LITURGY OF THE WORD FIRST READING Genesis 12:1-4a The Lord said to Abram: “Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father’s house to a land that I will show you. “I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.

SECOND READING II Timothy 1:8b-10 Beloved: Bear your share of hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from God. He saved us and called us to a holy life, not according to our works but according to his own design and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began, but now made manifest through the appearance of our savior Christ Jesus, who destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION cf. Matthew 17:5 James D. Wetzel V. From the shining cloud the Father’s voice is heard: This is my beloved Son, hear him. 3 GOSPEL Matthew 17:1-9 Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud cast a shadow over them, then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell prostrate and were very much afraid. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and do not be afraid.” And when the disciples raised their eyes, they saw no one else but Jesus alone. As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, “Do not tell the vision to anyone until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” HOMILY RITE OF CONTINUING CONVERSION (at 12:00 Noon) 4 CREDO (sung at 12:00 Noon) Chant, mode iv 5 6 LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST OFFERTORY ANTIPHON Psalm 118 (119):47, 48 Chant, mode ii Meditabor in mandatis tuis, I will meditate on your commandments, quae dilexi valde: which I have loved exceedingly, et levabo manus meas ad mandata tua, and I will lift up my hands to your commandments, quae dilexi. which I have loved.

Handl was most likely educated at the Cistercian monastery in Carniola. In his mid-teens, he left his home town to travel in Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia, singing for a time in the choir at the Benedictine Melk Abbey (still active) on the Danube in lower Austria. He later served as a musician in the Viennese court chapel, as choirmaster for a Moravian bishop, and as organist of the Church of St. John on the Balustrade in Prague from 1585 until his death in 1591. He composed hundreds of sacred works, including about twenty Masses and several Passions. His musical style mixes the polyphonic idiom of the High Renaissance Franco- Flemish composers with that of the Venetian School, with a combination of archaic and then-experimental compositional techniques. Handl’s most notable work is the six-part Opus musicum of 1587, a collection of 374 motets that cover the liturgical needs of the entire ecclesiastical year. Jacobus Vaet’s musical education followed the typical of the Low Country singers who dominated European church music in the Renaissance: he became a chorister at the Church of Notre Dame at Koortrijk (Courtrai) in 1543 at the age of thirteen, and when his voice broke in 1546 he was given a scholarship to the University of Leuven (Louvain).

  • Dido Sings Farewell
    Miss Me But Let Me Go: Dido Sings Farewell The death speech of Dido in Aeneid IV is one of the most intensely personal and poignant speeches in all of Roman epic. Readers may argue over the tone and implication of her words, whether they suggest bitterness and resentment for her lost love and unrealized inheritance. Yet composers have generally taken her words at face value, content to wrap her adieu with suitably chastened and even brittle music. The Renaissance saw an unusual number composers drawn to Dulces Exuviae, setting most, if not all, of her words; these musicians include, in chronological order: Josquin Des Prez (c.1440 – 1521), Jean Mouton (c.1475 – 1522), Adrian Willaert (c.1490 – 1562), Jacques Arcadelt (c.1505 – c.1560), Alonso Mudarra (c.1510 – 1580), Cipriano da Rore (c.1515 – 1565), Jacobus Vaet (c.1529 - 1567), Orlandus Lassus (1532 – 1594), and Jakob Handl (1550 – 1591). All but two of these men were Franco-Flemish, and most spent some time in northern Italy; there they may have first met the Vergilian text through the music of Josquin, who spent much of his professional life in Milan and Rome. However, with the birth of opera, Dido was heard more on stage than within an intimate circle of madrigalists; consider the operas La Didone (1641) by Francesco Cavalli and Dido and Aeneas (1689) by Henry Purcell; here Vergil’s own words were abandoned for lengthier libretti by Giovanni Francesco Busenello and Nahum Tate respectively. And these latter day poets were willing to adapt and even alter Vergil to suit their own dramatic purpose: so Tate had Dido plead “Remember me, but forget my fate.” Such a verbal conceit may seem far-fetched to experienced readers of the Aeneid, but it does allow the composer to craft exceedingly poignant music.

  • Loft Concert Program
    The Renaissance Street Singers 42nd-Anniversary Loft Concert Montague Street, Brooklyn Heights, July 13, 2014 Jeanie Wing 3 pm Sundays February 22 and March 1, 2015 John Hetland's Home 135 West 17th Street, Loft 3B New York, NY 10011 - 2 - Polyphonic Sacred Music In polyphony (meaning “many sounds”), the dominant form of religious music in Europe during the Renaissance, each voice (soprano, alto, etc.) sings an interesting melodic line, with rhythmic complexity, and the voices intertwine, often imitating one another, to make a complex weaving of sound. The composers of sacred music, writing with serious intent, put their best efforts into the music. The result is beautiful music that transcends the religious tradition from which it springs. The Renaissance Street Singers The Renaissance Street Singers, founded in 1973 by John Hetland, perform polyphonic 15th- and 16th-century sacred music a cappella on the sidewalks and in the public spaces of New York. The motivation is a love for this music and the wish to share it with others. Concerts are on Sunday afternoons about twice a month, always free. Loft Concert We are pleased to perform here in the Loft once a year for your en- joyment. The music is our usual repertoire, mostly unrelated compo- sitions that we like. This year's concert contains works by thirteen composers from seven different countries, featuring the mass “La sol fa re mi” by Josquin des Prez. Plus good food and then singing by you. Missa “La sol fa re mi” The story is told of some magnate who answered Josquin’s requests with “Laisse faire moy” or “Lesse faire a mi” (Let me take care of it) but didn’t take care of it, leading Josquin to reply by composing a mass on the solmization theme la, sol, fa, re, mi.

  • Central European Connections of Six Manuscript Organ Tablature Books of the Reformation Era from the Region of Zips (Szepes, Spiš)*
    Central European Connections of Six Manuscript Organ Tablature Books of the Reformation Era from the Region of Zips (Szepes, Spiš)* Marta HULKOVÁ Comenius University, Faculty of Arts, Bratislava Gondova 2, SK-81499 Bratislava, Slovakia E-mail: [email protected] (Received: September 2014; accepted: December 2014) Abstract: Tablature notations that developed in the sixteenth century in the field of secular European instrumental music had an impact also on the dissemination of purely vocal and vocal-instrumental church music. In this function, the so-called new German organ tablature notation (also known as Ammerbach’s notation) became the most prominent, enabling organists to produce intabulations from the vocal and vocal-instrumental parts of sacred compositions. On the choir of the Lutheran church in Levoča, as parts of the Leutschau/Lőcse/Levoča Music Collection, six tablature books written in Ammerbach’s notation have been preserved. They are associated with Johann Plotz, Ján Šimbracký, and Samuel Marckfelner, local organists active in Zips during the seventeenth century. The tablature books contain a repertoire which shows that the scribes had a good knowledge of contemporaneous Protestant church music performed in Central Europe, as well as works by Renaissance masters active in Catholic environment during the second half of the sixteenth century. The books contain intabulations of the works by local seventeenth-century musicians, as well as several pieces by Jacob Regnart, Matthäus von Löwenstern, Fabianus Ripanus, etc. The tablatures are often the only usable source for the reconstruction of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century polyphonic compositions transmitted incompletely. Keywords: organ tablature books, Leutschau/Lőcse/Levoča Music Collection, Plotz, Šimbracký, Marckfelner Introduction Tablature notations that developed in the sixteenth century in the field of secular European instrumental music had an impact also on the dissemination of purely Studia Musicologica 56/1, 2015, pp.

  • The Articulation of Cultural Identity Through Psalm Motets, Augsburg 1540–1585
    THE ARTICULATION OF CULTURAL IDENTITY THROUGH PSALM MOTETS, AUGSBURG 1540–1585 Megan K. Eagen A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Anne MacNeil Tim Carter John Nádas David Crook Ruth von Bernuth © 2016 Megan K. Eagen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Megan K. Eagen: The Articulation of Cultural Identity through Psalm Motets, Augsburg 1540–1585 (Under the direction of Anne MacNeil) In this dissertation, I analyze the social and religious climate in Augsburg from 1540–1585 through the lens of psalm motets. The period between the initial shockwave of the Reformation and the sociocultural upheavals that ultimately produced the Thirty Years War may be characterized as one of intense negotiations regarding religious freedoms. The environment encouraged and even necessitated the development of materials oriented toward specific confessional groups. At the same time, residents of biconfessional cities such as Augsburg needed to find subtle or nonconfrontative ways to express their views. Despite both nascent and deep-seated differences, Catholics and Protestants of diverse sects all used the Psalter. This study interprets selections and centonizations of musically set psalm texts as indicators of multireligious communal identities. Source materials consulted for this project include over one hundred prints and manuscripts of motets held at the Augsburg State and City Library and at the Bavarian State Library in Munich. The makeup of this repertory is defined by Augsburg’s close connection to the Habsburg dynasty: composers represented in these volumes were active almost exclusively within the bounds of the Holy Roman Empire, and many composed for imperial courts.

  • Music As Holy Preaching
    THE PARISH OF ST. VINCENT FERRER AND ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA MUSIC AS HOLY PREACHING MUSIC LIST of the SCHOLA CANTORUM and PARISH CONCERT SERIES 2019–2020 SEASON The Very Reverend Walter C. Wagner, O.P., Pastor James D. Wetzel, Director of Music and Organist INTRODUCTION TO MUSIC IN THE PARISH Welcome to the Parish of St. Vincent Ferrer and St. Catherine of Siena in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, served by the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph. We are blessed with a wonderful, active music program, and we hope that this brochure will be a guide to experiencing our holy preaching more fully through music. The Solemn Mass is at the heart of the Parish’s liturgical and musical life and is the richest expression of the Church’s Holy Sacrifice. As such, it is celebrated with full ceremonial on Sundays (at 12 Noon at St. Vincent Ferrer), on major feast days, and to mark important occasions in the community. The Schola Cantorum, the Parish’s professional choir, sings for every Solemn Mass. Schola Cantorum is the official term used by the Catholic Church to denote a liturgical choir and literally means ‘school of singing’. The Schola chants the Latin Propers (the Entrance, Offertory, and Communion Antiphons and the Alleluia) according to the Dominican Graduale, the chant book particular to the Order of Preachers. Offertory 2 and Communion motets follow their respective Antiphons, and in privileged seasons a choral Mass Ordinary is offered. This broad range of repertoire surveys the very best in our treasured Catholic musical patrimony.
