From the Very Reverend Gerwyn Capon and Vicar of Llandaff

Dear Friends, Lent can be seen as a season of the church where we speak of the denial of self in order to bring about change in ourselves! On the one hand we come to an acceptance of our mortality and our need for God, and on the other, confidence to know that in Christ, we are offered new life in the here and now. This leads to a real transformation in our outlook and attitudes – it gives us a sense of hope no matter the context in which we find ourselves. The word “Lent”, after all, is derived from the early English word, “Lencten”, the time when the days begin to lengthen, and the season sees new growth. Lenten transformation is about allowing ourselves to be shaped by God’s grace, just as the warming sun germinates and stirs nature into new life. If this is true, why has the church repeatedly affirmed the Lenten disciplines of self denial? At its most profound level, acts of self-denial serve as an emptying of ourselves, enough to allow God in turn, to fill us. They are a means to an end. They prepare us to be transformed, just a little more, into the full image of ourselves that God intends, an image that conforms more truly to His own. The early Church understood this when it developed the traditional disciplines of Lent – prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Firstly, prayer enables us to establish, maintain and strengthen our relationship with God. We will want to ask for the things we deeply need for ourselves and for others - healing, understanding, patience, humility, strength, insight, a better knowledge of God, an ability to detect his love and to reflect it in how we live. When we do this, we can begin to see the world as Christ sees it. This is the first, most foundational Lenten practice. If we do nothing else during Lent, the practice of daily prayer (preferably silent and contemplative – a few moments in the day, walking, sitting quietly somewhere – thinking about God and His presence around us). Lent is the perfect time to reignite our prayer life.

3

Secondly, fasting (what we typically mean when we talk of ‘giving something up’) is not about doing without something we like, but doing without something we need and the point of fasting is to recognize our dependence on God’s provision of life. Traditionally, fasting from everything except basic food, is done once or twice a week, from sunset to sunset on Mondays to Tuesdays and Thursdays to Fridays. Few of us do this now but I have several friends who adopt a vegetarian diet through Lent or use at least one day as a day of fasting. To feel your own need of something that is basic to life, does allow us to appreciate and focus on those in our world who have nothing, not of their own choice but out of circumstance. At its most basic level, Lent offers a time to reassess how we consume things without much thought - food, drink, clothes, the material things in everyday life. It sharpens the conscience and reminds us of the double standards that erode a proper sense of who and what we are, as we stand before God as part of one human family. Lastly, when we offer our own money to help others in need (almsgiving) we are aligning ourselves to God’s will. Almsgiving can be planned or spontaneous. Either way, it is one of the most countercultural things we can do; it runs away from the default position of human self interest and travels directly towards imitating the generosity of God, from whom we have everything in the first place. This could be a time perhaps to reassess what you give to the Cathedral – never an easy or comfortable question to ask! During this Lent, will God indeed prompt you to review your giving in such a way as to enable the Cathedral to breathe easier and begin to fund its ministry in a new way? Ever since my own ordination, I have chosen to give sacrificially to the churches in which I have served and do so now. I have found it a totally liberating thing to do – unconditional generosity finds its blessing in so many ways. In the end, whatever one does during Lent, it is between the individual and God. However, it is an opportunity to have an ambition and practice for ourselves, engaging in disciplines that remind us of God’s boundless grace, rather than gestures that try to make us the saviours of ourselves. The prayer for the blessing of the ashes on Ash Wednesday sums this up: Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the earth: Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is 4

only by your gracious gift that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Gerwyn

The Archbishop’s Farewell. At the end of January we said a farewell to Archbishop Barry. The service on the 29th January was a wonderful celebration. He has been a strong supporter of the Cathedral throughout his time as our diocesan and as the Primate and it has been the Cathedral’s great privilege to help support him in his Diocesan and Provincial role. Barry’s has wanted to see our ministry thrive at the Mother Church of the Diocese and that has been both a joy and a challenge over the last few years. We are so hopeful that in retirement he will continue to be part of our Cathedral family and we wish him well as he prepares for a new chapter in his own life and ministry. Hilary shared Archbishop Barry’s love and care for the Cathedral and was such a supporter over the years - we continue to miss her a great deal. It is certainly right for us to acknowledge with gratitude the part she played too in our life at Llandaff. I should like as well to offer my own personal thanks to Archbishop Barry for supporting me as Dean and on behalf of us all, to express profound gratitude to God for his vision, scholarship and pastoral concern as our bishop. Above all perhaps, we thank Archbishop Barry for his unwavering friendship as a guide and fellow traveller in the Gospel.

FRENCH ORGAN WORKS DURING LENT Performed by the Cathedral Director of Music

Stephen Moore, the Cathedral Director of Music, will perform important and influential Organ works by a French master on Sundays during Lent. Stephen will play the Trois Chorals of César Franck after 3.30pm Choral Evensong on Sundays 5, 12 and 19 March.

Franck set about composing the set of Chorals at the suggestion of his publisher Auguste Durand. He began them whilst on summer holiday at Nemours and completed them on return to Paris – the third and last being dated September 30 1890. On October 2 he played them on a piano for his organ class at the Paris Conservatoire with one of his students taking the pedal part. Franck had been recovering from an accident the previous May which had left him seriously weakened and a chill taken at the beginning of October soon developed into pleurisy. Despite this, he insisted on returning to the organ loft of Sainte-Clotilde on October 20 to determine the registration of the Chorals before returning home to his bed, dying on the morning of November 8. The Chorals have nothing to do with Gregorian chorales or German hymns, as Bach would have understood them, rather that Franck employed chorale-like melodies to serve as the basis for each of the three, before developing them during each piece. Franck tried to explain to his students that “You will see, the choral is not the thing itself – the true choral becomes clear in the course of the work.” The first, E Major Choral, provides a difficulty in equating exactly what Franck has taken from pre-existing choral models. It opens with a broad melody that can be analysed into seven thematic cells, of which only the last – a six bar phrase – resembles what J.S Bach would have considered a “choral”. The work then proceeds through an ever more fantastic and chromatic series of variations, in which one or more of the cells is involved. The compositional and harmonic language becomes more adventurous until the Bach-like fragment is proclaimed Tutta forza and exultant. Choral II is much simpler than the first. There is an easily identifiable theme used almost throughout the entire work which appears with different harmonies and melodies. The development of the theme is

12 interrupted several times, most notably, by a section with a new theme which is combined later with the main theme; by a soft, slow section with wonderful harmonies and melodies which appears in the middle and end of the piece; and by two loud, virtuosic sections, the last of which leads to the last statement of the theme. It is, perhaps, surprising that Franck ended this choral quietly by stating again the slow, soft section. Franck's manner of ending the piece seems "right" and natural, even though it's out of the ordinary. The third and final Choral is by far the easiest to understand. There are main "ideas" in operation: fast moving notes which outline chords and slow moving chords which present the choral melody. These are combined in the last magnificent section of the piece. (As in the other two chorales, Franck has unified two different entities by combining them.) The third main idea occurs in the middle of the piece in a section which uses a very tender and beautiful melody, and again, like in the first and the second, the main "choral" theme is stated triumphantly at the end.

All of these organ works are extended in nature, and so if you do not wish to stay and listen at the conclusion of each service we ask that you leave quietly so as not to disturb those who do. Stephen Moore

LLANDAFF CATHEDRAL CHORAL SOCIETY A VERY SPECIAL CONCERT On Saturday April 8th the Llandaff Cathedral Choral Society will be giving a performance of Bach's St Matthew Passion. This magnificent work is the "big brother" of the St John Passion, but is less often performed because of the large forces which it demands. This is therefore a rare opportunity to hear what is possibly Bach's greatest masterpiece, and to do so in the stunning setting of Llandaff Cathedral. This performance marks the 10th anniversary of the appointment of our Principal Conductor, Dominic Neville, and promises to be a really memorable occasion. More details will follow shortly, but meantime please put the date in your diary, and we very much hope you will be able to join us for this very special event. Sue Smith 13

CHRISTIAN AID WEEK 14-20 May 2017 As I write, it is January; and, just as in 2016, the sky is leaden and on the days when the temperature rises above freezing, the rain falls. But as you read, we shall be in March, the days will be longer, and - who knows - the weather may be warmer and less wet. But what is certain is that the month of May will be approaching, bringing Christian Aid Week around once again. The result we achieved in 2016 was amazing: in total we raised over £10,800, - the only church in to have raised more than £10,000 in Christian Aid Week. Many, many thanks to everyone who made this stunning result possible. Last year the house-to-house collection raised over £7,700, which by itself was £600 more than the whole total raised in 2015! It is SO worth doing, not least because some of the money comes from people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to give. But house moves, increasing age etc. mean that our band of collectors diminishes a little each year, and once again we need some new collectors. IT’S NOT A BIG COMMITMENT – ONLY ABOUT 3 HOURS IN CHRISTIAN AID WEEK ITSELF. It can be done in the evenings, so is compatible with working, and you will be supplied with everything you need for the collection. Please consider if you could offer your help. For more information or to sign up, please contact Sue Smith at [email protected] or on 20569234. THANK YOU! Sue Smith

at Llandaff Cathedral, Saturday 29th April 2017 A day of Latin for beginners with George Sharpley

Spend a day sampling classical Latin, with insights into lives of the writers; discover the Latin words behind English and Welsh ones, see how the language works, and hear Latin poems, all in a day!

One of the brightest lights of our emergence from the so-called Dark Ages was the introduction of Latin in the of Europe. From this grew schools and universities, most of which have long since parted with their founders. Latin was the lingua franca of medieval Europe, when monks and churchmen were trained to write Latin in order to produce the religious, administrative and legal texts required of the time. And when the day job was done, they turned to the earlier classical writings of Virgil, Ovid and others who reflected values of a quite different world; but they were too good to ignore. Stories of mischievous gods and whimsical goddesses were accepted as allegories. And now Latin is to be presented again in these wonderful settings! Not only were churches responsible for teaching classical literature, they also preserved the books in their historic libraries.
