MUSIC AT GRACE A Retrospective 2020 - 2021 WELCOME June 2021 (yes, JUNE!) Dear Friends, Well, the 2020-2021 season was a year with which to reckon! We were largely unable to plan more than a few weeks at a time, and relied heavily, if not totally, on our wonderful Staff Singers. Between September and February, the singers came in every week or two and recorded numerous anthems and hymns for our pre-recorded “Voices of Grace” worship videos. In addition to the Sunday services, we recorded Advent Lessons and Carols, monthly Evensongs, and several services of Compline. Beginning in Lent, the singers, along with clergy and music staff, began live-streaming our Sunday services, singing hymns, Anglican chant psalm, an anthem, and a choral setting of the communion service. We were now singing even more music on a Sunday than pre-pandemic! Our hearts were full on Easter Day, when we welcomed our aged 65+ parishioners in person for worship for the first time since March 2020. Brass, tympani, organ, and voices combined for a glorious celebration. We continued to open in-person worship to our parishioners on a limited basis, and then on the Feast of Pentecost, we once again had a mighty celebration with brass and tympani – opening that service with the hymn “Jesus Christ is risen today!” And on June 6, we re- opened the choir stalls to our wonderful and faithful volunteer choir members, who provide leadership for our summer worship. During this time, our Choristers were able to rehearse off and on, and several of them have joined us to sing for Sunday services or Evensongs. We look forward to the fall of 2022, when we can once again offer a fully-planned choral season, including three concerts presented by Collegium Ancora, ensemble-in-residence at Grace. This booklet is a retrospective of the music we were able to offer, either virtually or in person, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We felt so fortunate to be able to keep making music at Grace to whatever degree was possible, and we are deeply thankful to all those who helped make it happen. We hope that – once again – you will walk through our historic red doors on Westminster Street in downtown Providence for worship, concert, or both! The Reverend Canon Jonathan Huyck+ Rector Vincent Edwards David Heinze Organist and Director of Music Associate Director of Music _____________________________________________________________________________ Worship services and concerts at Grace Church are live-streamed then uploaded to the following social media platforms. We hope you take a moment to explore some of these videos and listen to the wonderful music we were privileged o record and share during the pandemic. @GraceChurchProvidence youtube.com/c/GraceChur chinProvidence vimeo.com/gracechurchprovidence - 2 - MUSIC AT GRACE 2020 - 2021 SEPTEMBER 13 The Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost Virtual Worship O how amiable are Thy dwellings – Ralph Vaughan Williams Draw us in the Spirit’s tether – Harold Friedell Organ Grand Choeur in C, Op. 68, No. 4 – Theodore Salomé SEPTEMBER 20 The Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost Virtual Worship O God, my King – John Amner All Thy works praise Thee, O Lord – Thomas Adams Organ Prelude from Suite in E Major – Everett Titcomb SEPTEMBER 27 The Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost Virtual Worship Unto Thee, O Lord, I lift up my soul – Francis Edward Aulbach There’s a wideness in God’s mercy – Maurice Bevan Organ Chorale-Partita on ‘Herr Jesu Chirst, dich uns zu wend’ – Johann Gottfried Walther SEPTEMBER 29 The Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels Virtual Choral Introit: Hail, glorious spirits – Christopher Tye Evensong Psalm 150 – Sir Charles Villiers Stanford Evening Service in D Major – Sir A.

  • A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire

    A Countertenor's Reference Guide to Operatic Repertoire

    A COUNTERTENOR’S REFERENCE GUIDE TO OPERATIC REPERTOIRE Brad Morris A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2019 Committee: Christopher Scholl, Advisor Kevin Bylsma Eftychia Papanikolaou © 2019 Brad Morris All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Christopher Scholl, Advisor There are few resources available for countertenors to find operatic repertoire. The purpose of the thesis is to provide an operatic repertoire guide for countertenors, and teachers with countertenors as students. Arias were selected based on the premise that the original singer was a castrato, the original singer was a countertenor, or the role is commonly performed by countertenors of today. Information about the composer, information about the opera, and the pedagogical significance of each aria is listed within each section. Study sheets are provided after each aria to list additional resources for countertenors and teachers with countertenors as students. It is the goal that any countertenor or male soprano can find usable repertoire in this guide. iv I dedicate this thesis to all of the music educators who encouraged me on my countertenor journey and who pushed me to find my own path in this field. v PREFACE One of the hardships while working on my Master of Music degree was determining the lack of resources available to countertenors. While there are opera repertoire books for sopranos, mezzo-sopranos, tenors, baritones, and basses, none is readily available for countertenors. Although there are online resources, it requires a great deal of research to verify the validity of those sources.

  • Handel Israel in Egypt

    Handel Israel in Egypt

    Israel in Egypt George Frideric Handel By: Michael C. Lister Israel in Egypt occupies a singular place in the history of Handel’s oratorios. While unique in concept and composition, this work has several characteristics in common with Handel’s most well known oratorio, Messiah, composed three years later. While there is no known librettist attributed to the oratorio, it is interesting to note that Handel had collaborated with librettist Charles Jennens on Saul just prior to beginning work on Israel in Egypt and would return to Jennens to shape the text for his next oratorio, Messiah. It is possible that Jennens influenced Handel’s choice to deviate from the dramatic libretto to a scripture-based libretto that makes no use of a conventional cast of soloists who portray key characters in a series of dramatic events, but rather allows the drama to unfold in a narrative form. The themes of Israel in Egypt continued to resonate in Messiah as well, with the people of God seeking (and receiving) physical deliverance in the former and spiritual deliverance in the latter. Unlike any other of Handel’s compositions, Israel in Egypt relies on choruses rather than solo arias to describe events and conditions surrounding the exodus of the children of Israel from the land of the Pharaohs. Israel in Egypt features the chorus more than any other of Handel’s oratorios, and uniquely employs a significant number of double choruses throughout the work. The expanded role of the chorus, the virtual absence of solo arias, and the unconventional libretto has led scholars to believe that Handel originally envisioned Israel in Egypt to be a series of anthems, similar to his Coronation Anthems, an idea encouraged by the composer’s choice to rework music from his Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline from 1737.
