The Mass Ordinary for the Summer, found in our Hymnals, was used
at the Christ The Light Cathedral Dedication Mass in Sep 2008;
it was composed by Richard Proulx (1937-2010), a prolific American
composer and editor of church music, who was long associated with
Holy Name Cathedral (Chicago).
Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) born in Hamburg Germany, was a child
prodigy with education strictly monitored by his father. String
Octet (1825) and Overture to Midsummer Night's Dream (1826) demonstrated
his brilliance. First to revive interest in J S Bach, directed St Matthew
Passion (Berlin 1829). Visited Scotland (1829); revisited Britain nine
times, toured as conductor, pianist, organist; held celebrity status
(invitations from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert). Conducted Leipzig
Gewandhaus Orchestra (1836-), founded Leipzig Conservatory (1843).
Composed oratorios, symphonies, overtures, operas, concertos, songs,
chamber, piano, organ works.
"Above all praise" is from his Six Anthems (Opus 79).
Three Preludes and Fugues (1837) was written in the space of one week
while not occupied with revivals of music by Bach (1685-1750), Mozart
(1756-1791), Beethoven (1770-1827).
