George Thalben-Ball (1896-1987) Text: Psalm 96:6 “Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old” St. Matthew Hymnal 567 The Hymnal 1982 - #567 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old was strong to heal and save; it triumphed oÕer disease and death, oÕer darkness and the grave. To thee they went, the blind, the deaf, the palsied, and the lame, the leper set apart and shunned, the sick with fevered frame. 2 And lo! thy touch brought life and health, gave hearing, strength, and sight; and youth renewed and frenzy calmed owned thee, the Lord of light: and now, O Lord, be near to bless, almighty as of yore, in crowded street, by restless couch, as by GennesaretÕs shore. 3 Be thou our great deliverer still, thou Lord of life and death; restore and quicken, soothe and bless, with thine almighty breath: to hands that work and eyes that see, give wisdomÕs heavenly lore, that whole and sick, and weak and strong, may praise thee evermore.

  • Evensong 9 August 2018 5:15 P.M
    OUR VISION: A world where people experience God’s love and are made whole. OUR MISSION: To share the love of Jesus through compassion, inclusivity, creativity and learning. Evensong 9 August 2018 5:15 p.m. Evensong Thursday in the Eleventh Week after Pentecost • 9 August 2018 • 5:15 pm Welcome to Grace Cathedral. Choral Evensong marks the end of the working day and prepares for the approaching night. The roots of this service come out of ancient monastic traditions of Christian prayer. In this form, it was created by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 16th century, as part of the simplification of services within the newly-reformed Church of England. The Episcopal Church, as part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, has inherited this pattern of evening prayer. In this service we are invited to reflect on the business of the past day, to pray for the world and for ourselves, and to commend all into God’s hands as words of Holy Scripture are said and sung. The beauty of the music is offered to help us set our lives in the light of eternity; the same light which dwelt among us in Jesus, and which now illuminates us by the Spirit. May this service be a blessing to you. Voluntary Canzonetta William Mathias The people stand as the procession enters. The Invitatory and Psalter Opening Sentence Said by the officiant.

  • 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.

  • BATES, JAMES M., DMA Music in Honor of the Virgin Mary
    BATES, JAMES M., D.M.A. Music in Honor of the Virgin Mary during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. (2010) Directed by Dr. Welborn Young. 50 pp. Veneration of the Virgin Mary was one of the most important aspects of Christianity during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and sacred music of the time incorporated many Marian concepts. The Virgin Mary was considered the greatest intercessor with God and Christ at a time when fear of Purgatory was strong. Prayers and devotions seeking her aid were among the most significant aspects of spiritual life, and texts of this kind were set to music for devotional use. Beyond her identity as intercessor, there were many additional conceptions of her, and these also found musical expression. The purpose of this study was, first, to explore the basic elements of Marian devotion, and, second, to examine how veneration of Mary was expressed musically. Seven musical compositions from c. 1200-1600 are examined as representative examples. The ―Marian aspects‖ of some compositions may be as straightforward as the use of texts that address Mary, or they may be found in musical and textual symbolism. Of special interest is a particular genre of motet used in private devotions. Precise and detailed information about how sacred music was used in the Middle Ages and Renaissance is scarce, but evidence related to this particular kind of devotional motet helps bring together a number of elements related to Marian meditative practices and the kind of physical settings in which these took place, allowing a greater understanding of the overall performance context of such music.
