(next page for verse 5) [Congregation in unison] 5 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God?s right hand on high; where like stars his children crowned all in white shall wait around.

Therefore let us read and mark in Holy Scripture the tale of the loving purposes of God from the first days of our disobedience through the glorious Redemption brought us by this holy Child; and let us make this church, dedicated to his great apostle Paul, glad with our carols of praise: But first, let us pray for the needs of the whole world; for peace on earth and goodwill among all his people; for unity and understanding within the Church he came to build, and especially in our sister parish of San Lucas y San Pablo in Bridgeport; in the Episcopal Church in Connecticut, and in the town and county of Fairfield. And let us remember, in his name, those that he loves most fervently: the poor and the helpless, the cold, the hungry, and the oppressed; the sick and them that mourn, the lonely and the unloved, the aged and the little children; all those who know not the Lord Jesus, or who love him not, or who by sin have grieved his heart of love. Lastly, let us remember before God all those who rejoice with us, but upon another shore, and in a greater light, that multitude which no one can number, whose hope was in the Word made flesh, and with whom in the Lord Jesus we are one for evermore. These prayers and praises let us humbly offer to God, in the words which Christ has taught us: ¶ All, together Our Father, w ho art in heaven, hallow ed be thy Name, thy k ingdom come, thy w ill be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as w e forgive those w ho trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the k ingdom, and the pow er, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. ¶ The Rector continues May Almighty God give us grace: May Christ give us the joys of everlasting life: and unto the fellowship of the citizens above may the King of Angels bring us all. Amen. ¶ The Congregation may be seated CAROL William Mathias (1934-1992) Nowell. Who is there that singeth so, Nowell? I am here, Sir Christémas. Welcome, my Lord Sir Christémas!

In fact the Christmas season ends on February 2, with the celebration of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, or Candlemas, and the themes of light from darkness, of God with us and the joy of sharing in the life of God are reflected in the liturgy and music of the season, together with a new understanding of what humanity’s new dignity means for all of us.

We are very grateful to you for coming to share with us in this great occasion which is an act of worship for us here in Chapel as well as for the millions who will join us around the world. Before the service begins, please note the following requests: To a radio audience, coughing is a particular distraction, much more so than to others in the Chapel. You are therefore asked to keep any such sounds to an absolute minimum, and to make sure that bags, sticks etc. are placed safely on the floor. Please double-check that your mobile phone is turned off. The same applies to chiming watches or other devices which are likely to be heard by sensitive microphones. Please put your contribution to the collection, which goes to support the work of the Chapel, in the Gift Aid envelope that you will find in this order of service, and add it, duly completed, to the collection as you leave. In the unlikely event of an emergency requiring us to evacuate the Chapel please follow the directions of the stewards, and remain as quiet and calm as possible.

  • The Choral Music of Francis Grier
    HUTCHENS II, ROBERT BENJAMIN, D.M.A. The Choral Music of Francis Grier. (2006) Directed by Dr. William P. Carroll. 111 pp. English composer Francis John Roy Grier (b. 1955) has a large and mostly unexplored opus. He has composed sixty-three works including thirty-nine for chorus, nine for organ, six for voice, three for violoncello, an opera, a string quartet, and one each for trumpet, viola, piano, clarinet and speaker, and vocal duet. His compositions synthesize modern British compositional practices with those of other Western composers while paying homage to the various characteristics of the music of the East. Grier’s music is unique, most notably, because of his combination of English cathedral music, French impressionism, and Indian musical elements. This document includes a brief sketch of the life and a detailed examination of the choral works of Francis Grier. In addition to this author’s analysis, the primary sources for this document are interviews with Francis Grier and the commissioners of his works. Chapter I of this study includes a brief biography of Francis Grier’s life. This includes details of his formal education, past and current musical positions, and discussion of his mid-life career change to becoming a psychoanalyst. Chapter II provides a detailed description of Grier’s a cappella works organized alphabetically; each work is discussed individually. Chapter III presents a similar analysis of the remainder of Grier’s small-scale, accompanied choral works. Chapter IV presents a summary of Grier’s compositional style and conclusion. Four appendices complete this study: Appendix A lists Grier’s choral works by title; Appendix B, by composition date; and Appendix C, by performing forces.

In a rare Vancouver appearance, revered Director of Music, Dr. Stephen Cleobury, will lead the iconic choir of Men and Boys in a mixed programme of repertoire from across the centuries. “Founded by King Henry VI in 1441, The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge has been a center for musical excellence for over 600 years. Its alumni include literally hundreds of important musicians who, in their time as choir members, received a unique and rigorous training preparing them for professional careers in music,” explained Matthew White, Early Music Vancouver Artistic Director. “The contributions of this institution to international-music making have been profound. For many years, Vancouver’s very own music scene was lucky enough to be led by an ex-choral scholar at King’s College Cambridge. Choral Conductor, Bruce Pullan, a beloved figure in this city, was President of the Vancouver Academy of Music from 1993 to 1997, Professor and Head of Choral Music at the University of British Columbia, and conductor of the Vancouver Bach Choir.
