===========================
Music Notes:
Dudley Buck was America’s most prolific 19th Century composer. Born in Hartford Ct, he was educated in Germany, and taught in his own organ studio in Chicago until it was destroyed in the Great Fire. He returned to New England as composer, concert organist, and conductor, and also conducted and was organist in New York City.
The introduction to “Holy Holy Holy” is by Dr. Joyce Jones, who recently retired as head of the organ department at Baylor University. Her most recent CD was recorded on the organ in the Cadet Chapel at West Point.
The text of the anthem is known as Saint Patrick’s Breastplate. The musical setting includes two traditional Irish melodies—St. Patrick and Deidre. It speaks not only to the Trinity but also to God’s Omnipresence.
Benedetto Giacomo Marcello was an Italian composer, writer, advocate, magistrate and teacher. Psalm 19 was originally for chorus and orchestra. This organ score was arranged by Thomas Gieschen (1936-2006.)
