Music Notes:

This is the weekend after First Friday and our Sunday 11 am
Mass Ordinary setting is chant (Missa VIII (de angelis)).

Communion (Graduale Romanum Chant) (Ps 33:9)
Gustate et videte, quoniam suavis est Dominus;
beatus vir, qui sperat in eo (O taste and see how gracious
the Lord is; blessed is the man who trusts in him).

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.
