The Sundays of Advent will feature a masterpiece of Guillaume Du Fay, Missa Ecce Ancilla Domini.
Guillaume Du Fay (1397-1474) was a Franco-Flemish composer of the late Medieval and early Renaissance periods. Du Fay’s musical talents were noticed at a young age by the cathedral authorities of his home in Cambrai. He went on to hold a number of prominent posts—including at Cambrai, Tournai, the court of Savoy, and the papal chapels in Rome and Florence—and was well regarded by his contemporaries. Du Fay is considered the central figure of the Burgundian School, a generation of composers which ushered in the new practices of the burgeoning musical Renaissance in Europe.
Missa Ecce Ancilla Domini, composed during Du Fay’s late period and copied into the Cambrai choirbook around 1464, emulates the English tradition of mass cycles based on a cantus firmus (a pre-existent melody). The tunes used, in this case, are “Ecce Ancilla Domini” (Antiphon: Annunciation) and “Beata es Maria” (Antiphon: Visitation). The mass’s flowing rhythmic style, frequent cadences, and consonant, third-filled harmony exemplify the sweetness and clarity of Dufay’s late-life, early-Renaissance style.

Bishop Guglielmone of the Diocese of Charleston will be visiting Prince of Peace on Wednesday, 7 December, to celebrate Mass with our school children. This will be the second visit to our school to celebrate mass since he was ordained Bishop in March 2009. The last time the Bishop visited our school was in March of 2011.
We are very honored that the Bishop contacted our school and expressed his interest in taking some time during the Advent season to spend time with us and to pray with our school community.
The Children’s Choirs will be singing and we invite all school families and parishioners to join us for this very special Mass.
