Music Notes:


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
(Is 7:14) Ecce virgo concipiet, et patrist filium: et vocabitur nomen
eius Emmanuel (Behold, a Virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and his name shall be called Emmanuel).


Otto Malling (1848-1915), a younger child of a banker (credit union
director), 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 (Annunciation) and Postlude
(Mary visits Elizabeth and praises God) are the first two of six movements
from Jomfru Maria (The Virgin Mary)(Opus 70)(1899).


On Christmas Eve starting at 11:30 pm, as a prelude to the Midnight Mass,
the Parish Choir will be accompanied by a chamber ensemble. Christmas Carols
will be included, as well as sung during Masses throughout the Christmas Season
(continues through Sun Jan 10 Baptism Of The Lord).
