Music Notes:


This weekend the Solemnity of Corpus Christi
supercedes the Sunday Vigil/Day of Ordinary Time (Week 11).


Franz Schubert (1797-1828) composed "Deutsche Messe (D 872)"
in 1826 and Richard Proulx adapted its music to English Mass texts
in 1985.


We have used this Mass Setting throughout the Easter Season
(and last weekend and this weekend because of their special
character); next weekend we will begin using Mass of the Angels
and Saints by Steven R Janco (Hymnal 135-136, 140-141-145-146).


Charles Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) had piano lessons with
Stamaty (1842) and Boely; entered Conservatoire (1848) and studied
with Halevy; his dazzling gifts early won him the admiration of Gounod,
Rossini, Berlioz, Liszt. Organist (1857-75) at the Madeleine; teacher
(1861-5) at the Ecole Niedermeyer. Organized concerts, revived interest
in older music (Bach, Handel, Rameau), wrote on topics (musical,
scientific, historical), traveled often and widely (Europe, North
Africa, South America), co-founded (1871) Societe Nationale de Musique.
Wrote sonatas, chamber music, symphonies, concertos, symphonic poems,
operas, choral works, organ pieces.
