Music Notes:


Through the Summer months we will be singing Mass of the
Angels and Saints by Steven R Janco.


During July, music leadership at Mass: Saturday Vigil 5 pm
(cantor Betty DeOrian), Sunday 8:30 am (cantor Chang "Robin" Lee),
Sunday 11 am (choir members, as their vacation plans permit).


Maurice Greene (1695-1755) born in London, was a chorister
at St Paul Cathedral; took organ lessons (1710) and became
organist at St Dunstan in the West (1716) then at St Andrew
(1717); appointed Master of the King's Band (1718); published
40 anthems (1743); inherited a large estate (1750) which
enabled him to work on a collection of Cathedral music with
publication in mind but it was left incomplete and finished
by William Boyce (c1710-1779). His "Twelve Voluntaries" were
published posthumously (1799-80) by John Bland. Each of these
twelve voluntaries is in two complementary sections (a slower
section followed by a faster section): Number One (Andante-Vivace),
Number Two (Largo-Andante), Number Three (Largo-Andante).
