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.
