Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!” Joyful, all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies, With th’angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!” Hark! the herald angels sing! “Glory to the newborn King!” Christ, by highest heav’n adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord! usic of hristmas Late in time, behold him come, Offspring of a virgin’s womb. M C Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail th’incarnate Deity, Pleased with us in flesh to dwell Jesus, our Emmanuel, Hark! the herald angels sing! “Glory to the newborn King!” Hail the heav’nborn Prince of Peace, Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Ris’n with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth, Hark! the herald angels sing! “Glory to the newborn King!” THE ANTHEM ~ “One Sweet Little Baby” MCCLURE & KINNESON ~ Arranged by SHAWN KIRCHNER O Mary, shining glory! The Lord smiles upon you. What a blessing is this little baby that you brought to our world, Refrain: O all for the love of one sweet little baby, All for the love of one sweet baby child, All for the love of one sweet little baby, we have come so far. O, a good old man named Simeon said, “I’m never gonna rest till I see that Messiah child and hold him to my breast.” Many gonna speak against you, child, they’ll crucify all that’s true. And your mother Mary she will bear a pain that will pierce her heart through. O Jerusalem, your children are so tired of war, My Lord, it’s time to walk with your children once more. The Sixth Scripture Matthew 2: 1-11 ~ The wise men are led by the star to Jesus. THE ANTHEM ~ “Personent Hodie” 13th Century Processional ~ Arranged by LARA HOGGARD The Adult and Senior High Choirs Let youthful voices resound today joyfully praising him who is born for us, who is given unto us by the most high God, and brought forth from a Virgin. He is born in the world, is wrapped in swaddling cloths, and placed in a manger in a stable of beasts. He is the Ruler over all things. (The Prince of Darkness thus has lost his prey!) Three wise men come, bearing gifts. They have found the babe by following a little star. Adoring the Lord, they offer him gold, incense and myrrh. Let all the young choristers now sing as did the angels, praising him who has come into the world: “Glory to God in the Highest!” The Seventh Scripture John 1: 1-14 ~ John unfolds the great mystery of the Incarnation. THE ANTHEM ~ “I Will Light Candles This Christmas” ~ KIM ANDRÉ ARNESEN Boosey & Hawkes (London) I will light candles this Christmas; candles of joy despite all sadness, Candles of hope where despair keeps watch, candles of courage for fears ever present, Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days, candles of grace to ease heavy burdens, Candles of love to inspire all my living, candles that will burn all year long. When the song of the angels is stilled, when the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, when the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: to find the lost, to heal the broken, to feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, to rebuild the nations, to bring peace among others, To make music in the heart. THE ANTHEM ~ “Hallelujah!” from Messiah ~ G.F. HANDEL The Adult, Senior High and Junior High Choirs Hallelujah! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever. King of kings, and Lord of lords. Hallelujah!

My mouth derides my enemies; I rejoice in God’s salvation. My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior, who looks upon a lowly handmaid with favor. All generations shall call me blessed. My heart o’erflows, Alleluia! THE PRELUDE ~ “In Whom the World Rejoices” ~ ARRON POWELL There is none holy like the Lord; there is no rock like our God. Let not your mouth be arrogant, for the Lord is a God of all knowledge. For God who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is God’s name. And God’s mercy is giv’n to God’s people THE CALL TO WORSHIP ~ Dr. Sean Michael Lucas, Senior Pastor from generation to generation. Congregation: My heart o’erflows, Alleluia! THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN ~ “Once in Royal David’s City” ~ Arranged by DAVID WILLCOCKS The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble put on strength. Those who were full are hungry, and those who were hungry The Adult, Senior High and Junior High Choirs with the Ensemble and Elaine Clowers, Soloist Oxford University Press are filled. Strong is the arm of the Lord, who has scattered the proud in their hearts; God has put down the mighty and lifted those of low degree. Once in royal David’s city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her Baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s and on them God has set the world. The Lord kills and brings to life; God brings low and He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall; with the also exalts. God lifts up the poor from the dust to sit with rulers and inherit a seat of honor. Strong is the arm of the Lord, who has poor and mean and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. scattered the proud in their hearts. God has filled the hungry, and the rich have been sent empty away. Congregation: My heart o’erflows, Alleluia! And through all his wondrous childhood he would honour and obey, love and watch the lowly maiden, in whose gentle arms he lay; Christian children all must be mild, obedient, good as he. God will guard the faithful flock, and human might shall not prevail. The Lord will judge the earth; and will exalt the pow’r of God’s anointed. For the Lord has helped the servant Israel in remembrance of God’s love and mercy, which was promised to Sarah and For he is our childhood’s pattern, day by day like us he grew. He was little, weak and helpless, tears and smiles like us Abraham, and to their children’s children forever. he knew; and he feeleth for our sadness, and he shareth in our gladness. Congregation: My heart o’erflows, Alleluia! And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love, for that Child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 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 The Fourth Scripture like stars his children crowned all in white shall wait around. Luke 2: 1-7 ~ Luke tells of the birth of Jesus.

Garrett, Director | Michelle J. Crews, Piano In the first light of the new day no one knew he had arrived. Things continued as they had been, while a newborn softly cried. But the heavens, wrapped in wonder, knew the meaning of his birth. In the weakness of a baby they knew God had come to earth. Down in Bethlehem, there in a manger, sleeping in a trough of hay, He’s the Holy Child, the long-awaited One, born to us on this day. Alleluia! The Son of God is born in Bethlehem. Alleluia! Our blessed Redeemer and the Great I Am.

It has nurtured generations of Old Cliftonian musicians including Boris Ord, the one-handed Dr Douglas Fox (famed for his radio broadcasts and recitals), C.S. Lang, and Sir David Willcocks himself. More recent alumni organists include Charles Matthews (winner of the Franz Liszt Organ Competition), Andrew Nethsingha (Director of Music at St John’s College, Cambridge), and current Oxbridge organ scholars. All have benefited from the four-manual organ in the College chapel, still maintained by its original maker, Harrison and Harrison.

  • Perspectives on Church Music #5
    PERSPECTIVES ON CHURCH MUSIC By Carl Schalk Lessons from Christmases Past In the countless services of "Lessons and Carols" held in countless churches throughout the worlds this past Advent and Christmas season, most, if not all, have included the singing of the anonymous 18th-century carol "O Come, All Ye Faithful." My guess is that the arrangement sung in the majority of those services was that of David Willcocks, long-time conductor of the choir of choir of men and boys at Kings College, Cambridge, England, published over a half a century ago. Willcocks' setting is worthy of careful examination by church musicians, both for what it does and for what it doesn't do, for its beauty, but especially for its utter simplicity. The first five stanzas are set to one simple harmonization for either organ ort choir. Stanza six introduces a treble descant, at the same time maintaining the basic harmony with only a few slight modifications. Then stanza seven, the final stanza, begins with the organ in unison. The second phrase ends on the dominant chord, the pedal descending through the seventh degree of the scale, moving toward what one expects to be the tonic in first inversion. Instead, in a moment of genius, Willcocks chooses a diminished minor 7th chord, on "Word" in the phrase "Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing." By any standard it is a most arresting moment, the harmonic high point of the carol. One lesson this Willcocks arrangement teaches us is that it takes only one striking chord to make a significant impression.

  • PROGRAM NOTES by Linda Russell Mary Walks Amid the Thorn German
    PROGRAM NOTES by Linda Russell Mary walks amid the thorn German traditional In each verse of this sixteenth-century German carol appears the words Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy) from the Mass. The text is a reverent description of Mary and baby Jesus; the melody embodies a folk-like character. Maria walks amid the thorn, Kyrie eleison. Maria walks amid the thorn, Which seven years no leaf has born. Jesus and Maria. What 'neath her heart doth Mary bear? Kyrie eleison. A little child doth Mary bear, Beneath her heart He nestles there. Jesus and Maria. And as the two are passing near, Kyrie eleison, Lo! roses on the thorns appear, Lo! roses on the thorns appear. Jesus and Maria. Mary had a Baby Christmas Spiritual The spiritual Mary had a Baby may have originated on St. Helena Island, off the coast of South Carolina. Slave traders first brought people from Sierra Leone to this island in the 1500s to work in the rice fields. Exposed to Christian church music, the African-Americans combined Christian concepts and texts with their traditional African music. The song uses a “call and response” format where one person makes a statement and the other voices answer. Mary had a baby, my, Lord. What did she call him? my, Lord. She called him King Jesus, my, Lord. Personent hodie voces puerulae (from Piae Cantiones, 1582) arr. Hoggard/Russell Both the tune and text for our processional are found in Piae Cantiones, a collection of anonymous Latin school and religious songs compiled by a Finnish student in 1582.

  • HOWELLS Missa Sabrinensis
    HOWELLS Missa Sabrinensis The Bach Choir BBC Concert Orchestra David Hill conductor HYPERION CDA68294 Herbert Howells (1892-1983) like his friend Vaughan Williams, was not a believer, yet he created a vast amount of religious music for the Anglican church, seeing in the text architecture of ‘immemorial prose’. David Willcocks commissioned the Missa Sabrinensis (Mass of the Severn) for the 1954 Worcester Three Choirs Festival. After its premiere it had few performances until October 1982 when the Bach Choir performed it at the Royal Festival Hall in celebration of Howells’s ninetieth birthday (available on YouTube). Why this should be is a puzzle. It is a challenging work for performers with its complex contrapuntal textures, requiring artists of high calibre and adequate rehearsal time. But it is a masterpiece, one of the great works of 20th century choral music. Although some portions of the work are reminiscent of Vaughan Williams, Holst and Walton that is only because their works are more familiar. Howells was his own man and there was a reason Bliss in his autobiography described Howells as ‘the outstanding talent’ of his generation. In a letter to Walter Emery, Howells described his overall vision, ‘Each [movement] builds itself in obedience not only to the text but to the logical sequence of purely musical ideas’. In this recording Mr Hill and his performers allow us to hear and appreciate Howells’ magnificent detail in all its glory. ’The logical sequence of purely musical ideas…’ is laid before us as impressive as a medieval cathedral; ornate, intricate and wholly satisfying as a work of art.

  • Sir David Willcocks (1919-2015)
    MONDAY 11 JANUARY 2016 | 7.30PM WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL HALL LONDON SW1 SIR DAVID WILLCOCKS (1919-2015) MUSICAL DIRECTOR OF THE BACH CHOIR (1960-1998) A CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE SIR DAVID WILLCOCKS CBE MC Musical Director of The Bach Choir for 38 years, and Conductor Laureate from his retirement in 1998 until his death in 2015, David Willcocks was not only responsible for taking the Choir to new levels of excellence during his time at the helm, but was also a very good friend to many of the Choir’s singing and associate members. David Willcocks became Musical Director of The Bach Choir in 1960, on the strong recommendation of Adrian Boult (himself a previous Musical Director), after the then MD, Reginald Jacques, was forced to resign due to ill health. His first concert with the Choir – a performance of Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast and the Mozart Requiem – was very well received by the critics, the Times describing it as ‘exhilarating’ and going on to say that David Willcocks ‘had every reason to be satisfied with his new choir, and the choir with its new conductor’. In his book The Bach Choir: The First Hundred Years Dr Basil Keen wrote: ‘Willcocks was soon pointing the Choir in new directions by programming Honnegger’s King David and Howells’ Hymnus Paradisi in his first season, and Delius’s Sea Drift, Janáček’s Glagolitic Mass, Walton’s Coronation Te Deum and Fricker’s Vision of Judgement in his second. A successful innovation was his decision to invite children on to the platform to sing carols with the Choir during the Family Carol Concert.’ Through David’s connections with Benjamin Britten, The Bach Choir sang on the first Decca recording of the War Requiem with Britten conducting; this went on to sell 200,000 copies in the first five months after its release and is still the seminal recording today.
