, from my youth;
and so, unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not).


Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), child prodigy, taught
by father Leopold (musician and composer at Salzburg court of
Prince-Archbishop Sigismund von Schrattenbach). Toured Austria,
Germany, France, England, Holland, Italy; later worked in Salzburg
court; went to Vienna (1781), worked as teacher, pianist, concert
promoter, composer. Wrote 600+ works (symphonies, oratorios, operas,
concertos, sonatas, chamber music, keyboard music, sacred music).
His Requiem (KV 626) was unfinished at his death. Its Sequence
"Dies Irae" manuscripts are fragmentary; in his handwriting are:
soprano, alto, tenor, bass, organ, bass and various string passages.
Within 100 days of his death, the fragments of this and all other
movements were enhanced and completed by Franz Xaver Sussmayr (1766-1803).
The (section five) text: Confutatis maledictis, Flammis acribus
addictis: Voca me cum benedictis. Oro supplex et acclinis,
Cor contritum quasi cinis: Gere curam mei finis (When the accused
are confounded, and doomed to flames of woe, call me among the
blessed. I kneel with submissive heart, my contrition is like ashes,
help me in my final condition).
