  • Westminster Abbey 2013 Report to the Visitor Her Majesty the Queen
    Westminster Abbey 2013 Report To The Visitor Her Majesty The Queen Your Majesty, The Dean and Chapter of the Collegiate Church of St Peter in Westminster, under the Charter of Queen Elizabeth I on 21st May 1560 and the Statutes graciously granted us by Your Majesty in a Supplemental Charter on 16th February 2012, is obliged to present an Annual Report to Your Majesty as our Visitor. It is our privilege, as well as our duty, now to present the Dean and Chapter’s Annual Report for the Year of Grace 2013. From time to time, the amount of information and the manner in which it is presented has changed. This year we present the report with more information than in recent years about the wide range of expertise on which the Dean and Chapter is able to draw from volunteers sitting on statutory and non-statutory advisory bodies. We also present more information about our senior staff under the Receiver General and Chapter Clerk who together ensure that the Abbey is managed efficiently and effectively. We believe that the account of the Abbey’s activities in the year 2013 is of wide interest. So we have presented this report in a format which we hope not only the Abbey community of staff, volunteers and regular worshippers but also the wider international public who know and love the Abbey will find attractive. It is our daily prayer and our earnest intention that we shall continue faithfully to fulfil the Abbey’s Mission: — To serve Almighty God as a ‘school of the Lord’s service’ by offering divine worship daily and publicly; — To serve the Sovereign by daily prayer and by a ready response to requests made by or on behalf of Her Majesty; — To serve the nation by fostering the place of true religion within national life, maintaining a close relationship with members of the House of Commons and House of Lords and with others in representative positions; — To serve pilgrims and all other visitors and to maintain a tradition of hospitality.

  • The Bach Experience
    Marsh Chapel at Boston University THE BACH EXPERIENCE Listeners’ Companion 2018|2019 THE BACH EXPERIENCE Listeners’ Companion 2018|2019 Notes by Brett Kostrzewski Contents Foreword v September 30, 2018 Herr, gehe nicht ins Gerichtmit deinem Knecht BWV105 1 November 18, 2018 Schauet doch und sehet, ob irgendein Schmetz sei BWV46 5 February 10, 2019 Herr Jesu Christ,wahr’ Mensch und Gott BWV 127 9 April 7, 2019 Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben? BWV8 13 Foreword The 2018–2019 Bach Experience at Marsh Chapel marks my fourth year of involvement as annotator, and the second that we have produced this expanded Listeners’ Companion. I remain as grateful, as I was in 2015, for Dr. Scott Allen Jarrett’s invitation to contribute my writing to the Bach Experience, and I am honored to share with you the fruits of my continued study of Johann Sebastian Bach’s remarkable corpus of church cantatas. This year’s Bach Experience divides neatly into two pairs. The first two cantatas were heard on successive Sundays in Leipzig—on 25 July and 1 August 1723, respectively—and you are fortunate to hear them in succession here. The pair, composed only two months after Bach took on his post as Thomaskantor, represent two of his finest accomplishments of the genre, all the more remarkable for appearing on ordinary Sundays in the middle of the summer. I point out some of the compositional elements that link the two cantatas; perhaps you will discover more. The second pair of cantatas were composed during Bach’s second full year in Leipzig, when he took to composing a complete cycle of cantatas primarily based on Lutheran chorales, known as his “chorale cantatas.” I often find the chorale cantatas difficult to write about at length; while their technical aspects are fascinating, particularly Bach’s integration of the chorale melodies, I find their aural experience far more rewarding than anything I could contribute in these notes.
