LITURGY OF THE WORD FIRST READING Malachi 3:19-20a Lo, the day is coming, blazing like an oven, when all the proud and all evildoers will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire, leaving them neither root nor branch, says the Lord of hosts. But for you who fear my name, there will arise the sun of justice with its healing rays. 3 RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 97 (98):5-6, 7-8, 9 James D. Wetzel (b. 1987) Sing praise to the Lord with the harp, Behold the Lord, for he comes, with the harp and melodious song. for he comes to rule the earth, With trumpets and the sound of the horn He will rule the world with justice sing joyfully before the King, the Lord. and the peoples with equity. Let the sea and what fills it resound, the world and those who dwell in it; let the rivers clap their hands, the mountains shout with them for joy. SECOND READING II Thessalonians 3:7-12 Brothers and sisters: You know how one must imitate us. For we did not act in a disorderly way among you, nor did we eat food received free from anyone. On the contrary, in toil and drudgery, night and day we worked, so as not to burden any of you. Not that we do not have the right. Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us. In fact, when we were with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat. We hear that some are conducting themselves among you in a disorderly way, by not keeping busy but minding the business of others. Such people we instruct and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and to eat their own food. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Luke 21:28 Chant, mode vi V. Stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand. 4 ALLELUIA Psalm 129 (130):1, 2 (at 12:00 Noon) Chant, mode vii Alleluia, alleluia. Alleluia, alleluia. V. De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine: V. Out of the depths I have cried to you, O Lord; Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Lord, hear my voice. Alleluia. Alleluia. GOSPEL Luke 21:5-19 While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus said, “All that you see here-the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.” Then they asked him, “Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?” He answered, “See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them! When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end.” Then he said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky. “Before all this happens, however, they will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name. It will lead to your giving testimony. Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name, but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. By your perseverance you will secure your lives.” HOMILY 5 CREDO (sung at 12:00 Noon) Chant, mode iv 6 7 UNIVERSAL PRAYER LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST OFFERTORY ANTIPHON Psalm 129 (130):1, 2 Chant, mode ii De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine: Out of the depths I have cried to you, O Lord; Domine, exaudi orationem meam.

CONCLUDING RITES BLESSING AND DISMISSAL MUSIC NOTES Hamburg-born Hieronymus Praetorius first studied organ with his father Jacob Praetorius the elder (1520-1586) and took further studies in Cologne. After spending three years as an organist in Erfurt, he returned to Hamburg in 1582 where he worked with his father as assistant organist at St. Jacobi, becoming principal organist in 1586 when his father died. His son, Jacob, born that same year, also became a composer. In 1596, Hieronymus traveled to Gröningen where he met Michael Praetorius (no relation) and Hans Leo Hassler. It is likely that from this encounter Hieronymus adopted the progressive Venetian polychoral style that he introduced into north Germany. He was also the first composer to compile a collection of four-part German chorales with organ accompaniment which would become the typical sound of Protestant music for centuries. Choral music at next Sunday’s Solemn Mass for the Solemnity of Christ the King: Giovanni Croce’s Missa Decantabat populus and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina’s Vidi turbam magnam – Et omnes angeli stabant. Parish Vespers continues this and every Sunday at 5:30 PM in the choir stalls at St. Vincent Ferrer. The 2019-2020 Music List, Music as Holy Preaching, is available in the narthex and online. This booklet contains a list of this season’s concerts and repertoire for all choral services as well as information about the St. Cecilia Guild, our Friends of Music program that financially supports music in the Parish. 13 MARIAN ANTIPHON (at 12:00 Noon) Chant, mode v Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy; our life, our sweetness, and our hope, hail. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears.

    EARLY MUSIC NOW WITH SARA SCHNEIDER Broadcast Schedule — Summer 2020 PROGRAM #: EMN 20-01 RELEASE: June 22, 2020 Treasures from Wolfenbüttel Starting in the late Renaissance, the court at Wolfenbüttel in northern Germany emerged as a cultural center. The dukes of the house of Welf employed high-profile composers like Michael Praetorius to increase their prestige, but lesser masters like Daniel Selichius made their mark as well. In this edition of Early Music Now, we'll hear from both composers, with performances by the Huelgas Ensemble and Weser-Renaissance Bremen. PROGRAM #: EMN 20-02 RELEASE: June 29, 2020 Those Talented Purcells This week's show focuses on Henry Purcell, and his lesser-known brother (or cousin) Daniel. We'll hear chamber music by both composers, plus selections from the semiopera they worked on together: The Indian Queen, from a 2015 release by The Sixteen. PROGRAM #: EMN 20-03 RELEASE: July 6, 2020 The Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia This week's program showcases an extraordinary recent release from the Portland-based ensemble Cappella Romana. This recording of medieval Byzantine chant composed for Hagia Sophia was recorded entirely in live, virtual acoustics, and soared to #1 on Billboard's Traditional Classical chart! These evocative sounds linger in the soul long after the music fades. PROGRAM #: EMN 20-04 RELEASE: July 13, 2020 Salomone Rossi: Revolutionary Jewish composer Salomone Rossi was a musician who served the Gonzaga court in Mantua. They valued him so highly that he was given a relatively large amount of personal freedom, while other members of the Jewish faith were restricted.

About the Program “…the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” So writes T.S. Eliot in hisFour Quartets, and so it is with tonight’s concert. The evening is book-ended by two thrilling double-choir Magnificats. But while Vivan- co’s setting of this joyful annunciation text leaves the story unfinished, the Praetorius Magnificat with which we close incorporates two Christmas carols among its verses. The promise of the annunciation is fulfilled in the miracle of the Virgin Birth, just as the renaissance textures of Vivanco find themselves fulfilled and transformed in the proto- Baroque music of Praetorius.

    FOUR MOTETS FROM THE FLORILEGIUM PORTENSE D. M. A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctoral of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mark Allen Chaney, B.A., B.M., M.M. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 D. M. A. Document Committee: Dr. Hilary J. Apfelstadt, Advisor Approved by Dr. Charles M. Atkinson Prof. Richard L. Blatti Advisor Dr. Robert J. Ward Graduate Program in Music Copyright by Mark Allen Chaney 2007 ABSTRACT In 1618, a German clergyman and musician named Erhard Bodenschatz published a collection of 115 motets under the title Florilegium Portense. A second volume of 150 pieces appeared three years later. Both collections contain motets of five to eight voices mostly in Latin, though a few are in German. They contain works of Hassler, Lasso, Gabrieli, and a host of lesser-known composers—as well as several pieces by Bodenschatz himself. The purpose of the collection was to provide a repertory of motets of high quality for practical liturgical use. The collection includes music by both German and Italian composers, and the style of the music ranges from Palestrina-like counterpoint to Venetian polychoral style. Both volumes were published with a figured basis generalis to facilitate performance with organ accompaniment in the Baroque practice that was just then in its infancy. The Florilegium Portense is an important collection because it was so widely used throughout central Germany; it was still being reprinted a century after its first publication. There is very little published scholarship on the Florilegium Portense.

  • Splendour Golden Age of North German Organ Music
    1 Splendour Golden Age of North German Organ Music On the shores of the Baltic and the North Sea, the prosperous Hanseatic League had a considerable influence on musical life, boosted by the economic and commercial development of several European countries (Italy, Netherlands, Flanders, Spain, Portugal, England…). Cultural exchanges were far more efficient and speedy than we could imagine today. This is the context into which the Golden Age of Organ Music was born. A generation of remarkable musicians testify to this, favoured by exceptional instruments with, for instance, the pedalboard that Antonio de Cabezón and certain of his colleagues had dreamed of. The present recording includes organ works by the Praetorius family (Hieronymus, Jacob (ii), Johann), a musical dynasty from Hamburg, founder of the Nordic School, by Scheidemann, Tunder, Weckmann, Buxtehude and Böhm. With the exception of Scheidemann, prolific composer of organ and keyboard works, all of them also wrote magnificent vocal works. Similarly to Chorales used by Lutheran churches, both church music and the secular repertoire were also used for concerts, for instance during the Lübeck Abend-Musiken or at the Hamburg Collegium Musicum. Thus the organist’s role was not solely to awaken devotion. “With what joyfulness” says Johann Kortkamp, pupil of Jacob (ii) Praetorius and friend of Weckmann, the audience rejoiced in “the high festival days…” In 17th century sacred Nordic music, there is not only the influence of solemn ceremonies, rhythmical and majestic in the German-Venetian polychoral style, performed from the Italian cathedral galleries, but also a real treasure of Italian affetti, as well as ingredients from the baroque scene, including all forms of aria, dance, sublime lamento, canzona, dramatic recitative, even the bold approach of the sprezzatura.

  • Program Note Our Program in June 2019 Recalled One of the Largest Organist/Organ Builder Gatherings Ever, in August 1596
    Program Note Our program in June 2019 recalled one of the largest organist/organ builder gatherings ever, in August 1596. In the countryside castle of Duke Heinrich Julius of Braunschweig-Lünenburg (b. 1564), a new organ by local builder David Beck was unveiled and inspected by a group of at least 54 mostly unrelated musicians. Located in the village of Gröningen, just slightly northeast of Halberstadt in north-central Germany, the castle had been renovated with a new wing and a large chapel about the size of Boston’s First Lutheran Church – where much of tonight’s program is centered. The duke had been administrator of the bishopric of Halberstadt since his youth, in addition to other duties associated with three separate courts in Wolfenbüttel, Gröningen and Hessen. Gröningen seemed to be his favorite among the residences, partly due to rich hunting grounds surrounding the area, and perhaps partly because the renovated wing, chapel and organ provided his personal, enduring stamp on buildings originally built by his ancestors. It was also the closest to Halberstadt, where another David Beck organ reigned gloriously in the cathedral and where Heinrich Julius probably played when he could. The organ congress gave him another personal stamp on Gröningen castle, as it was talked about for over a century afterwards and attracted numerous tourists. Johann Mattheson, the composer and theorist, paid a visit as late as 1706. The 54 prominent players and builders, invited from across the German realms – free cities of the Hansa league, courts, bishoprics – were present for almost a week of playing and testing the organ, housed and fed at the duke’s expense.

No other composer of his stature has suffered as much neg- lect; even in Germany, few of his works are performed, and only a handful of musicologists have made him or his work the subject of their studies. His works are voluminous, the great majority published during his lifetime. The com- plete edition of his music,1 edited in this century by Friedrich Blume, runs to twenty thick volumes; his three "-N volume Syntagma Musicum2 is the authoritative work about the music of his era.
