Sunday’s Music
Sunday, July 12
Our Offertory Solo is César Franck’s most well-known choral work, Panis Angelicus, heard this morning in a version for solo soprano and organ. This movement is included in his Messe en La Majeur (his ‘Mass in A Major’ – musical settings of masses in France at the time were comprised of not only the expected Gloria, Sanctus, etc. movements, but also settings of other regularly-sung texts). Franck, born in French-speaking Belgium (but who has been officially adopted as “French”), was a towering figure in 19th-century music in France. Our Communion Solo is a setting of a poem by Charles, Duc d’Orléans (1394-1465). Poulenc found this poem in the French newspaper Le Figaro of 29 September 1938, during the time of the Munich crisis when the whole world was on tenterhooks, fearing war with Germany. It is sung today, not only as a prayer for peace in France and our country, but also for our world.
