All Saints’ Sunday

Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

Music Notes

Tom√°s Luis de Victoria was born in Avila, Spain in 1548. He began his musical studies as a chorister at Avila Cathedral and moved to Rome in 1565. Having taken Holy Orders in 1575, Victoria continued to work as a musician, composer and priest in Rome until he returned to Spain as Chaplain to the Empress Maria in 1587. His work at the Empress’s Monasterio de las Descalzas de S. Clara in Madrid included the role of Maestro de Capilla, and many of the composer’s later masses were written for the choir of boys and priests that he directed there.

The Missa O quam gloriosum was published in 1583 and is based on the motet of the same name by Victoria. The text for the motet is taken from the Magnificat Antiphon for the Feast of All Saints and the themes for the Mass setting are derived from motifs in the motet. In the conventional style of the parody mass (a form particularly common in the 16th century), the composer selects motifs with a mind to the text of the various sections of the mass, and with his characteristic Spanish flair Victoria breathes new life and purpose into the pre-composed themes.
