Music Notes:


The Offertory Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper)
(Ps 136:1) Super flumina Babylonis, illic sedimus, et flevimus,
dum recordaremur tui, Sion (Upon the rivers of Babylon, there
we sat down and we wept, as we remembered you, O Zion).


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper)
(Ps 118:49,50) Memento verbi tui servo tuo, Domine in quo
mihi spem dedisti: haec me consolata est in humilitate mea
(Be mindful of your word to your servant, O Lord, in which
you caused me to hope; this has been my comfort in my affliction).


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 first 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.


Henry Thomas Smart (1813-1879) born in London England,
son of Henry Smart (music publisher, orchestra director,
violinist) and nephew of Sir George Thomas Smart (conductor,
St George Windsor organist).


Thomas Adams (1785-1858) was born in London England, studied
under Thomas Busby, and served as organist at several prominent
London churches.
