Offertory Antiphon: Dextera Domini, Orlandus Lassus
Communion Antiphon: Miribantur Omnes, A. Jones
This Sunday’s propers are one of two sets that repeat each Sunday until the liturgical season changes. Both the Offertory and Communion antiphons will be sung as choral settings. The original chant for Dextera Domini is in mode 2 and Orlandus Lassus uses the original mode for his composition while composing entirely original music for the antiphon. The setting of Mirabantur Omnes is a new composition by a member of the choir and is a world premiere.
Orlandus Lassus (c.1532–1594) is known for the mature polyphonic style in the Franco-Flemish school. He wrote over 2,000 works in Latin, French, Italian, and German both sacred and secular. Lassus along with Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Tomás Luis de Victoria are the most influential composers of the late Renaissance.
