Jubal has been pretty silent for a while, but not for lack of activity…or questions or thoughts, of course!
I’ve been writing a new work to be performed this coming fall…Jubilate! An Ancient-Future Concert Mass. In looking at some of the standard mass lyrics, I find myself asking some questions. Why is the Sanctus a combination of scriptures from Isaiah 6 and the Palm Sunday narrative? There is no obvious reason they go together, but that’s the way it is. Another question…why are all of the texts commonly in Latin, except for the Kyrie, which is in Greek? I wonder who decided that? Such life-changing questions, I know!
Jubal, you are getting kind of tired of writing little black dots on the black lines and spaces, aren’t you?
