Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele BWV 654 Bach During the singing of the Psalm, the Paschal Candle leads the ministers of the liturgy to receive Peter’s ashes at the baptismal font. All rise as able, turn and face the font. Introit Processional Psalm 121 (1962, rev. 1978) Hallock Sung by the Cathedral and Compline Choirs I lift up my eyes to the hills; from where is my help to come? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved and he who watches over you will not fall asleep. Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep; The Lord himself watches over you; the Lord is your shade at your right hand, So that the sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; it is he who shall keep you safe. The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time forth for evermore.

The Reception of Ashes Bishop With faith in Jesus Christ, we receive the ashes of our brother Peter. Let us pray with confidence to God, the Giver of life, that he will raise him to perfection in the company of the saints. Silence is kept. Deliver your servant, Peter, O Sovereign Lord Christ, from all evil, and set him free from every bond; that he may rest with all your saints in the eternal habitations; where with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The ashes are sprinkled with water from the baptismal font and censed with incense. The Paschal Candle leads the ashes into the Cathedral. Solemn Procession I saw a new heaven and a new earth (1979) Hallock Sung by both choirs, the Compline Choir in procession conducted by Carl Crosier, Peter's friend and business partner of 40 years. Carl was choirmaster of the Lutheran Church of Honolulu for 38 years I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had all passed away, and the sea was no more. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven prepared as a bride adorned. I heard a voice from the Throne saying: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.” God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more. I heard a great voice from the Throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is with men; he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people.” To the thirsty I give water from the fountain of life. Night shall be no more, for the Lord God will be their light and they shall reign for ever. I heard a great voice from the Throne saying, “Behold, I am coming soon; I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.” —Revelation 21:1-4, 6-7

3 Collect for the Departed Bishop The Lord be with you. Assembly And also with you. Bishop Let us pray. O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of your servant Peter, and grant him an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

All are seated for the readings.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD After each reading, the lector says: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. All respond Thanks be to God. First Reading Isaiah 58:1a, 8-12 Shout out, do not hold back! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday. The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail. Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.

Psalm 116:10-17 Hallock The cantor sings the antiphon; all repeat. The choir sings the verses; all repeat the antiphon.

How shall I repay the Lord for all the good things he has done for me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord. ANTIPHON I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his servants. ANTIPHON O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds. I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon the Name of the Lord. ANTIPHON I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, in the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! ANTIPHON

4 Second Reading 1 Peter 1:22—2:9 You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God. For “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” That word is the good news that was announced to you. Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, and all guile, insincerity, envy, and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in scripture: “See, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” To you then who believe, he is precious; but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the very head of the corner,” and “A stone that makes them stumble, and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

After a brief silence the bishop stands; all rise as able. Gospel Acclamation The Lord is my light Hallock Sung by the Cathedral Choir The Lord is my light, the refuge of my life and my salvation; of whom then shall I be afraid? If I take the wings of the morning, or go up into heaven, your right hand will hold me. In the shadow of your wings I will rejoice and bless your holy Name; and I will sing of your glory, O Lord my strength, as long as I live. — Psalm 27:1; 139:8; 63:4, 7

The Gospel Matthew 16:15-23

Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus an- swered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you.” But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”

5 Sermon Dean Thomason

All rise as able. The Apostles’ Creed (chanted by all on a monotone) I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Prayers of the Assembly Leader For our brother Peter, let us pray to our Lord Jesus Christ who said, “I am Resurrection and I am Life.” Leader Lord, you consoled Martha and Mary in their distress; draw near to us who mourn for Peter, and dry the tears of those who weep. Assembly Hear us, Lord. Leader You wept at the grave of Lazarus, your friend; comfort us in our sorrow. Assembly Hear us, Lord. Leader You raised the dead to life; give to our brother eternal life. Assembly Hear us, Lord. Leader You promised paradise to the thief who repented; bring our brother to the joys of heaven. Assembly Hear us, Lord. Leader Our brother was washed in Baptism and anointed with the Holy Spirit; give him fellowship with all your saints. Assembly Hear us, Lord. Leader He was nourished with your Body and Blood; grant him a place at the table in your heavenly kingdom. Assembly Hear us, Lord. Leader Comfort us in our sorrows at the death of our brother; let our faith be our consolation, and eternal life our hope. Silence is kept. Bishop Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to you our brother Peter, who was reborn by water and the Spirit in Holy Baptism. Grant that his death may recall to us your victory over death, and be an occasion for us to renew our trust in God’s love. Give us, we pray, the faith to follow where you have led the way; and where you live and reign with God and the Holy Spirit, to the ages of ages. Amen.

6 The Peace Presider The peace of the Lord be always with you. Assembly And also with you. All greet one another in the name of the Lord.

The Liturgy of the Table An offering of money is received. The offering will support the founding of the Hallock Insti- tute, a shared ministry of the Compline Choir, Saint Mark’s Cathedral, and Diocese of Olym- pia, for which Peter made provision in his last will and testament. Three primary functions of the institute are to ensure that Peter Hallock and his music is known and readily available in af- fordable, reliable performance editions; ensure that Peter’s works are performed regularly by offer- ing grants to churches and performing organizations to help underwrite the cost of hiring musi- cians; and, ensure that the Compline Choir and its core values and principles—the Compline ethos—are identified, celebrated, and shared with others through workshops, symposia, and other educational opportunities. Please give generously; make checks payable to ‘The Hallock Institute’.

Offertory Anthem Phoenix (1975, rev. 1982) Hallock Sung by the Cathedral Choir Awake, my soul; awake, lute and harp; I will awake the dawn. As the Phoenix wings from the woodland tree, swift of pinion, soars to the sky, so will I rise and give thanks to you, O Lord; for your kindness towers to the heavens; your faithfulness to the skies. O rising Sun, most radiant angel, God of God, true Son of the Father, ever Lord of celestial light, send the bright sun, illumine those in darkness, in eternal night. O Savior, Lord, help us put down the prince of death. Let thy handiwork mount up on high as that blessed bird, when a thousand winters have waxed and waned and life ends, the balefire burns, that blessed bird rises again out of the ashes transformed, restored. Savior of souls, speak; with the sounding trumpet awake—thy bitter passion by the Father’s grace was given new life. As the Phoenix with youth refashioned out of the ashes wakes again, to the life of life by God’s grace (the body’s death). Our eager flight, our hymns, our songs rise to praise the Lord in his glorious Kingdom—that lovely city—world without end. Awake, my soul; awake, lute and harp; I will awake the dawn. — From an Old English Christian poem “The Phoenix”; tr. Charles W. Kennedy (alt.), and Psalm 108:2; 36:5

Please rise as able as the bread and wine and money we offer to God are brought forward and presented at the altar. The Great Thanksgiving Eucharistic Prayer B, The Book of Common Prayer

God

7 It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, through Jesus Christ our Lord; who rose victorious from the dead, and comforts us with the blessed hope of everlasting life. For to your faithful people, O Lord, life is changed, not ended; and when our mortal body lies in death, there is prepared for us a dwelling place eternal in the heavens. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Sanctus (A Simple Missa Brevis) Hallock

You are invited to stand or kneel for the continuation of the Eucharistic Prayer. We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation: in the calling of Israel to be your people: in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In Him you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In Him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life. On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” After Supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”

8 Bishop

All

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine. We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen.

The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

The bread is broken and the bread and wine are prepared for sharing. Fraction Anthem Easter Canticle (1970) Hallock Verses are sung by the Compline Choir; Alleluias are sung as indicated Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; therefore let us keep the feast, Not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. All repeat the Alleluias Christ is risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. All repeat the Alleluias —Pascha nostrum, based on 1 Corinthians 5:7, Romans 6:9, and 1 Corinthians 15:20

9 Invitation to Communion Bishop The gifts of God for the people of God.

All who seek God and a deeper life in Christ are welcome to receive Communion. Please gather around the liturgical platform, as directed by the ushers. If you need communion brought to you at your seat, please let a verger or an usher know. Hold out your hand to receive the bread and then eat. Guide the chalice to your mouth and then drink. Or you may leave the bread in your hand for the chalice bearer to dip it in the wine and feed you. To receive a blessing instead of communion, simply cross your arms over your chest. Rice wafers for those with wheat allergies are available at the communion station at the front left (southeast) corner of the liturgical platform. Communion Anthems I will magnify your name, O God (1989) Hallock Sung by the Cathedral Choir I will magnify your Name, O God. While I live I will sing your praise. You have delivered my soul from the power of the grave; you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from falling. Proclaim the greatness of the Lord. Sing the wonders of his love. “For Ralph Carskadden: this is but a small thing to express mine and the choir’s appreciation and gratitude for the glimpses you have given of us of how the ordinariness of our worship has had the potential to be transformed as it is the unique capacity of great art and great artists to transform the ordinary into something of transcendent value and meaning. It is also to share the pain of recognizing that the opportunity for such transformation and transcendent experience is considered by so many to be an expendable luxury.”

Come, Holy Spirit (1979) Hallock Sung by the Compline Choir Come Holy Spirit and wound us and make us whole. Come Holy Spirit and smite us and give us peace. In your hands we rest, in the cup of whose hands an ark sailed rudderless and without mast. In your hands we rest, and own a providence as large as sea and sky that could make of the aimless wandering of the ark a new beginning for the world. In your hands we rest, ready and content this night. To see thee is the end and the beginning. Thou carriest me and thou goest before. Thou art the journey and the journey’s end.

Please remain seated to sing the following hymns. Communion Hymn Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness (The Hymnal 1982 #339)

10 11 Communion Hymn Come, my way, my truth, my life (The Hymnal 1982 #487)

All rise as able. Prayer after Communion Assembly Almighty God, we thank you that in your great love you have fed us with the spiritual food and drink of the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ, and have given us a foretaste of your heavenly banquet. Grant that this Sacrament may be to us a comfort in affliction, and a pledge of our inheritance in that kingdom where there is no death, neither sorrow nor crying, but the fullness of joy with all your saints; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

The Commendation The Compline Choir sings the Kontakion as the procession moves to the Compline Corner. Give rest, O Christ, to your servant with your saints, where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting. You only are immortal, the creator and maker of mankind; and we are mortal, formed of the earth, and to earth shall we return. For so you did ordain when you created me, saying, “You are dust, and to dust shall you return.”All of us go down to the dust; yet even at the grave we make our song: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Give rest, O Christ, to your servant with your saints, where sorrow and pain are no more, neither sighing, but life everlasting. —Kontakion for the Departed (Kievan Chant), ed. Jason A. Anderson

12 The Consecration of the Niche Bishop O God, whose blessed Son was laid in a sepulcher in the garden: Bless, we pray, this niche, and grant that he whose ashes will rest here may dwell with Christ in paradise, and may come to your heavenly kingdom; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Assembly Amen.

The Committal Dean In sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, we commend to Almighty God our brother Peter: earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The Lord bless him and keep him, the Lord make his face to shine upon him and begracious unto him, the Lord lift up his countenance upon him and give him peace. Assembly Amen. The Compline Choir director places the urn. Dean Rest eternal grant to him, O Lord, Assembly And let light perpetual shine upon him. Dean May his soul, and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. The Compline Choir sings Hallock’s ‘Marilyn’ setting of the Nunc dimittis from 1984 Lord, let your servant part in peace, your word is now fulfilled. These eyes have seen salvation’s dawn, this child so long foretold. This is the Savior of us all, the Gentile’s promised Light, God’s glory dwell- ing in our midst, the joy of Israel. All glory to the Father be, all glory to the Son, All glory Holy Ghost to thee, while endless ages run.

The Episcopal Blessing

The God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be among you, and remain with you always. Amen.

15 Peter Rasmussen Hallock 19 November 1924 — 27 April 2014 Peter R. Hallock—mystic, solitary, composer, organist, liturgist, and countertenor forever linked to Saint Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral, Seattle—died of congestive heart failure on Sunday afternoon, April 27, 2014. He had just returned to his beloved home in Fall City, Wash., after a lengthy hospital- ization. He was 89. The youngest of five children, Peter was born on November 19, 1924 to George Oakley Hallock and Estella Rasmussen Hallock. Peter’s brother George and sister Peggy preceded him in death. He is survived by his sisters Matilda Ann Milbank of Los Altos, Calif., and Barbara Hallock of Kent, Wash., and several nieces and nephews and a growing number of grandnieces and grandnephews. At age five, Peter’s parents enrolled him in piano lessons, and sent him, along with his siblings, to Sunday School and worship at Saint James Episcopal Church in Kent, Wash. By the age of 12, Peter was playing the organ there. He was active and creative from an early age, not just in music, but also arts and crafts, weaving, letter writing, puppeteering, and soap box derby car racing. He served as a chaplain’s assistant and sharpshooter during World War II. After the war, he re-en- rolled at the University of Washington and resumed organ performance, composition, and music studies. Though he had completed all required coursework by 1949, eighteen months of government- paid education remained, so Peter enrolled at the College of Saint Nicolas of the Royal School of Church Music, then based in Canterbury, England. He became the first American Choral Scholar at Canterbury Cathedral. In June 1951, he completed both the RSCM program and was graduated from the UW with a Bachelor of Arts in Music degree. Later, in 1958, he took the Master of Arts in Music degree from the UW. Among his many contributions to local and national church music traditions are the introduction of countless audiences in the United States to the countertenor voice and founding the chant study group that eventually became known as the Compline Choir—an ensemble that has led to a resur- gence of interest in the Office of Compline. He also fought successfully for installation of the Flentrop tracker-action organ at the cathedral, making Saint Mark’s the first Episcopal cathedral to have such an instrument. He developed the Advent and Good Friday Processions and introduced liturgical dra- mas at the cathedral. Perhaps his greatest contribution to church music was composition and publi- cation of The Ionian Psalter. Peter began work as organist/choirmaster at Saint Mark’s Cathedral on October 28, 1951, a position he held until 1991. He was named Canon Precentor, the first layperson in the Episcopal Church to hold such a title; he received two Bishop’s Crosses, was named an Associate of the Royal School of Church Music, and was granted a Doctor of Church Music degree honoris causa by Church Divinity School of the Pacific. In 1992, at the invitation of the Rev. Ralph Carskadden, Peter became organist at Saint Clement of Rome Episcopal Church, Seattle, a position he held until March 2013. Peter directed the Compline Choir until June 2009. Though Hallock’s music, creativity, innovations, and contributions to church music are notable, his greatest legacy is the community and family of musicians, mystics, solitaries, composers, weavers, theologians, humanists, agnostics, acousticians, “sound nuts”, chefs, gardeners, nature lovers, and lovers of beautiful things with whom Peter cultivated lifelong friendships. Whether meeting him in the office, organ loft, or his home, following his direction in a rehearsal or performance, sharing a martini over lunch or dinner, exchanging letters or emails, weaving with him at the loom, hiking or walking with him along a nature trail, digging in the dirt with him in his Japanese garden, or collabo- rating with him on a recording or video project, it was the friendship that mattered most. By Jason Allen Anderson Peter Hallock’s Biographer, Friend, and Caregiver and second director of the Compline Choir
