LESSON: Job 4.1-6,12-21 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered [Job]: “If one ventures a word with you, will you be offended? But who can keep from speaking? See, you have instructed many; you have strengthened the weak hands. Your words have supported those who were stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees. But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed. Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope? Now a word came stealing to me, my ear received the whisper of it. Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on mortals, dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake. A spirit glided past my face; the hair of my flesh bristled. It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, then I heard a voice: ‘Can mortals be righteous before God? Can human beings be pure before their Maker? Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error; how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth. Between morning and evening they are destroyed; they perish forever without any regarding it. Their tent-cord is plucked up within them, and they die devoid of wisdom’.” Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

  • Music Listening for the Easter Season David Hurd, Mus.D
    Music Listening for the Easter Season David Hurd, Mus.D. Organist and Music Director Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, NYC This article continues a series begun during Holy Week, intended to highlight musical compositions which might normally be experienced live, but cannot be at this time due to our need to refrain from gathering. As with the two previous articles, I offer some background on selected compositions and their composers, the texts of the works, and links to YouTube performances so that the music can speak for itself. This is, of course, only a small sampling of the vast musical resources which exist, much as any liturgy is but a small piece of the worship which might be offered. My hope is that this small sampling of Easter music may be useful in focusing devotion and meditation on the great themes of this vibrant season the Church year. Prelude and Procession The late medieval hymn O filii et filiae is certainly one of the great songs of the Easter season. Its history is complex, but its words come to us clothed in a melody thought to be of French folk origin. The Hymnal 1940 (#99) presented this hymn in a nine-stanza form as translated by John Mason Neale (1818–1866). The music, as arranged by Winfred Douglas, has the triple-meter feeling of a carol. The Hymnal 1982, however, presents O filii et filiae in two distinct forms. At #203 one finds five stanzas, corresponding to stanzas 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9 of Neale’s translation in the 1940 edition.

  • Since You Asked... I Hear That Choral Evensong Is Being Revived in Some
    Since you asked... William Wunsch, organist and choirmaster at St. Nicholas Church in Encino, Calif., who also serves as the editor of The Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians and was the editor of Wonder, Love, and Praise a supplement to The Hymnal 1982, responds: I hear that Choral Evensong is being revived in some Episcopal parishes. What is the history of Choral Evensong and its significance today? The Canonical Hours are daily times of prayer, historically offered in an orderly course eight times each day. As services apart from the Eucharist, these Daily Offices include psalms, canticles, antiphons, responsories, hymns, versicles and responses, readings, and prayers. Since 1549, with the first prayer book of the Anglican Communion, this cycle of eight offerings of daily prayer has been simplified and telescoped to form liturgies called Morning and Evening Prayer, or Matins and Evensong. This corporate worship, offered twice a day, includes the recitation of psalms, the reading of Scripture, the singing of canticles and prayer. A hymn may be sung after the collects. Choral Evensong is sung Evening Prayer; the choir sings the preces and responses, the psalmody, the canticles (Magnificat and Nunc dimittis) and an anthem while the congregation participates vicariously -- listening attentively to the choir’s and precentor’s offering of music and to the proclamation of the Scriptures. In the Daily Office, the church offers perpetual praise, thanksgiving and prayer to God. Time is sanctified by this continuous offering. In the Baptismal Covenant, we promise, with God’s help, to continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in these prayers.

REPORT FROM THE EDITOR OF THE HYMNAL 1982 The publication of the Hymnal 1982 is the result of a process that began more than a decade ago. The 1982 General Convention approved the texts of the Hymnal and authorized the completion of pew and accompaniment editions. The Standing Commission on Church Music, in order to accomplish this task, relied on preparatory work of commissions appointed by authority of prior General Conventions. In 1970, the Commission was authorized to "collect and publish materials for use by the church." This action led directly to the publication of the looseleaf collection, Songs for Liturgy and More Hymns and Spiritual Songs, produced under the editorship of the Rev. Dr. Norman Mealy and of the late Dr. Lee Hastings Bristol. Subsequent commissions were responsible for a second supplement to the Hymnal 1940 and the six volumes in the Church Hymnal Series.
