Music Notes:


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
(Luke 2:48,49) Fili, quid fecisti nobis sic? ego et pater tuus
dolentes quaerebamus te. Et quid est quod me quaerebatis? Nesciebatis
quia hi his quae Patris mei sunt, oportet me esse? (My son, why have
you treated us so? Your father and I have been anxiously looking
for you. How is it that you were seeking me? Did you not know that
I must be about my Father's business?).


Otto Malling (1848-1915), was born in Copenhagen Denmark, where he
remained throughout his life. Associated with: Copenhagen Music
Conservatory (student 1869-71, teacher 1885-, professor 1889-,
director 1899-); Choral Society (1871-84); Concertforeningen (1874-93).
Organist: Sankt Petri Kirke (1878-); Helligaandskirken (1891-);
Vor Frue Kirke Domkirke (1900-). He wrote an orchestration textbook
(1894/7?), and composed many arch-Romantic programmatic pieces, in a
harmonic idiom dominated by French Romanticism, for: organ, voice,
chorus, orchestra, chamber instruments.


The Prelude [Jesus fremstilles i Templet, hvor Simeon og Anna tale
om ham (Jesus in the Temple where Simeon and Anna talk about him)]
and Postlude [Maria finder Jesus blandt Laererne i Templet paa
Paaskehojtiden (Mary finds Jesus among the teachers in the Temple at
Passover)] are the fourth and fifth of six movements from Jomfru Maria
(The Virgin Mary) (Opus 70) (1899). These are "Stemningsbilleder"
("mood-pictures") attempting to depict New Testament Gospel passages,
samples of a high point in Danish Romantic-era sacred music.
