Requiem Mass for Veterans Day in Queens

Posted by admin 

Fr. Wilson will celebrate a Requiem Mass at St. Matthias Church, 58-15 Catalpa Ave, Ridgewood NY 11385 (718.821.6447) at 7 pm on November 11th, 2009. A reader of our blog sends this information about the music: The Mass setting is by Giovanni Francesco Anerio. Born into a musical Italian family, Anerio served as a singer and choirmaster in a variety of churches. Ordained in 1616, he left the country in 1624 to serve King Sigismund III of Poland, and died in 1630 as he journeyed back to Rome. This Requiem was performed at London’s Westminster Cathedral on April 23,1912 at a Mass honoring those who lost their lives in the sinking of the Titanic.
