Rosary Concert at St. Mary’s Norwalk

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

The program for “The Joyful Mysteries” is drawn from a collection of devotional pieces by the German composer Gregor Aichinger (1644–1704) called Virginalia: Laudes aeternae Virginis Mariae (“Eternal praises of the Virgin Mary”). The collection contains sacred songs for five voices addressed to the Blessed Virgin, including one for each of the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary. For this concert, the Schola will perform Aichinger’s songs concerning the Joyful Mysteries: five events from the Bible surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ, beginning with the Angel Gabriel’s announcement of his conception and ending with his teaching in the temple as a young boy. The program will also include Gregorian chant and selections from the organ repertoire on the subject of these Mysteries, played by Director of Music David J. Hughes.
