Creativity in Crisis Rev. Kim Mason June 7, 2020 Order of Service Creativity in Crisis Rev. Kim Mason June 7, 2020 Order of Service Ringing of the Bowl Welcome and Announcements Norma Vogelweid Prelude Mit Freuden zart Ernst Pepping Call to Worship Rev. Kim Mason ​ Hymn #1029 Love Knocks and Waits for Us to Hear ​ Love knocks and waits for us to hear, to open and invite; Love longs to quiet every fear, and seeks to set things right. Love offers life, in spite of foes who threaten and condemn; embracing enemies, Love goes the second mile with them. Love comes to heal the broken heart, to ease the troubled mind; without a word Love bids us start to ask and seek and find. Love knocks and enters at the sound of welcome from within; Love sings and dances all around, and feels new life begin. Chalice Lighting Norma Vogelweid Sung Response Come as we light this candle of memory. Come as we light this candle of hope. Come as we light this candle of reverence. Come into the flame. Come into the flame. Story Say Something by Peter Reynolds Ben Rosensweig ​ ​ Prayer and Meditation Rev. Kim Mason ​ Spirit of Life #123 Spirit of Life ​ Spirit of life, come unto me. Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion. Blow in the wind, rise in the sea; Move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice. Roots hold me close; wings set me free; Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me. Story Ish, by Peter Reynolds Ben Rosensweig & Rev. Kim Mason ​ ​ ​ Call for the Offering Rev.

Kim Mason Postlude Allegro Vivace Hermann Schroeder ​ Music Notes Ernst Pepping (12 September 1901 – 1 February 1981) was a German composer of classical music and ​ academic teacher. He is regarded as an important composer of Protestant sacred music in the 20th century. His sacred works for choir a cappella included masses such as the Missa Dona nobis pacem, ​ ​ ​ ​ motets and chorales, for example the collection Spandauer Chorbuch (Spandau choir book). He also ​ ​ composed secular vocal music, organ music, orchestral works including three symphonies, and chamber music. Pepping based his church music on Protestant hymns, the vocal polyphony of the 16th and 17th century and modal keys. Hermann Schroeder (1904 –1984) was a German composer and a Catholic church musician. His main ​ sphere of activity as composer, conductor and organist were supplemental to his work as a professor of choral conducting, counterpoint, and composition. He taught music theory at the Cologne Musikhochschule beginning in 1946, becoming a professor there in 1948 and deputy director in 1958. His notable students include Karlheinz Stockhausen.His catalog includes much organ music as well as folk-song settings, German settings of the Ordinary and Proper of the Mass, and chamber music (especially with the organ). Welcome to this religious community where we affirm the dignity, worth, and freedom of all who enter our doors. Here we seek to live together in relationship and respect so that we may embrace and celebrate our differences. Understanding that we need not think alike to love alike, our religious values invite us to a shared journey of truth and meaning. Sincerity and connection guide our religious community, and call us into deeper association with ourselves and our world.

Rau certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Missa Cum Populo: A Liturgical and Musical Innovation ______________________________ Chair: Michael Bauer Date Approved: 8 December 2016 ii Abstract This lecture-recital document presents a study of the missa cum populo, a new genre of Catholic liturgical music developed during the twentieth century in response to the desire for more active participation of laity in worship. Relevant twentieth century liturgical documents will be cited as a means of understanding concepts important in the reformed Catholic Mass: the treasury of sacred music, participation of the assembly, and the role of the choir. A history of the missa cum populo will then be presented and missa cum populo settings by Hermann Schroeder, Anton Heiller, Norman Dello Joio, and Richard Proulx will be examined to illustrate the techniques composers use to overcome the difficulties of writing music that employs both trained and untrained ensembles. Finally, this document supports the use of missa cum populo settings in contemporary Catholic worship. iii Table of Contents Chapter 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................

  • The Reconstruction of Post-War West German New Music During the Early Allied Occupation
    The Reconstruction of Post -War West German New Music during the early Allied Occupation (1945 -46), and its Roots in the Weimar Republic and Third Reich (1918 -45) PhD Submission, 2018 Cardiff University Ian Pace Abstract This thesis is an analysis of the development of new music in occupied Germany from the end of World War Two, on 8 May 1945, until the end of 1946, in terms of the creation of institutions for the propagation of new music, in the form of festiva ls, concert series, radio stations, educational institutions and journals focusing on such a field, alongside an investigation into technical and aesthetic aspects of music being composed during this period. I argue that a large number of the key decisions which would affect quite fundamentally the later trajectory of new music in West Germany for some decades were made during this period of a little over eighteen months. I also argue that subsequent developments up to the year 1951, by which time the infra structure was essentially complete, were primarily an extension and expansion of the early period, when many of the key appointments were made, and institutions created. I also consider the role of new music in mainstream programming of orchestras, opera h ouses, chamber music societies, and consider all of these factors in terms of the occupation policies of the three Western powers – the USA, the UK and France. Furthermore, I compare these developments to those which occurred in during the Weimar Republic and the Third Reich, of which I give an overview, and argue as a result that the post -war developments, rather than being radically new, constituted in many ways a continuation and sometimes distillation of what was in place especially in the Weimar years .

But even with so many options from which to choose, a few of these have emerged as some of the most frequently used teaching materials for beginning organ students. Among the most often used are “The Organist’s Manual” by Roger E. Davis and Howard Gleason’s “Method of Organ Playing.” Both address the basic aspects of organ-playing including registration selection, finger independence, articulation, substitution, hymn-playing, and, of course, pedal technique, to name a few.
