Music Notes:
Through the Summer months we will begin singing Mass of the Angels
and Saints by Steven R Janco.
During July and August at the 5 pm Vigil and 8:30 am Sunday Masses,
our Cantors (Betty DeOrian, Chang "Robin" Lee) continue to lead the music.
At the 11 am Mass, the Choir is officially "on holiday", but members are
still present as their vacation plans permit!
William Selby (1738-1798) emigrated from England to Newport RI
(1771/4?), went to Boston MA (1776/7?), became organist at present-day
King's Chapel and composed music, became a storekeeper during the
Revolutionary War, resumed organist duties (1783), became active as
impressario and teacher. "Ode to Independence" by Thomas Dawes
(1757-1825) was set to music by Selby and performed (1787) at the
Chapel "by a select company of singers". Among his achievements is
one of the first Sacred Concerts ever to be given in Boston.
