Music Notes:
The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
(Mt 5:8,9,10) Beati mundo corde, quoniam ipsi Deum videbunt;
beati pacifici, quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur; beati qui
persecutionem patiuntur propter iustitiam, quoniam ipsorum est
regnum caelorum (Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall
see God; blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called
sons of God; blessed are those who suffer persecution for the
sake of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven).
Tomas Luis de Victoria (1548-1611) was born in Sanchidrian (Avila)
Spain. Around 1564 he went to Rome, where he joined the monastery
founded by St Ignatius Loyola as part of the fight against Lutheranism.
He may have studied with Palestrina around this time. In 1575 he was
ordained as a priest, after a period of service at the monastery as
maestro di cappella. In 1586 he returned to Spain, this time in the
service of the Dowager Empress Maria, who was entering the convent of
Descalzas Reales in Madrid. Victoria remained at the convent until
the end of his life, performing several roles: priest, composer, choir
director, organist.
"O quam gloriosum", found in his first book of motets (1572),
is composed for the Feast of All Saints (O how fair and glorious
is that kingdom, wherein the saints dwell, joyful in their Lord
and Savior, all clothed in shining raiment, following after the Lamb,
wherever he shall lead).
