    Sing,Sing, ye ye HeavensHeavens HYMNS FOR ALL TIME the cambridge singers ✶ directed by john rutter ✶ The hymns heard on this recording span over fifteen centuries of the history of Christian Europe. They have been chosen not with the aim of representing every possible strand in the rich and complex history of hymnody, but simply to make up a varied programme which can be listened to for pleasure. Some items are accompanied by organ, some by harp where this lighter and more transparent sound seems appropriate; some, notably the ancient and inspiring Gregorian hymns, are left unaccompanied; and five of the grandest hymns are given festival arrangements with HYMNS FOR ALL TIME brass, timpani, percussion and organ. Every denomination and every country has its own special repertoire of hymns: there are remarkably few which are universally sung throughout Christendom, partly because of the difficulty of making satisfactory The Cambridge Singers translations, partly because every congregation loves the hymns it feels are especially Thelma Owen (harp) its own. The perspective of this album is Anglican; but the Anglican hymn tradition, John Scott (organ) since the appearance of Hymns Ancient and Modern in 1861 and that greatest of all The City of London Sinfonia Brass hymn-books in English, The English Hymnal of 1906, has been notably eclectic. directed by John Rutter Gregorian chants rub shoulders with eighteenth-century London street songs, German chorales, Celtic folk melodies and the other prolific outpourings of Trad. and Anon. Medieval Catholic monks bear poetic witness to their faith alongside The Cambridge Singers reformed slave traders, metaphysical poets, evangelical preachers of the time of the Industrial Revolution, and all manner of clergy, high, low and in between.

All the services through Holy Week had been well attended and it was good to see that over forty Old choristers had gathered by 10.30am for a rehearsal with Timothy Noon, the director of Music, and all the choristers. The music was Schubert Mass in G and Elgar’s Ave Verum. Jonathan Titchin read the Epistle and our Chairman Reverend Charles Roberts provided the Intercessions. He remembered some Old choristers who were unable to attend owning to illness.

  • Download the April 2018 Edition of Cathedral
    Cathedral News April 2018 – No. 672 From the Dean : I first went to Romania for Easter while I was a theological student. We were staying in Sibiu, in Transylvania – Dracula country. At about half past two on Easter morning, we were woken in our dormitory by the crowds in the street below. At four in the morning, when the Liturgy started, there were seven or eight or nine thousand people in or around the Cathedral, all holding lighted candles, and singing with great enthusiasm Hristos a Inviat - or, in English: Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death. And bestowing life on those who are in the grave. The words of the song look to the future, but the fervent worship is certainly about here and now. I’ve spent several Easters in Romania since, and every time it’s the same. But it’s not just the worship. Easter in Romania marks a real turning point in daily life. For the next 50 days, until Pentecost, you no longer greet people with ‘Good Morning’, but with ‘Christ is risen’. And the answer, ‘He is risen indeed.’ We may say, here in England, that we are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song. But in Romania they live as an Easter people: it affects what they say, how they dress, what they eat. Easter is lived out every day. Resurrection becomes a part of the here and now. As I’ve worked on my Holy Week addresses on the Holocaust, I’ve spent quite a lot of time wondering whether I believe in resurrection.

  • Statement "I Will Never Submit to My Country Being Put Into The
    263 Re-armed" he pointed to an urgent task - this was in 1950 - which was the prevention of any conniving at a continuation of German militarism. "It is not dead : it'will take a generation to get it out of the blood. Until then it is dangerous policy to encourage a revival of militarism in a people who have proved themselves more aggressive and vastly more efficient than Russia or any other European people". (4) In the same year Hunter referred to an over-riding political issue by quoting Archbishop C. F. Garbett, his much-esteemed metropolitan, 'Our party politics are the games of children playing on the sands compared with the... necessity of finding some agreement by which this ghastly threat to the human race (sc. the hydrogen bomb) can be removed. ' This can only be done, Hunter commented, "by an effective, realistic attempt once again to reach agreement with Russia". (5) He did not venture on any political theorising as to how agreement might be forthcoming. He could console himself with the thought that this was the -ý ölitician's task into which sphere the layman should not enter. Ten years later in the House of Lords Hunter spoke cogently in the_. debate on Disarmament and indicated underlying human factors which politicians ought to keep in mind. He supported the Archbishop of York (A. M. Ramsey) who had intervened earlier to say that "the right moral demand is... for disarmament by agreement" (6) and had listened to Viscount Alexander of Hillsborough's patriotic statement "I will never submit to my country being put into the unilateral position of being the only main Power that provides 264 no defence for the rights of its citizens".

  • Are Welcome Amessage from the Bishop-Elect
    ALL ARE WELCOME A MESSAGE FROM THE BISHOP-ELECT Dear Friends, I am in awe that you have come, and that we are all gathered here today to celebrate and pray, dream and sing, and cry and laugh. With all of our words, spoken and sung, and with our times of silence, I pray that we may encounter the Holy and be filled with the presence of God. We begin our service of worship with a celebration of the gift of water. Water is foundational for all of life. Over it the Spirit moved in creation, in it Jesus was baptized, through it some of us swim, over it some of us paddle, and through it all of us have life. You will notice the theme of water in our readings, hymns, images, and symbols throughout this service, fittingly so since the inland seas of our mighty Great Lakes surround our state and flow abundantly throughout our diocese. I first visited Michigan to paddle these waters. But I returned over and over again to Michigan because of the people I met. I am honored that the people of the Diocese of Michigan have invited me to be your next bishop. It is my prayer that together we (and all the people whom we have yet to meet) will use the gifts that God has given us to transform the southeast corner of our state, to make this a place where God’s hopes and longing for our world are realized daily. Our worship today is where we take our first step toward that holy goal.

  • The Dedication and Consecration of St. Mary's Episcopal Church
    The Dedication and Consecration of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church 4 August 2021 1 On the day appointed, the clergy and people gather with the bishop in a place apart from the church. When all are ready, the Bishop says the following or similar words Through the ages, Almighty God has moved his people to build houses of prayer and praise, and to set apart places for the ministry of his holy Word and Sacraments. With gratitude for the rebuilding of St. Mary’s, we are now gathered to dedicate and consecrate it in God’s Name. Let us pray. Almighty God, we thank you for making us in your image, to share in the ordering of your world. Receive the work of our hands in this place, now to be set apart for your worship, the building up of the living, and the remembrance of the dead, to the praise and glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Necessary announcements may now be made. Standing at the door of the church, the Bishop says Let the door(s) be opened. The door is opened. With the pastoral staff the Bishop marks the threshold with the sign of the cross saying Peace be to this house, and to all who enter here: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Once the organist and the choir move to their positions, the people process into the nave. As the people move into the nave, the choir welcomes them. The people sit until Processional begins.
