And although we ought, at all times, humbly to acknowledge our sins before God; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy Word, and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul.

  • The Plight of Anglican Church Music in the Western Cape: Three Case Studies
    THE PLIGHT OF ANGLICAN CHURCH MUSIC IN THE WESTERN CAPE: THREE CASE STUDIES Levi Eudo Alexander Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Choral Conducting) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Martin Berger March 2021 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Levi Alexander March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Music ministries still providing Anglican church congregations with traditional Anglican church music find themselves clutching onto a musical tradition in a church plagued by the increasing secularisation of society. This thesis, in three case studies, investigates the musical output and general daily function of three Anglican churches in the Western Cape by interviewing the rector and music director of each parish. Each parish was selected as it presented a varied historical, musical, liturgical and churchmanship culture. The aim of the thesis is to ascertain, primarily, whether traditional music is under threat of falling into disuse in the church and secondly, if traditional music is indeed under threat, the possible measures which could be implemented to preserve the heritage for future generations of Anglican worshippers.

He is Risen indeed, Alleluia! CAt last the sombre weeks of Lent, which began this year on 14 February, are finally over and we can celebrate the joy of Our Lord’s Resurrection. Once again the choir are singing alleluias, the purple cloths of Passiontide which have covered all our symbols and statues have been removed and the Cathedral is full of flowers and light. The message of Easter is that Christ burst from the tomb, death could not contain him: through Christ’s death on the Cross we are freed from the burden of sin and through his Resurrection we are promised a share in his eternal life. Never again need we be separated from the love of God our Father – we are an Easter people, no wonder we rejoice! Easter is a time for new beginnings and we congratulate the newly baptised and confirmed, praying too for all those who are preparing for marriage or baptism over the coming weeks. This winter seems to have been particularly long and cold - we’re all waiting for the warmer weather - and I pray that the new life and spiritual growth of Easter will soon be reflected in new life and growth in our gardens and the countryside.
