  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

And so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, that we may obtain forgiveness by his infnite goodness and mercy. Silence is kept. Offciant and People together, all kneeling Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

  • Using Your Book of Common Prayer - Daily Office 101
    St. Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral March 3, 2020 Using Your Book of Common Prayer - Daily Office 101 We have a treasure in the Book of Common Prayer (BCP)! With the BCP each of us can continue our worship and join other Episcopalians around the country and Anglicans around the world by praying the Daily Office. The Daily Office is an ancient practice that utilizes daily prayers to mark the times of the day. For Episcopalians/Anglicans, this generally comes in the form of the two main offices of Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer, although there are also prayer offices to mark noonday and one to make the close of the day, which is known as Compline. The BCP also has a shortened version of the offices to mark the hours known as “Daily Devotions for Individuals and Families.” These short prayer services are for Morning, Noon, the Early Evening, and the Close of the Day. There are multiples places to access the Daily Office, including both online as well as the actual Book of Common Prayer. If you’re online, the Daily Office may be found at the following sites, among others: • Forward Movement.org - https://prayer.forwardmovement.org/ , then click Pray the Daily Office from the left side of the screen and you will be taken to that day’s Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer or Compline, depending on the time of day. You may also pray Daily Devotions for Individuals and Families at this site https://prayer.forwardmovement.org/the_chapel.php • Mission St. Clare - https://www.missionstclare.com/english/ or https://www.missionstclare.com/espanol/index.html (in Spanish), then select “Calendar for March, Rite II” (or whatever the current month), find the day’s date and select ‘Morning’ to access Morning Prayer https://www.missionstclare.com/english/March/whole/morning/13m.html or ‘Evening’ to access Evening Prayer https://www.missionstclare.com/english/March/whole/evening/13e.html; there are also options for Daily Devotions and other resources available on this site.
