  • Holy War in Henry Fifth
    Holy War in Henry Fifth Published in Shakespeare Survey 48, Nov./Dec. 1995, reprinted in Shakespearean Criticism Gale Publications, 1996 Steven Marx English Department, Cal Poly University San Luis Obispo [email protected] Joel Altman calls Henry V 'the most active dramatic experience Shakespeare ever offered his audience'.1 The experience climaxes at the end of the final battle with the arrival of news of victory. Here the king orders that two hymns be sung while the dead are buried, the 'Non Nobis' and the 'Te Deum'. In his 1989 film, Kenneth Branagh underlines the theatrical emphasis of this implicit stage direction. He extends the climax for several minutes by setting Patrick Doyle's choral-symphonic rendition of the 'Non Nobis' hymn behind a single tracking shot that follows Henry as he bears the dead body of a boy across the corpse- strewn field of Agincourt. The idea for this operatic device was supplied by Holinshed, who copied it from Halle, who got the story from a chain of traditions that originated in the event staged by the real King Henry in 1415. Henry himself took instruction from another book, the Bible.2 The hymns which Henry requested derive from verses in the psalter. 'Non Nobis' is the Latin title of Psalm 115 , which begins, 'Not unto us, O lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the glorie... .' This psalm celebrates the defeat of the Egyptian armies and God's deliverance of Israel at the Red Sea. It comes midway in the liturgical sequence known as The Egyptian Hallelujah extending from Psalm 113-118, a sequence that Jesus and the disciples sang during the Passover celebration at the Last Supper and that Jews still recite at all their great festivals.3 Holinshed refers to the hymn not as 'Non Nobis' but by the title of Psalm 114 , 'In exitu Israel de Aegypto' ('When Israel came out of Egypt').4 The miraculous military victory commemorated in the 'Non Nobis' is the core event of salvation in the Bible, the model of all of God's interventions in human history.

IN EXITU ISRAEL 1. In exitu Israel de Aegypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro: 2. Facta est Judaea sanctificatio ejus: Israel potestas ejus. 3. Mare vidit, et fugit: Jordanis conversus est retrorsum. 4. Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium. 5. Quid est tibi mare quod fugisti? Et tu Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum? 6. Montes exsultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium? 7. A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob: 8. Qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum. 9. Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam. 10. Super misericordia tua et veritate tua: nequando dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum? 11. Deus autem noster in caelo: omnia quaecumque voluit, fecit. 12. Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manum hominum. 13. Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt. 14. Aures habent et non audient: nares habent, et non odorabunt. 15. Manus habent et non palpabunt: pedes habent, et non ambulabunt: non clamabunt in gutture suo. 16. Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes qui confidunt in eis. 17. Domus Israel speravit in Domino: adjutor eorum et protector eorum est. 18. Domus Aaron speravit in Domino: adjutor eorum et protector eorum est. 19. Qui timent Dominum speraverunt in Domino: adjutor eorum et protector eorum est. 20. Dominus memor fuit nostri: et benedixit nobis.

PREFACE. ThE first edition of The Psalter Noted was published in 1849 under the supervision of the late Rev. Thomas Helmore, and secured for the Gregorian Tones a general recognition of their appropriateness for Divine worship. Subsequently Mr. Helmore's scheme was enlarged by the issue of The Canticles Noted, of A Brief Directory, and of three Appendixes to the Psalter; and the whole collection was issued in one volume under the title of A Manual of Plainsong. The Manual had also two companion books, one of Words only containing The Canticles and Psalter Accented, the other a collection of Accompanying Harmonies. Thus complete provision was made for the musical performance of the regular services of the Prayer Book. Practical objections, however, to the monotony of the recitation of several Psalms to one Tone without the relief of Antiphons, added to certain difficulties in the pointing, led to the issue of other Psalters which have competed with The Psalter Noted, but without obtaining, any of them, a marked supremacy ; and nothing has been issued which covers the whole field so completely as Mr.

Lundberg In the Bleak Midwinter Arranged Mark Schweizer (b. 1956) Members of the St. Luke’s Choir In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, long ago. Our God, heav'n cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; Heav'n and earth shall flee away, when he comes to reign. In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed The Lord God incarnate, Jesus Christ.

  • PHILIP VAN WILDER, HENRY VIII's LOST COMPOSER
    P PHILIP VAN WILDER, HENRY VIII’s LOST COMPOSER by David Allinson Lutenist, composer and courtier Philip van Wilder may be the most significant ‘lost composer’ of sixteenth-century England. Joseph Kerman called him ‘the most important of several foreign musicians active at the court of Henry VIII of England’,1 yet today his name is known only to specialist musicologists and his music is seldom performed. For anyone interested in Tudor music, van Wilder is a fascinating ‘bridging’ figure who helps to make sense of the dramatic changes in musical style between the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I: he may well have spurred Tallis to experiment with a freer harmonic and imitative idiom; he shaped the Anglican anthem; he directly inspired Byrd. From around 1520 this ‘lewter’ and ‘mynstrell’ from the Low Countries rose to become, for the best part of three decades, the most prominent and richly rewarded professional musician at the English court. His surviving music testifies to a substantial and original compositional talent. More than that: van Wilder’s motets, chansons and anthems shed vivid light on the development of English music in the decades before, during and after the Reformation. Schooled in the soundworld of Netherlandish (and more specifically, Burgundian) music and fluent in its technicalities, van Wilder was certainly open to conservative English traditions: in Sancte Deus 6]he is found embracing both the spirit and the letter of the pre-Reformation English votive antiphon genre, matching every melisma and false relation of the master, Tallis 5. More significantly in this process of cultural exchange, the cream of London’s composers – relatively isolated from the latest continental fashions – were able to draw directly upon this resident representative of Franco-Flemish practices to transform their own music.

Shakespeare's H enriadic Monarchy and ChaucerianlElizabethan Religion Paul A. Olson Shakespeare, interpreting late medieval English history from the ages of Geoffrey and Thomas Chaucer, gives us a second tetralogy (1595-99) that less defends the "Tudor myth" than creates a lens for viewing the formation of a unitary religious/political culture. Writing near the end of Elizabeth's reign, after serious Catholic insurrection had quieted, he examines how Act of Supremacy sacerdotal monarchy eschew rebellion and decadence, creat­ ing eidola paralleling Chaucer s Canterbury Tales ones. ill the latter, Chaucer presented, to the court narratives of Catholic clerical failure Jovinian deca­ dence and th po Ibility of reformed penance. However Sbakespeare tw-ns, for his salvific, from honest penance-Chaucer's solution-to royal contri­ tion and honest action. The second Henriad debunks old polarities of con­ formity and non-confomuty by celebrating the monarch's sen e of nationa.l religion and recapitulating unifying themes about celibacy, repentance and rebellion from the age of Chaucer, bringing Elizabethan religious polemics to the stage in a fashion that emulates Chaucer's dramatic court readings in his time and place.
