Before each performance the choir knew that Jock would dismiss them and then take a walk in the graveyard prior to taking the podium. We all knew this was a time for him to center on the music which was so deeply embedded in his soul.

  • F:\Wesley\Poetry and Hymns\John Wesley Files\Published Collections
    Arminian Magazine (1785–91)1 [Baker list, #376–84] Editorial Introduction: In 1778 John Wesley began publishing the Arminian Magazine. He had witnessed the success of Calvinist journals like the Christian Magazine and Gospel Magazine, and wanted to provide an alternative monthly publication that would affirm and defend God’s universal offer of salvation. Each monthly installment of the Arminian Magazine had three major sections. First came a prose section that included sermons, spiritual biographies, excerpts from theological tracts, and the like. This was followed by a selection of letters (most written to Wesley) that were judged to be spiritually edifying. The concluding pages of each issue were devoted to poetry. In the first year, as he sought to highlight the distinctive emphases of the Arminian Magazine, John Wesley reprinted nine of Charles Wesley’s polemical poems against predestination from the Hymns on God’s Everlasting Love (1741/42), and one other in this vein from HSP (1740), 136–42. He also began to publish (without attribution) a series of other poems by Charles that had not appeared in print before. Nor was Charles the only family member to appear in the initial volume. The very first item of verse was Samuel Wesley Sr.’s extended piece “Eupolis’s Hymn to the Creator” (1:39ff). A bit later John inserted a poem by Samuel Wesley Jr. honoring their father (1:141–42). And he also included six poems by their sister Mehetabel (neé Wesley) Wright; one of which was being published for the first time (see 1:186ff). In addition to items by family members, John Wesley inserted in the early volumes of the Arminian Magazine several poems that had been long-time personal favorites, drawing them from transcriptions in the manuscript Poetry Miscellany he collected during his student days at Oxford.

    The Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost September 27, 2020 10:00 a.m. At-Home Packet Moses Strikes the Rock in the Wilderness, by Marc Chagall Source: Flickr St. Mark’s Episcopal Church | 2128 Barton Hills Drive | Austin, TX 78704 512.444.1449 | www.stmarksaustin.org GATHERING Preparing for Virtual Worship Set up a space in your home for worship and prayer. Light a candle, set out a cross or icon to help you focus; set your phone on Do Not Disturb, wash your hands. Take a few deep breaths and say a short prayer to prepare your heart to “enter” a different kind of space. We recommend the Collect for Purity: Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. Prelude: Ciacona in E Minor, BuxWV 160 Dietrich Buxtehude Praeludium in C Major, BuxWV 137 Buxtehude (1637-1707) was organist, choirmaster, and treasurer of the great St. Mary’s Church in Lübeck, Germany. His artistry was of such renown that in 1705 a young J. S. Bach walked 250 miles to spend three months listening to his music. A ciacona (also known as a chaconne) is a set of variations on a repeated short harmonic progression, often involving a repetitive bassline. The praeludium is typical of early to middle Baroque preludes in that it consists of several contrasting and seemingly unrelated sections.

    St. Stephanus Lutheran Church Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ for 130 Years September 27, 2020 Seventeenth Sunday After Pentecost Although we won’t have weekly services at church for the foreseeable future, there will still be a stream of regular Sunday worship available on Sunday morning! Please visit our website www.saintstephanus.org for more details. Here is a direct link to the “Sermons & Worship” links: http://www.saintstephanus.org/sermons-2020 Edward Perronet (1726-1792), the son of an Anglican priest, worked closely with the brothers John and Charles Wesley for many years. Perronet was considered an able preacher, but hesitated to preach in front of John Wesley. One Sunday, Wesley, to Perronet's surprise, announced that Perronet would preach. Perronet entered the pulpit, announced that he would deliver the greatest sermon ever preached, and proceeded to read the "Sermon on the Mount", after which immedi- ately sitting down. In November, 1779, a new hymn penned by Perronet, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name", was print- ed in the Gospel Magazine, a publication from Augustus M. Toplady, the composer of "Rock of Ages". This hymn under- went many revisions in the following years prior to becoming the version printed in our hymnal today. Along with the text revisions, the hymn has also been commonly set to three different tunes. CORONATION, the tune found in our hymnal, was composed by Olver Holden (1765-1844), an American composer. DIADEM was written by James Ellor (1819-1899), a hat maker who also led the Wesleyan chapel choir. The third tune, MILES' LANE, the tune originally paired with the text, was composed by William Shrubsole (1760-1806), an English organist and composer.

  • John and Molly: a Methodist Mismarriage
    The Asbury Journal 75/1: 46-70 © 2020 Asbury Theological Seminary DOI: 10.7252/Journal.01.2020S.04 Samuel J. Rogal John and Molly: A Methodist Mismarriage Abstract: While not much is known about Mary (Molly) Goldhawk Vazeille, the wife of John Wesley, her story has been interpreted in many ways, and often incorrectly over time. This article explores the historical evidence of her life as a wealthy widow with children who married the founder of Methodism later in life. This contentious relationship is often little understood because of the lack of solid documentation and the multiple interpretations often overlaying the story, which were added by writers with other agendas. It does seem clear that John’s brother Charles was especially unhappy with this marriage in the beginning, and the subsequent events in the relationship led to divisions between the couple that have been open to numerous interpretations. Keywords: Mary (Molly) Goldhawk Vazeille, John Wesley, Charles Wesley, Methodism, marriage Samuel J. Rogal has served in the faculty and administration of Waynesburg College, Iowa State University, SUNY College at Oswego, Mary Holmes College, and Illinois State University before retiring from the chair of the Division of Humanities and Fine arts at Illinois Valley Community College in 1998. He has been a lifelong scholar of the Wesleys, their hymnody, and 18th century British literature. 46 rogal: John and molly 47 the long life of John Wesley (1703-1791) occurred on Monday or Tuesday, February 18 or 19, 1751.

  • Music Blurbs for 9-30-18 News & Notes This Week, As a Reminder That
    Music Blurbs for 9-30-18 News & Notes This week, as a reminder that our St. Francis Blessing of the Animals service is coming up (October 6), cellist David Chentian will play “The Swan” from Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals. Hymns will include “All hail the power of Jesus’ Name!” “Be thou my vision,” and “Standing in the need of prayer.” The choir will sing “Plenty Good Room” by local composer John Horman. Sunday Bulletins All hail the power of Jesus’ Name! ranks as one of the most popular hymns among congregations in the Episcopal Church. To be sure, its popularity extends beyond that to many denominations. The first stanza appeared anonymously in the November 1779 issue of Gospel Magazine coupled with the tune MILES LANE (451). In the April 1780 issue of the same magazine, they published a complete eight-verse version and the text was attributed to Edward Perronet (1726-1792). He was born in Kent, England, the son of an Anglican preacher who was closely associated with John and Charles Wesley, the founders of Methodism. The Perronets were descended from French Huguenots who had fled France to escape religious persecution. While Edward was considered a good preacher, he felt uncomfortable preaching in front of the formidable likes of John Wesley, who had asked him to preach several times. One day, John Wesley got up and declared that the congregation would now hear a sermon from Edward Perronet. Perronet got up to the pulpit and declared he would deliver the greatest sermon ever preached. He read “The Sermon on the Mount” and sat down.

  • CD 3 Sacred Harp Convention
    INTRODUCTION In his best-selling book, Stars Fell on Alabama, Carl Carmer described an early 1930s Sacred Harp singing in north Alabama: The church was full now. People stood along the walls and the doorway was packed. Crowds were huddled outside each window singing lustily. ... there were surely more than two thousand people... Hard blows of sound beat upon the walls and rafters with inexorable regularity. All in a moment the constant beat took hold. There was a swift crescendo. Muscles were tensing, eyes brightening. Such singings were common throughout the Deep South in the 1930’s, but Alabama was then, and is now, the cultural and geographical “heart” of this venerable tradition. For the past 23 years, hundreds of Sacred Harp singers, from Alabama and several dozen other states and a handful of foreign countries, have gathered in Birmingham, in June, for the National Sacred Harp Convention. For many, from outside Alabama, this annual gathering is a pilgrimage to the “mecca” of Sacred Harp Singing. For three days, hundreds of song leaders come to the center of the “hollow square” to sing the notes. This recording of the 2002 National Sacred Harp Convention provides compelling testimony of the continued vitality of this sturdy and durable vocal tradition.

FOR ten years it has been my pleasure to write articles on the leading hymns and hymn- writers for The Christian Endeavor Worlds one a month. These hymns were suggested as memory hymns for the Christian Endeavor societies, the hymns to be sung from memory in the meetings, and the facts regarding their writers to be stated to the young people. The considerable amount of hymn lore thus collected is here presented in per- manent form for the use of pastors, church workers, young people's societies, and all lovers of hymns.
