is led by the School Choir (Rebecca Monson, director).


Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum) (Ps 118:4,5)
(Ps 118:4,5) Tu mandasti mandata tua custodiri nimis; utinam
dirigantur viae meae, ad custodiendas iustificationes tuas
(You have ordered that your commandments be kept diligently;
O that my ways may be guided towards the keeping of your statutes).


In Paris France at L'eglise Sainte-Marie-Madeleine (the church
of Saint Mary Magdalene), the organists of the Great Organ
(located on the west wall) were distinct from organists of the
Choir Organ (located near the sanctuary). Among the former were
Fernand de la Tombelle (assistant to Theodore Dubois) and Gabriel
Faure (assistant to Camille Saint-Saens).


Fernand de la Tombelle (1854-1928) first studied music with his
mother, who was a pupil of Liszt and Thalberg. Later he studied
organ with Guilmant and composition with Theodore Dubois at the
Paris Conservatory.


Gabriel Faure (1845-1924) studied in Paris at Ecole Niedermeyer
(a school which prepared church organists and choir directors).
Cantique de Jean Racine (Opus 11)(1864-65) won first prize when he
graduated; first performed in 1866; published c1875-76. The text,
"Verbe égal au Trés-Haut", is a paraphrase by Jean Racine (Hymnes
traduites du Bréviaire romain, 1688) of the pseudo-ambrosian hymn
for Tuesday matins, Consors paterni luminis.
