Concluding Hymn...Song of Thankfulness and Praise...#451 (Sun. 5 pm) God Has Chosen Me...#781 MUSIC AND LITURGY NOTES At the 10am Mass this weekend, the Parish Choir will sing the anthem, Cantique de Jean Racine, composed by Gabriel Fauré. The French text was written by the dramatist, Jean Racine, and published in 1688 in Hymnes traduites du Bréviaire romain. It is a paraphrase of a hymn for Tuesday matins from the breviary, Consors paterni luminis. Fauré chose to name his piece after Racine rather than the mediaeval source material, possibly because the elegant and rather florid French version was quite a creative leap from the original Latin. The words form an entreaty to God for his heavenly gaze, fiery mercy and guidance towards the path of righteousness. It ends with an exchange of faith and grace between Christ and his gathered followers. Fauré treats the inspiring text with a gorgeously restrained and respectful charm that reflects his ten years of training at the liturgically-focused Ecole Niedermeyer in Paris. If you like what you hear, why not join us? As we begin the second half of our ministerial season, we are currently accepting new members in all of our Music Ministry ensembles (Parish Choir, Family Choir, Handbell Ensemble).
