Thank you. A Notefrom ~ ~ ~ Our Pastor's Message ou,~ CHRISTMAS IS SOMETHING TO SING ABOUTI Every year I either say or hear someone else proclaim that Christmas preparations are a little earlier than the previous year. This year I heard a local radio station play "I'll Be Home For Christmas" on No• vember 10th. And why not? Christmas IS something to sing about. It has been said that there is magic in this season, and although I'm not certain that "magic" is my word of choice, it is a time of miraculous events. Music helps communicate God's story it in a way that is memorable and fresh. It has been said that the earliest Christmas Carols were considered pagan by a Church Council in the mid-Seventh Century and therefore Christians were prohibited from singing these tunes. By the Sev• enteenth Century everyone was having so much joy in singing these carols that the Puritan English Par• liament decided to abolish Christmas altogether. In spite of the fact that the Christmas Holiday was eliminated, people continued to celebrate the birth of Christ. The popularity of the Christmas Carol in• creased and it was in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries that many of our favorite carols were created. That brings us to a fascinating Carol Story regarding one of the most prolific songwriters of all time. His name is Charles Wesley. During Charles' lifetime, he wrote over 600 songs. One of his most famous lyrics is Hark, the Herald Angels Sing, something some theologians proclaim is the entire Gospel of Je• sus in one song. The music for this carol was composed by Mendelssohn almost a hundred years after Charles Wesley wrote the words. How did this come about? Wesley nor Mendelssohn would not have wanted this music to be joined with these words. Mendelssohn, a Jew, had made it very clear that he wanted his music only to be used for secular purposes. Wesley, made it known that only slow and solemn religious music be joined with his words. In the mid Nineteenth Century, long after both composers were dead, an organist named Dr. William Cummings,joined the joyous Mendelssohn music with Wesley's beautiful words to create the carol we know and love today. But what about other works such as The Twelve Days of ChristmaS? That song was originally written as a catechism song for young Catholic children to learn about their faith. The True Love in the song represents God and the many gifts He offers to believers. The partridge in the pear tree is also sym• bolic. Mother partridges will act as decoys to lead predators away from their young. So, the partridge in the carol represents Jesus. Other images also appear: Two turtledoves are symbolic of the Old and New Testaments. The Three French hens are the virtues of Faith, Hope and Love. The Four calling birds represent the four Gospels. The Five gold rings are the first five books of the Old Testament reminding us of the Creation Story ....and the images continue throughout the song. Once we know the story behind The Twelve Days of Christmas it is difficult to hear it without being reminded of a deeper meaning. The stories of Christmas Carols are abundant. I think that the message here is that Christmas is something to sing about. As you experience and feel all the wonder of this glorious season, let us re• member why we celebrate and then let those wonderful feelings flow into our carols and songs. Merry Christmas.

This richly-deserved recognition of his ‘services to choral music’ brought tremendous pleasure and delight to the Choir and College, and to the many more who have attended Chapel services and listened to broadcasts, webcasts and recordings since Stephen became Director of Music in 1982. Since that time, he has chosen and conducted the music for 37 years of choral worship: for Christmas and Easter, as well as for thousands of daily chapel services. The sound of the Choir under his direction has reached the ears and touched the hearts of countless millions of people. Hundreds of boys and young men have been Choristers or Choral Scholars and there have been no fewer than 23 Organ Scholars. His influence as a teacher and a role model to young musicians has been as extraordinary as the way in which he has extended the reach of the Chapel’s music through recording, broadcasting and touring. As the College makes this recording of the Centenary Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols available, we once again salute Sir Stephen’s extraordinary achievements and pay tribute to the qualities of musicianship, leadership, commitment and dedication that lie behind all that he has given, and all that we have so gratefully received.

  • Spotlight on Grace: a Preview of Lessons & Carols
    Weekly E-News from Grace Episcopal Church December 1, 2016 Spotlight on Grace: A Preview of Lessons & Carols Please join us on Sunday, December 4 at 5 PM for A Service of Lessons and Carols for Advent. This moving and beautiful service has its roots (as do many of our services) in England. Here is a bit of history courtesy of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Houston Texas: The Procession with Carols on Advent Sunday originated at King's College, Cambridge, England in 1934, composed by Dean Eric Milner-White (who had also been responsible nine years earlier for the more widely known Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols for Christmas Eve). In his Preface to the Advent Sunday service, Dean Milner- White wrote: 'In the old English liturgies, the Advent Offices made a preparation for the coming of our Lord to this earth far more vivid and eager than those of our present [1662] Prayer Book. So an Advent Carol Service, if without precedent, is not without suitability, if it helps to express "the desire of all nations and ages."' The purpose of the service is 'not to celebrate Christmas, but to expect it.' At Grace, we begin the service with a candle-lit church and the choir gathered in the narthex for the singing of Palestrina's great Matin Responsory. During the hymn "Come, thou, redeemer of the earth" the choir moves into the chancel. What follows is a sequence of readings, hymns and carols, with the choir processing around the nave of the church and singing from various locations.

    A FESTIVAL OF NINE LESSONS & CAROLS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 22, 2013 S T . P A U L ’ S E PISCOPAL C HURCH F AIRFIELD , C ONNECTICUT 2 ELCOME TO THIS SERVICE , which anticipates the great feast of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The liturgy of Lessons and Carols was first used in the chapel of King’s WCollege, Cambridge, on Christmas Eve, 1918, with the candle-lit splendor of the chapel, the prayers and scripture readings, the great hymns and the soaring music of the choir and organ standing in eloquent contrast to the darkness of a cold winter night and the tragic shadows of the recently concluded Great War. The intervening years have seen the worldwide broadcast of this service become a much beloved Christmas tradition. As in 1918, we in our own day turn again to these sacred words and songs in a world troubled by war, natural disaster, violence, and economic uncertainty. Tonight’s service is offered in the spirit of that first service at King’s, as a light shining in the darkness; with fervent prayer for peace, goodwill and understanding among all people rising amidst the strains of glorious hymns and carols. Although much of the music at this service is sung by the choir, the congregation plays a central role. Please listen intently, pray and sing with your heart and voice, as indicated below. Again, welcome ! Of course, a major part of this service involves the joining together of everyone in making a joyful noise to the Lord. Should your child be further inspired to the making of extended joyful noise while others are trying to listen, we do ask that you escort your little one to the gathering area or outside for a brief moment or two until he or she becomes more contemplative.

It was planned by Eric Milner- T White, who, at the age of thirty-four, had just been appointed Dean of King’s after experience as an army chap- lain which had convinced him that the Church of England needed more imaginative worship. (He devised the College’s Advent Carol Service in 1934, and was a liturgical pioneer and authority during his twenty-two years as Dean of York.) The music was then directed by Arthur Henry Mann, Organist 1876–1929. The choir included sixteen trebles as laid down in King Henry VI’s statutes, but until 1927 the men’s voices were provided partly by Choral Scholars and partly by older Lay Clerks, and not, as now, by fourteen undergraduates.

  • A Festival of Lessons and Carols in Preparation for Christmas
    A Service of Lessons AND Carols for Christmas Eve December 24, 2020 at Four O’ Clock in the Afternoon The Episcopal Church of the Messiah P.O. Box 248, Rhinebeck NY 12572 www.rhinebeck-episcopal.org A Note about this service Our service of Lessons and Carols finds its history within the Cathedral tradition of Anglican liturgy and church music. At Christmas Eve in 1880, the Bishop of the Diocese of Truro (England), the Rt. Rev. E.W. Benson, conducted a service he had composed of nine lessons and carols. The lessons were read by various officers of the Cathedral, ranking from lowest to highest, ending with a reading, not surprisingly, by the Bishop himself. This format was adapted in 1918 by the Dean of King’s College, Cambridge, Dr. Eric Milner- White. The Dean took the ‘Truro Lessons and Carols’, composed a Bidding Prayer (the same used this afternoon, with slight variation for custom and the times), and added it to the liturgy. This format has been sung in the College Chapel every year but one since the end of the First World War. In 1954, it received its first broadcast on English television, and since the 1960s has been broadcast every Christmas. It, along with the annual Christmas message from the Queen, has become a well-beloved tradition of the English people and of those living in the British Commonwealth. This service has also become a seasonal tradition in other parts of the Anglican Communion, the Episcopal Church being part of that Communion. While our service today is a wonderful meeting of word and music, Dr.
