Lourdes - St. Bernadette



Spiritual talent - St. Bernadette Soubirous was born in Lourdes, France, on January 7, 1844.

1858, she was granted a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary in a cave on the banks of the Gave River near Lourdes.

The civil authorities tried to frighten Bernadette into recanting her accounts, but she remained faithful to the vision. On February 25, a spring emerged from the cave and the waters were discovered to be of a miraculous nature, capable of healing the sick and lame. On March 25, Bernadette announced that the vision stated that she was the Immaculate Conception, and that a church should be erected on the site.
Bernadette was beatified in 1925 and canonized in 1933 by Pope Pius XI.

Mozart's Great Mass in C Minor- Kyrie


This piece was written to be performed during the traditional Mass. Because the structure of the Ordinary of the Mass survived the Second Vatican Council, this piece may be performed at non-Latin Masses as well.

The Ordinary of the Mass is as follows:

1. Kyrie - "Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy."
2. Gloria - "Glory to God in the Highest..."
3. Credo - "We believe in one God..."
4. Sanctus - "Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might..."
5. Benedictus - "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord..."
6. Agnus Dei - "Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world

Mozart's Mass has been given the name "Great Mass" because, more so than any other work of the eighteenth century, it summarizes everything that had happened in religious music until its composition in 1782-1783.

John Eliot Gardiner conducts the English Baroque Soloists and the Monteverdi Choir in the Kyrie of Mozart's Mass in C Minor, K.427.
