Marian Antiphon: Alma Redemptoris Mater, Solemn Chant
Communion Antiphon: Miribantur Omnes, Heinrich Isaac
The communion antiphon set by Heinrich Isaac is taken from the Gospel of Luke 4:22, “They were all amazed at the things which proceeded from the mouth of God.” The motet is taken from his famous Choralis Constantinus, which is a collection of choral settings of the proper chants of the Mass.
Heinrich Isaac (c.1450–1517) was a Renaissance composer from the South Netherlandish region. His output was rivaled only by Orlandus Lassus in number and variety of composition. Most notable of his collections is Choralis Constantinus which contains nearly 400 Gregorian chant based motets of propers for the Mass.
