Chapel Royal Hampton Court CHAPEL ROYAL HAMPTON COURT SERVICES FOR JANUARY and FEBRUARY 2019 0 1 WELCOME WELCOME to Her Majesty’s Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace for this service, and to a continuous tradition of worship that has been practised on this site for at least 800 years. This is one of the Queen’s Chapels, and as such, not a parish church. The original chapel was founded by the Knights Hospitaller long before Cardinal Wolsey began rebuilding it in 1528. The fine vaulted ceiling, dating from 1535, was the major addition by Henry VIII. Most of the chapel furnishings date from the late 17th and early 18th century and were designed by Sir Christopher Wren. The organ (although much altered and re-built) essentially dates back to 1711 and retains not only its fine case but much original pipework. The Chapel Royal was not originally a building but a body of priests and singers that traditionally accompanied the monarch wherever he or she went. Only later did the buildings this body used become known by that name. Today, as well as Hampton Court, there are Chapels Royal at The Tower of London, The Queen’s Chapel of the Savoy, and St James’s Palace, which is the headquarters of the Chapel Royal. Services in all of Her Majesty’s Chapels are based on those from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, and you will have been handed an Order of Service with this booklet. The Chapel Royal has an unrivalled continued tradition of choral music. Many of the greatest English composers have worked and composed pieces in and for this place, Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, and Purcell among them. It is, therefore, wholly appropriate that worship is enhanced by music, which now may come from the English or European choral traditions. The texts are sung in their original language, usually English or Latin. This booklet contains the details of that music, as well as the hymns and lessons for each choral service. These are correct at the time of publication. The hymns can found in the green New English Hymnal. In a tradition begun at the start of the Great War, we always end by singing the National Anthem, asking God to send his blessings upon the Queen. 2 Sunday 6 January The Epiphany of the Lord 8.30am Holy Communion 11.00am Sung Eucharist sung by the Gentlemen Setting Mass for four voices Byrd Hymns 425, 52, 295, 49i Epistle Ephesians 3: 1-12 Gospel Matthew 2: 1-12 Preacher The Rev’d Tristan Chapman Motet Reges Tharsis Byrd Voluntary (CJ) Carillon on ‘Orientis Partibus’ Wills 3.30pm Choral Evensong sung by the Gentlemen Responses Tallis Hymns 46ii, 47 Psalm 97 (p. 470) Fletcher First Lesson Isaiah 60: 1-9 Setting Sumsion in G Second Lesson John 2: 1-11 Anthem Resonet in laudibus Lassus Voluntary (WF) Finale Thiman Tuesday 8 January St Lucian 12.30pm Holy Communion Wednesday 9 January Feria 8.30am Holy Communion Thursday 10 January Feria 12.30am Holy Communion 3 Reges Tharsis William Byrd (1538-1623) Reges Tharsis, et insulae munera offerunt, Reges Arabum et Sabba, donna adducent, Et adorabunt eum omnes Reges terrae, Omnes gentes servient ei.

When Jesus our Lord Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) When Jesus, our Lord, was born in Bethlehem, in the land of Judea; Behold, from the east to the city of Jerusalem there came wise men, and said: ‘Say, where is He born, the King of Judea? for we have seen His star, and are come to adore Him.’ There shall a star from Jacob come forth, and a Sceptre from Israel rise up, And dash in pieces Princes and Nations. How brightly shines the morning star! With sudden radiance from afar With light and comfort glowing! Thy Word, Jesus, inly feeds us, Rightly leads us, Life bestowing. Praise, O praise such love o’erflowing. 6 Saturday 19 January 3.30pm Choral Evensong In memoriam Claire Conley Hill Music played before the service Prelude & Fugue in G minor BuxWV 149 Buxtehude Responses Leighton Hymns 243, 461 Psalm 100 (p. 473) Hancock First Lesson Proverbs 3: 1-8 Setting Dyson in D Second Lesson James 3: 13-18 Anthem All wisdom cometh from Moore the Lord Voluntary (WF) Litanies Alain 7 All wisdom cometh from the Lord Philip Moore (b. 1943) All wisdom cometh from the Lord, And is with Him for ever. Who can number the sand of the sea And the drops of rain And the days of eternity? Who can find out the height of heav’n, And the breadth of the earth And the deep and wisdom. Wisdom hath been created before all things And the understanding of prudence from everlasting. The word of God most high is the foundation of wisdom, And her ways are everlasting commandments. To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? Or who hath known her wise counsels? There is one wise and greatly to be feared, The Lord sitting upon his throne. He created her, and saw her and number’d her, And poured her out upon all his works. She is with all flesh according to his gifts, And he hath given her to them that love him. The fear of the Lord is honour and glory and gladness, And a crown of rejoicing. The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart And bringeth joy and gladness and a long life. Teach me O Lord the way of thy statutes: And I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding and I shall keep thy law; Yea I shall keep it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the way of thy commandments: For therein is my desire. O stablish thy word in thy servant: That I may fear thee. Behold my delight is in thy commandments: O quicken me in thy righteousness. 8 Sunday 20 January Epiphany II 8.30am Holy Communion 11.00am Choral Matins Responses Byrd Hymns 393, 57, 55 Psalm 27 (p. 376) Hopkins, Wolstenholme First Lesson Isaiah 62: 1-5 Te Deum Service in C Britten Second Lesson John 2: 1-11 Jubilate Service in E flat Britten Anthem Videntes stellam Poulenc Preacher The Chaplain Voluntary (WF) Exultet F.

  • PMMS Tomas Luis De Victoria Discography May 2020
    Tomás Luis de Victoria Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber The Victoria Masses and Officium Hebdomadae Sanctae have existed as working lists for many years. The discography has been refreshed from the original records and newly reformatted to match the Du Fay and Josquin des Prez discographies previously posted on this website. There are 20 authentic Masses and the dubious Missa Dominica; all of them have been available on records since 1999. Victoria set the Magnificat 18 times, but only 11 settings are known to be represented among the 35 recordings. There are 16 settings in all the modes, both odd and even verses; another setting in the first mode is through-composed for eight voices, and a setting in the sixth mode is through- composed for 12 voices. Four recordings not heard have not been identified as odd-verse or even- verse polyphony. The motets and other works are identified according to the Pedrell edition; only four motets and an antiphon have not been recorded, as noted. Discographies of the Magnificats and the Masses were published on this site in January 2019. The other works have been newly compiled. Classical-discography.org, Michael Gray’s website, has provided additional details. Additional entries were found in the discography published by Eugene Casjen Cramer in 1998. The recordings of each work are arranged chronologically, citing conductor, ensemble, date of recording if known, and timing if available; then the format of the recording (ac, 78, 45, 33, LP, LP quad, MC, CD, SACD, DVD), the label, the issue number(s), titles of collections, and track or band numbers.

  • The Role of Music and Musicians in Current English Parish Church Worship: the Attitudes of Clergy and Organists
    The Role of Music and Musicians in Current English Parish Church Worship: the Attitudes of Clergy and Organists Robin Lodowick Douglas Rees B.Sc., M.Phil. (Lond.), C.Phys., M.Inst.P., M.B.C.S., A.Cert.C.M. Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Music University of Sheffield December 1990 2 THE ROLE OF MUSIC AND MUSICIANS IN CURRENT ENGLISH PARISH CHURCH WORSHIP: THE ATTITUDES OF CLERGY AND ORGANISTS R.L.D. REES ABSTRACT One of the many issues currently confronting the Church of England is the role of music in worship. It is not a new debate, but has been brought into sharper focus in recent years in the wake of liturgical change. After examining the fundamental issues of the debate, the author considers them in the context of the present day. Other current matters of concern will also be discussed. The effects of liturgical change are then considered. The discussion is then widened to include: - a review of current hymnals and psalters; - a survey of the courses and qualifications in church music available in Great Britain; - three case studies demonstrating the problems that can arise when clergy and church musicians are in conflict; - a review of surveys in church music undertaken since 1950. The main work comprises a detailed survey by questionnaire to the priest-in-charge and organist at almost half the churches in a large diocese (that of Oxford). This yields an overall picture of: - respondents' personal backgrounds and general attitudes; - respondents' perceptions, both objective and subjective, of the situation at their church, and of each other.

  • Claire Stewart THESIS FINAL 131120
    The impact of the introduction of girl choristers at Salisbury and its influence on other British Anglican cathedral choirs Claire Elizabeth Stewart University of London PhD November 2020 'I, Claire Elizabeth Stewart confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' Claire E Stewart, November 2020 1 To the Choristers, Adult Singers and Organist at Sandringham who show great commitment every week in rehearsals and services. You enrich my life and bring me joy in all our musical offerings together. 2 Claire E Stewart, November 2020 Abstract Abstract The aim of this thesis has been to examine the effects that the introduction of girl choristers has had on the all-male tradition that hitherto characterised the Anglican cathedral choir. Arguably, the future of any tradition relies on the success of the present generation for its survival and continuity. That should not imply that the tradition remains identical as in past generations, but rather that a tradition should be able to respond and, if necessary, embrace new ideas. The thesis provides an historical context for the widely reported and seemingly ground-breaking initiative at Salisbury Cathedral in the early 1990s. Through the analysis of contemporary texts, related literature, interviews, a small-scale survey and three illustrative in-depth case studies (Salisbury, Lincoln and Lichfield), the thesis reviews the background to this choral development and explores the immediate and subsequent impact across the sector. The initiative at Salisbury was not (and in some instances is still not) without controversy and so opportunity is taken in the text to rehearse examples of these conflicting views by drawing on contemporary commentary, in part by using the lens of Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT).
