(1) many conservative Catholics mumble the antiphon at Mass and let the words roll off them like water off a duck's back.(2) Carla Gottlieb years ago identified the text along the edge of Mary's garment in two of the four panels, the Visitation and the Presentation in the Temple, as from a Marian antiphon sung at the Feast of the Purification.(3) The votive antiphon had been the jewel in the crown of English composition for many decades before Tallis's first essays in the form, but in Gaude gloriosa he significantly expanded it.(4) Early Elizabethan anthems were modelled on the Latin antiphon or motet, but they cautiously followed the queen's injunction by being largely syllabic, with a minimum of counterpoint.(5) Evening Prayer II for August 15 features this antiphon : u2018The Virgin Mary was taken up to the heavenly bridal chamber where the King of kings is seated on a starry throne.u2019(6) Their contribution begins in a soft, seemingly random and disjointed way, with two of the players sharing a kind of aleatoric antiphon .(7) The newer work was commissioned for a concert of music derived from a Gregorian antiphon imploring the Lord for peace now, not later, u2018because there is no one else who will fight for us, if not You, our God.u2019(8) De Angelis is based on an antiphon by Hildegard of Bingen, a composer Hatzis admires greatly not just for her music but also for her theology.(9) Light plays a key role throughout the altarpiece, and the word's absence perhaps explains why there is no text from the antiphon at all in Daret's Nativity.(10) Traditionally sung as an antiphon in honour of the Blessed Virgin, Rubbra places it directly after the account of Christ's appearance to Mary Magdalene in the garden.(11) His comment on the hymn itself traces its wording to several passages of Revelation and notes how the antiphon relates the hymn to the Eucharistic banquet of which it is a part.(12) Since this antiphon is the only composition thus far attributed to the daughter of Ioannes Kladas, it serves as the only source of style for the composer.(13) For each Psalm an antiphon is given as a recurring theme phrase to be sung by the choir or the people.(14) On the day I saw the exhibit, this hand-copied book was open to the Magnificat antiphon for Vespers on Septuagesima Sunday.(15) So the choir and the procession of ministers would be accompanied by the singing of, in this instance a Gregorian chant, interestingly in this particular chant, what we have in fact is the antiphon , from the Book of Wisdom.(16) One of the antiphons for Aunemund's liturgy at Saint-Nizier makes such a move.
