  • Choral Evensong the 18Th Sunday After Trinity
    ST EDMUND HALL Choral Evensong The 18th Sunday after Trinity Speaker: The Revd Anthony Buckley Being oneself, changing the world 11 October 2020 6.30 pm What is Evensong? Evensong is one of the Church of England’s ancient services. It provides an open and generous space for quiet and reflection, for song and speech and prayer, as it draws from biblical readings, canticles, and the Church’s long tradition of hymns. All are welcome. Many have said, “Prayer is the key to the day and the lock to the night.” In the Anglican tradition, daily prayer is set at morning and evening for precisely this purpose: to give the opportunity to greet each new day as a divine gift and to prepare our hearts and minds for rest each night. It is founded in a sense of gratitude and wonder, and centred on the faith of Jesus Christ. We invite everyone to join in, as they are able, by listening attentively to the choir, readers, and ministers, and by saying together with us those prayers that are marked in bold: the Lord’s Prayer, the Grace, and the Amens. This year, we are meeting in many locations, not just in the Chapel. Space is primarily limited to the choir, readers, and speaker, but contact the chaplain to enquire about seating. Those who cannot join us in person may do so by Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87112377996?pwd=bm9zMWZreEl4M1RiK2to OXNvNW9aZz09 Please join us for drinks after the service. Speaker Our speaker this evening is the Revd Anthony Buckley, Vicar of St Michael at the North Gate.

  • The Plight of Anglican Church Music in the Western Cape: Three Case Studies
    THE PLIGHT OF ANGLICAN CHURCH MUSIC IN THE WESTERN CAPE: THREE CASE STUDIES Levi Eudo Alexander Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Choral Conducting) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Martin Berger March 2021 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Levi Alexander March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Music ministries still providing Anglican church congregations with traditional Anglican church music find themselves clutching onto a musical tradition in a church plagued by the increasing secularisation of society. This thesis, in three case studies, investigates the musical output and general daily function of three Anglican churches in the Western Cape by interviewing the rector and music director of each parish. Each parish was selected as it presented a varied historical, musical, liturgical and churchmanship culture. The aim of the thesis is to ascertain, primarily, whether traditional music is under threat of falling into disuse in the church and secondly, if traditional music is indeed under threat, the possible measures which could be implemented to preserve the heritage for future generations of Anglican worshippers.
