English Tudor composer Christopher Tye (1505-1573) was Magister Choristarum
at Ely Cathedral. Ecce Sacerdos Magnus translates as Behold! a Great High Priest.
It is commonly sung as an introit at the enthronement of a bishop. Sir John
Goss (1800-1880) preceded his student Sir John Stainer as Organist of St. Paul’s
Cathedral, London.

The gentle lilt and mood of Vierne’s Berceuse evokes peacefulness. Libera
is a British boy band which enjoys an international reputation for its musical
singing. English composer Ruth Byrchmore (1966-) began her musical career
as Composer in Residence at Wells Cathedral. She is currently on the staff of the
Royal Academy of Music.

American composer Carson Cooman is Composer in Residence at The Memorial
Church, Harvard University. American composer Christine Temple-Evans hails from
Arizona. The Dobson organ played by Dr. Mardirosian brings out the beauty of this
rarely-performed composition by Maria Theresia von Paradis (1759-1824) who was
a student of Antonio Salieri.

The German translates as “Well for him, who can depend, childlike, on his God”. I agree
with commentator Simon Crouch that the opening movement is one of Bach’s most pleasant
creations.
American composer Howard Hanson wrote his Lumen in Christo for women’s voices and orchestra
on the subject of light.

We think of Donizetti primarily as an opera composer. Fortunately the master of operatic melody
left us several fine sacred choral works of which this Credo is one.

A seldom-performed work by a little-known composer? Francois-Joseph Gossec’s setting of the
ancient hymn of praise Te Deum Laudamus fits the bill on both counts. It is a substantial work
scored as it is for a chorus of 1,200 singers and an orchestra of 300 wind instruments.
