Offertory Antiphon: Ad te Domine, Levavi, Alessandro Scarlatti (1660–1725)
Motet at Communion: Anima Christi, Msgr. Marco Frisina
The Offertory antiphon this Sunday is a choral setting by Alessandro Scarlatti with text from Psalm 24:1-2: Unto thee, O Lord, will I lift up my soul; my God, I have put my trust in thee: O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies triumph over me. For all they that hope in thee shall not be ashamed. This passage of scripture is shared in common with the Introit from the First Sunday of Advent.
The motet after the communion chant is perhaps the most famous setting of the prayer Anima Christi by Msgr. Marco Frisina. Monsignor’s setting can be accompanied with either strings or organ and alternates full choir with a solo voice.
Msgr. Marco Frisina (b. 1954) is an Italian priest who was ordained in 1982. Msgr. Frisina graduated with a degree in composition from the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia and obtained his license in Sacred Scripture from the Pontifical Biblical Institute. He began directing sacred music in Rome in 1984 when he founded the Choir of the Diocese of Rome and has held numerous other music positions in service to the Vatican.
