Am following Holy Mass from Saint-Eugène...

After watching the departure of the aircraft that is carrying the Late Queen's coffin from Edinburgh to London; a feria, so the Mass is Sunday's, Protector noster



In a recording from 1968, Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius; the text of course is Saint John Henry Newman's.


Introitus. Ps. 83, 10-11. Protéctor noster, áspice, Deus, et réspice in fáciem Christi tui: quia mélior est dies una in átriis tuis super mília. Ps. ibid., 2-3. Quam dilécta tabernácula tua, Domine virtutum! concupíscit, et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómini. ℣. Glória Patri. Ant. Protector noster.





Graduale. Ps. 117, 8-9. Bonum est confidére in Dómino, quam confidére in hómine. . Bonum est speráre in Dómino, quam speráre in princípibus.





Allelúja, allelúja. ℣. Ps. 94, 1. Veníte, exsultémus Dómino, jubilémus Deo, salutári nostro. Allelúja.




Offertorium. Ps. 33, 8-9. Immíttet Angelus Dómini in circúit timentium eum, et erípiet eos: gustáte et vidéte, quóniam suávis est Dóminus.





Communio. Matth. 6, 33. Primum quǽrite regnum Dei, et ómnia adjiciéntur vobis, dicit Dóminus.





Had never heard of Vicente Lusitano (c 1520-c 1561) but 'since the 1980s, he has been described as the first published black composer'. A priest, he apostasized, married, and fled into the Lutheran territories of the North. His Inviolata, integra et casta es Maria is very pleasant.  






Didn't know that Edvard Grieg had composed a setting of Ave maris stella
