Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum)
(Lk 11:9,10; cf Mt 7:7,8; Mt 10:1) Petite, et accipietis;
quaerite, et invenietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis;
omnis enim qui petit, accipit; et qui quaerit, invenit;
pulsanti aperietur, alleluia.


Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725), born in Sicily, was a
prolific opera composer, and father of several children
including the keyboard composer Domenico. Alessandro divided
his career between the Neapolitan court, and Santa Maria Maggiore
in Rome where he wrote many oratorios as well as a cappella motets
in the old style, such as his setting of The Offertory Antiphon
(Graduale Romanum Chant Proper) (Psalm 29:2,3) Exaltabo te Domine,
quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me;
Domine clamavi ad te, et sanasti me (I will extol you, O Lord,
for you have drawn me up, and have not allowed my enemies to
rejoice over me; O Lord, I called out unto you, and you healed me).


Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726) born in Prato Tuscany Italy,
studied in Florence (with cathedral music director) and Naples
(with Allesandro Scarlatti) and Bologna (with Lavinio Vannucci)
and Rome (with Bernardo Pasquini); became a Jesuit novice (1716);
went to Seville Spain to await passage to Argentina (1717, Buenos
Aires and Cordoba); continued his musical activities while completing
his philosophical and theological studies; died (January) of
tuberculosis before ordination. Old World works include oratorios
(only libretti survive), pieces for harpsichord and organ (published
1716); New World works include masses and motets, which have been found
in missions in Argentina, Bolivia, Peru.

(Unto you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul; O my God,
I trust in you, let me not be put to shame; do not allow my
enemies to laugh at me; for none of those who are awaiting
you will be disappointed.)


Communion (Graduale Romanum Chant) (Ps 83:4,5):
Passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum, ubi
reponat pullos suos; altaria tua Domine virtutum, Rex meus,
et Deus meus; beati qui habitant in domo tua, in saeculum
saeculi laudabunt te (The sparrow has found herself a home,
and the turtledove a nest in which to lay her young; at your
altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God! Blessed are they
who dwell in your house, they shall praise you for ever and ever).

Sir Arthur Seymour Sullivan MVO (1842–1900) was an English
composer, of Irish and Italian descent, best known for his
operatic collaborations with librettist W S Gilbert. However,
from 1854 to 1857 he was a Chapel Royal chorister (in 1857 he
harmonized four stately plain-song melodies). He studied in Leipzig
then returned to London and was church organist at two churches
(1861-1869 St Michael's Chester Square Pimlico; 1867-1872 St Peter's
Cranley Gardens Kensington) during which he composed 50+ hymn tunes
(including Onward Christian Soldiers (1871)) and other church music.
His anthem "O taste and see how gracious the Lord is (1867)"
sets Psalm 34:8,9,10,11 for choir (SATB) and organ.

James Bremner (17__-1780) was a Philadelphia musician who taught
New Jersey Declaration of Independence signer Francis Hopkinson.

William Selby (1738-1798) was a Boston organist before and after
the Revolutionary War, during which he was a shopkeeper.
