Morning Worship

Column by MARY LEE TALBOT

he 10:45 a.m. Sunday morning service of worship and sermon allowed Chautauquans to experience the divine through sight, sound and movement. TThe stage from the previous night’s performance of Carmina Burana provided the Trinity Movement Choir space to show the congregation that the body is as much a part of worship as the soul. The Chautauqua Choir and the Roches- ter Oratorio Society provided an even larger sound than is normally enjoyed by the Chautauqua congregation. And the Rev. Dwight D. Andrews brought his own blend of words and music to the platform as he played the saxo- phone obbligato for the morning anthem and preached a sermon titled “Call and Response: The Spirituals and the Blues.” His texts were Psalm 137: 1-9 and Romans 12:1-12. “I am in a long line of Congregationalist preachers, and we don’t do a lot of call and response,” he said. “I am trying to add a few African-American church practices, and one of these is to get feedback from the congregation. These are coded responses, but they are meaningful.” When the people in the congregation say “Amen, Rev, BRIA GRANVILLE | Staff Photographer Amen” they mean that the preacher is doing alright. When Week Five chaplain Dwight D. Andrews delivers a sermon about they say “Tell it like it is,” they want you to say more. When spiritualism in relation to the blues Sunday morning in the Amp. they say “Make it plain,” it means the preacher is getting a little off track.

Andrews said the times are such that even the blues have “When I was young, we said a guy was ‘really cool’ the blues. meaning he was a hip person,” Andrews said. “Then the “The violence in our churches and theaters shows there is word ‘chillin’ ’ came along meaning to relax and now it is so much need and neglect,” he said. just ‘illin’.’ ” He asked the congregation if anyone had ever had the Andrews called Psalm 137 coded speech, ancient blues. blues and then said, “Everyone’s hands should be up.

Cat Hardesty was seated at the front of the stage providing sign interpretation of the service. Peter Steinmetz served as cantor for Responsorial Psalm 23, “Good Shepherd, Guide Me” by Laurel Elizabeth Whitney. The Trinity Movement Choir from Trinity Episcopal Church, Wall Street, performed “Reconciliation” created for the 10th anniversary of 9/11. The music for “Reconciliation” was the “Agnus Dei” from Samuel Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” from the second moment of his String Quartet, Op. 11. The Chau- tauqua Choir was joined by the Rochester Oratorio Society to sing the “Agnus Dei;” Eric Townell, artistic director of the Rochester Oratorio Society, conducted. Andrews joined the Chautauqua Choir and Jared Jacobsen to perform the anthem “Steal Away” arranged by Howard Helvey. Andrews played the saxophone obbligato. The Trinity Movement Choir also participated in the anthem. The Rochester Oratorio joined the Chautauqua Choir for the offertory anthem, “Alleluia,” by Randell Thompson. Eric Townell conducted both groups. The organ postlude was “Final” [Symphonie I, vi] by Louis Vierne. The Edmund E. Robb-Walter C. Shaw Chaplaincy provides sup- port for this week’s services.
