ALL SAINTS CHURCH WORCESTER C Sunday, September 15 - Christmas Eve, 2019 September 15-Christmas Eve, Sunday, The Choir of All Saints Church All Saints of Choir The HORAL HORAL Organist and Director of Music and Director Organist Graeme McCullough McCullough Graeme Assistant Organist Michael Celularo Celularo Michael M USIC All Saints Church All Saints Church was the first Episcopal church established in the city of Worcester, beginning with a small gathering in the Town Hall on December 13, 1835. The name All Saints Church was adopted in 1843 and on June 10, 1846, the first service was held in the first Episcopal building on Pearl Street. A fire destroyed that building on April 7, 1874. A new church building on the present site was consecrated in 1877. Fire struck again in 1932 and destroyed all but the tower, spire, and some exterior walls. On Easter Sunday, 1934 the first service was held in the present building. With its rich carvings of wood and stone and its glorious stained glass windows, All Saints Church has been described by many as one of the most beautiful churches in New England. It is the largest Episcopal church in the Diocese of Western Massachusetts, and as the architects for this Gothic Revival building were Frohman, Robb and Little of Boston, designers of the National Cathedral in Washington DC, our building has many similarities to that majestic cathedral. The Rice Memorial Organ at All Saints is one of the most celebrated in North America. Built by the Aeolian-Skinner company of Boston, opus 909 was an early success in the career of the company’s visionary tonal director, G. Donald Harrison. Pursuing an organ that could ‘speak fluent French’, Harrison succeeded in creating a sound that married an abundance of French brilliance with a bold English-tinted American accent. This was to delight generations of visiting French organists, from Marcel Dupré to Pierre Cochereau, and continues to enthral audiences and congregation alike today. The Choir of All Saints Church At the heart of the church’s musical activity is the choir, whose main duty is to provide appropriate music for the liturgy at Sung Eucharist every Sunday. Other duties include singing Choral Evensong once a month, as well as on major feast days, weddings, funerals, and concerts. In addition to its weekly liturgical duties at All Saints, the choir performs regularly in Worcester and in Boston. It has also performed further afield at Washington National Cathedral, New York City’s Carnegie Hall and St. Thomas Church, Fifth Avenue, as well as venues elsewhere in the United States and Canada. The choir has also toured internationally, and in recent years has made a number of visits to the U.K. and Ireland. The All Saints Choir is unusual in that it maintains a choir of boy and girl choristers to sing the treble part, with adult volunteers singing the lower three parts. Entry is by audition, and the boy and girl choristers start their training with a probationary year, when they learn about the routines and repertoire of the choir, and are given a firm grounding in vocal technique and sight-reading. This training has led several generations of graduates to notable careers in music, both within New England and beyond. The choir is particularly proud of the musical connections that they maintain, especially their affiliation with the Pakachoag Music School of Greater Worcester and The Royal School of Church Music in America. The Director of Music, Graeme McCullough, is always happy to meet potential singers for an informal discussion at any time. Auditions take place throughout the year. All of the following services are at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays and are sung by the Choir of All Saints Church unless otherwise stated. 15 September - The Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost J.S.

    10 FEBRUARY 2019 the 5 TH SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY Organ Voluntary Pastorale Preces

    10 FEBRUARY 2019 ✝ THE 5TH SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY SOLEMN EVENSONG ✝ 4:30 PM It is a great pleasure to welcome you to St. James’ Church. If you do not already have a church home we invite you to worship with us as often as you would like and to consider joining our parish family. Evensong in an Anglican Church is a magnificent act of worship. Sung daily since the sixteenth century, this service is one piece of the total worship of God offered by Christian people at every hour of the day and night in every part of the world. Drawn almost entirely from the Bible, its primary purpose is to proclaim the wonderful works of God in history and in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Its secondary purpose is to evoke from the worshiper a response of praise, penitence, prayer and obedience. This is a service of Choral Evensong in which much of the music is sung by the Choir to classical and often elaborate settings dating from the time of the English Reformation (and earlier) to the present day. The form of our worship is drawn from the first Prayer Book of King Edward VI (1549) and subsequent revisions. We invite you to join silently in worship with the Choir, while they sing the prayers, Psalms, canticles, responses and other music. Please join the Choir in singing the hymns, the Creed, and in adding the Amen to the said prayers. Organ Voluntary Pastorale Music: David Conte (b. 1955) All stand as the procession enters the church.

Since its foundation in 1441 by the 19-year-old King Henry VI, choral services in the Chapel, sung by this choir, have been a fundamental part of life in the College. Through the centuries, people from across Cambridge, the UK and, more recently, the world have listened to the Choir at these services. Today, even people who aren’t able to attend services in the Chapel have heard King’s Choir, thanks to its many recordings and broadcasts, and the tours that have taken it to leading international concert venues around the world. Despite its deep roots in musical history, the Choir has always been at the forefront of technological innovation, and records exclusively on its “impeccable” own label. 2 100 YEARS OF NINE LESSONS & CAROLS The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge David Willcocks conductor | Director of Music, 1957–1974 Philip Ledger conductor | Director of Music, 1974–1982 Stephen Cleobury conductor | Director of Music, 1982–2019 3 VOL 1 | New recordings 48:30 Conductor, Stephen Cleobury 1 O Holy Night | Adolphe Adam, arr.
