Offertory Antiphon: Dextera Domini, Orlandus Lassus
Communion Antiphon: Miribantur Omnes, Heinrich Isaac
As two weeks ago, the propers this week are one of two sets that repeat each Sunday until the liturgical season changes next week. The communion antiphon for this Sunday’s Mass is set by Heinrich Isaac and is mostly original in composition. The text is taken from the Gospel of Luke 4:22, “They were all amazed at the things which proceeded from the mouth of God.”
Heinrich Isaac (c.1450–1517) was a Renaissance composer from the South Netherlandish region. His output was rivaled only by Orlandus Lassus in number and variety of composition. Most notable of his collections is Choralis Constantinus which contains nearly 400 Gregorian chant based motets of propers for the Mass.
