  • The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I
    The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I Edited by Theodore Hoelty-Nickel Valparaiso, Indiana The greatest contribution of the Lutheran Church to the culture of Western civilization lies in the field of music. Our Lutheran University is therefore particularly happy over the fact that, under the guidance of Professor Theodore Hoelty-Nickel, head of its Department of Music, it has been able to make a definite contribution to the advancement of musical taste in the Lutheran Church of America. The essays of this volume, originally presented at the Seminar in Church Music during the summer of 1944, are an encouraging evidence of the growing appreciation of our unique musical heritage. O. P.

  • Anxiety Can Visit but Not Rule
    1 April 2020 Anxiety Can Visit but Not Rule The disciples were afraid. How could they not be! They were in a small boat that was sinking because of a brutal storm. The wind was howling and the waves were crashing and filling the boat! On top of this, Jesus was asleep in the stern! Did he not care? How could he sleep? “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” “Peace! Be still!” After the calm registered in the eyes and minds of the terrified disciples, Jesus said, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” (Mk. 4:35-41). This was not the only time that anxiety, or fear, visited the disciples. The Bible is filled with many others who feared greatly for their lives, feared that God had forsaken them, feared that they were doomed. Read the Psalms! It seems that anxiety sprang upon the earth the moment Adam crunched his teeth into the forbidden fruit. “I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself” (Gen. 3:10). Adam was right to be afraid of God in his sin, but with the promise of the seed of the woman, the Christ, anxiety was not to be his Lord, nor ours! How many times in the Bible does God say, “Do not fear,” or some variation? A lot! This is his declaration that he is Lord over all, including anxiety. Anxiety has paid us a visit again. The pandemic opened the door. For some, anxiety is more of an obnoxious house guest than for others.

One of these requests had been for an order for saying mass which would conform with the principles of the movement in which they both were so <leeply concerned. Luthre had replied more or less promptly to all of Haus­ mann's requests except the last, and only after repeated urg­ ing by letter, through Stephen Roth, who was studying theology at Wittenberg, and through other friends did Luther meet Hausmann's hope and plea. Luther sent Hausmann a copy of a pamphlet 011 another subject on November 13. 1523, and in the accompanying letter told him that he would send to him a copy of the form of mass which he proposed for the ttse of the Wittenberg church. This may have been ready for printing at the time of writing this letter, for a few weeks later, on December 4, Luther sent Hausmann a printed copy of the Formula mis­ sae et communionis pro ecclesia Wittembergensi. It reached him 011 December 11, and its arrival moved Hausmann to expressions of gratitude, joy, and satisfaction.

Olin miettinyt tiiviin työrupeamani keskellä jatko-opintoja, mutta aihe oli täysin auki. Polun pää puuttui. Al- kuvuodesta 2010 yhtenä arkiaamuna herättyäni ensimmäinen ajatus oli, että tutkimukseni voisi käsitellä ordinaatiokaavoja. Unen sisältöä en muistanut, mutta tunsin välittömästi iloa ajatuk- sesta. Tässä on tie. Tämä ilo on säilynyt koko prosessin ajan väsymyksenkin hetkinä. En ollut aikaisemmissa opinnoissani työskennellyt ordinaatioteeman parissa, mutta virkateologiasta olin aina ollut kiinnostunut. Lähdin töiden ohessa ottamaan asiasta selvää. Pian huomasin, kuinka teema oli hedelmällinen ja Suomessa vähän tutkittu. Esitin ajatukseni prof. Jyrki Knuutilalle, joka innostui välittömästi asiasta. Hän osasi auttaa ratkaisevalla alkuaskeleella eli tutkimustehtävän rajauksessa ja on ollut tukena koko matkan. Kun tehtävä ja dispositio hahmottuivat, otin yhteyttä prof. Miikka Ruokaseen, joka avoimuu- dellaan rohkaisi tutkimussuunnitelman tekemiseen ja dogmatiikan jatko-opiskelijaksi. Luvan jatko-opintoihin sainkin vuoden 2010 lopulla. Prof. Ruokasesta tuli tutkimukseni valvoja. Toi- seksi ohjaajaksi prof. Knuutilan lisäksi nimettiin prof. Risto Saarinen, joka suurella ammatti- taidollaan on ollut apuna tutkimuksen eri vaiheissa. Prof. Ruokasen jäätyä virkavapaalle prof. Pekka Kärkkäinen vei avuliaasti projektin loppuun. Asiantuntevat ja tarkat esitarkastajat dos. Jari Jolkkonen ja dos.

  • Johann Sebastian Bach's St. John Passion from 1725: a Liturgical Interpretation
    Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion from 1725: A Liturgical Interpretation MARKUS RATHEY When we listen to Johann Sebastian Bach’s vocal works today, we do this most of the time in a concert. Bach’s passions and his B minor Mass, his cantatas and songs are an integral part of our canon of concert music. Nothing can be said against this practice. The passions and the Mass have been a part of the Western concert repertoire since the 1830s, and there may not have been a “Bach Revival” in the nineteenth century (and no editions of Bach’s works for that matter) without Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s concert performance of the St. Matthew Passion in the Berlin Singakademie in 1829.1 However, the original sitz im leben of both large-scaled works like his passions, and his smaller cantatas, is the liturgy. Most of his vocal works were composed for use during services in the churches of Leipzig. The pieces unfold their meaning in the context of the liturgy. They engage in a complex intertextual relationship with the liturgical texts that frame them, and with the musical (and theological) practices of the liturgical year of which they are a part. The following essay will outline the liturgical context of the second version of the St. John Passion (BWV 245a) Bach performed on Good Friday 1725 in Leipzig. The piece is a revision of the familiar version of the passion Bach had composed the previous year. The 1725 version of the passion was performed by the Yale Schola Cantorum in 2006, and was accompanied by several lectures I gave in New Haven and New York City.

  • Explanation of the Lutheran Liturgy Based on LSB Divine Service I
    Explanation of the Lutheran Liturgy Based on LSB Divine Service I Prelude . Lighting of the Candles Greeting . Significance of the Day The Divine Service begins with the Hymn of Invocation (or the Processional Hymn, if there is a Procession), which helps set the tone and mood for the worship service, reminding us early on of God's great love through Jesus our Savior. Already, with the Prelude, the organist is directing our attention to the fact that in worship, "heaven touches earth," just as God's Word declares through the Virgin Mary in Luke 1:68: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people." Hymn of Invocation: CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION Congregation shall stand The service continues as we invoke the name of the Triune God, put upon us by Jesus' command in our Baptism (Matthew 28:19) - the name in which we gather. St. Paul captures the eternal significance of our Baptism into Christ when he writes: "as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ" (Galatians 3:27). The sign of the cross may be made as a visible reminder of our Baptism. The congregation responds by saying, "Amen," which means "so let it be!” P In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C Amen. The Exhortation is an invitation to confession. The inspired words of the Apostle John remind us that God is "faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:8-9).
