Music Notes:


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) (Ps 24:1-3) Ad te Domine levavi animam meam;
Deus meus, in te confido, non erumscam; neque irrideant me inimici mei;
etenim universi qui te expectant, non confundentur.
(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).


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.
