    JOURNEY A Communicator for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kingston September 2017 www.romancatholic.kingston.on.ca Happy Anniversaries, Archbishop O’Brien! On Sunday, July 30th, Archbishop Brendan O’Brien celebrated two special anniversaries — thirty years as a bishop and ten years as Archbishop of Kingston — with a Mass and garden party at St. Mary’s Cathedral. Several members of his family travelled from Ottawa and Montreal to join the Archbishop for this special event, including (pictured above, from left to right), his brother, Michael O’Brien, his sister-in-law, Marie O’Bri- en, his sister, Rosemary O’Brien, his brother-in-law, Randal Marlin, his sister, Elaine Marlin, and his broth- er, Gregory O’Brien. Full story and more pictures on page 2 and page 3. photo by Katherine Quinlan JOURNEY Page 2 September 2017 A Reflection on Milestones Archbishop Brendan M. O’Brien It is often said that it is important to celebrate the milestones of life, whether they be birthdays, wedding anniversaries, graduations, retirements, or other special events. Milestones call our attention to life as a journey. Gathering with family and friends to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary, as many did last month to mark Canada’s 150th birthday, is a time to look back over the intervening years and to give thanks for our blessings as we face the challenges of the future. In my own family, this summer brought a succession of milestones, beginning with my mother’s 100th birthday on June 22nd. She is a healthy, active centenarian, and we gathered in Ottawa for two lively celebrations of her big birthday.

  • An Introduction to the Organ Works of Kjell Mørk Karlsen by James D
    Contemporary organ repertoire An introduction to the organ works of Kjell Mørk Karlsen By James D. Hicks lessed with a natural environment of Bstunning, rugged beauty and a cul- ture rich in poetic expression, Norway is also celebrated for its musical heritage. A country that could produce a composer of the stature of Edvard Grieg can also claim composers who have made a sig- nifi cant contribution to the repertoire for the organ. A vibrant school of new music fl ourishes in Norway, and the Oslo-based composer Kjell Mørk Karlsen has fash- ioned a diverse and notable body of work over the course of a distinguished career. Karlsen is a prolifi c artist whose output includes ten orchestral symphonies and eleven oratorios, along with numerous cantatas, concertos, and chamber music. Creating new music for the organ has been an ongoing feature of his endeav- ors, and I recently had an opportunity to discuss this fascinating topic with Kjell Mørk Karlsen Karlsen, about 12 years old, playing oboe Karlsen at the organ in Asker church the composer while on a concert tour in Scandinavia.

  • Norwegian Stone Cathedrals of the End of the 11Th — Mid. 14Th Centuries: Regional Features and European Context
    Западноевропейское искусство Средневековья 345 УДК: 726.5;726.59;726.6 ББК: 85.113(0)4 А43 DOI: 10.18688/aa177-3-34 Kseniia Chemezova Norwegian Stone Cathedrals of the End of the 11th — mid. 14th Centuries: Regional Features and European Context Norwegian stone architecture of the end of the 11th — mid. 14th centuries, closely connect- ed with the rest of Christian world, went along a special development path. The remoteness of Scandinavia from European art centers played a significant role in Norwegian art. It preserved local traditions and defined the specific features of Norwegian art. Despite the extensive histo- riography on Norwegian stone architecture, there are not so many studies which are devoted to the specific features of Norwegian cathedrals. The main group of issues represented in this article is connected with the definition of architectural schools of medieval Europe that influ- enced the appearance of Norwegian cathedrals of the same period. The appearance of the stone architecture in Norway is directly connected with the European construction practice and can- not be considered separately from it. As in the case of the process of artistic form-making, it is obvious that the experience of the visiting masters from England, Scandinavia and Germany was actively used. The foreign influences are generally well known, but issues related to the originality of the Norwegian stone cathedrals were not a subject of a special study. Therefore, the examination of the characteristics of Norwegian cathedral architecture takes on a special topicality. The main task of our research is revealing specific character of Norwegian cathedrals of the 11th — mid.

  • Anglican Choral Evensong and the Church of Norway: Aspects of Integration and Worship Practice
    Anglican Choral Evensong and the Church of Norway: Aspects of Integration and Worship Practice Dissertation in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Experience-based Master in Church Music Programme Jo Coldicott Dalene Supervised by David Scott Hamnes and Karin Nelson. Submitted 15th May 2020 at the Norwegian Academy of Music, Oslo. Abstract Anglican choral Evensong was introduced into the Church of Norway in the late 1960s by Norwegian church musicians. The inspiration for this came from high quality performances in English cathedrals and university colleges; these were the primary encountered sources. Evensong is also widely practised by parish church choirs across the UK and the Anglican Communion and has several recognised and established variations. Only a limited range was introduced to Norway so that current practice does not reflect the full breadth of Evensong from the Church of England. The purpose of this study is four-fold. It is undertaken in order to understand the context into which Evensong is now placed, how the process of introducing Evensong has taken place, through an examination of the changes to the liturgy and performance practice which have occurred, and finally, it is an exploration of possibilities leading to further integration, so that it might be incorporated into the liturgical tradition of the Church of Norway. The material in this investigation is gathered from secondary and empirical sources, including interviews and personal experiences, and information from relevant literature regarding liturgical history. A practical project was set up to explore ideas about choral repertoire and musical identity which could assist in the progression of integration.
