About the Choirs at All Saints’ Music All Saints’ 2018-2019 WELCOME September 2018 Dear Friends, We are delighted to welcome you to this season of Music at All Saints’! The coming year continues our tradition of offering glorious sacred choral music at both Sunday Eucharist, monthly Evensong, Compline, Lessons and Carols for Advent and Christmas, and in concert. In addition, we are thrilled share the first season of All Saints’ Chamber Choir’s concert series offering George Frederic Handel’s The Messiah in its entirety on December 2nd as well as small scale sacred cantatas by Dieterich Buxtehude, J. S. Bach, and Heinrich Schutz in early March. We also celebrate the opening of All Saints’ Music School, a community outreach of All Saints’ Parish. Our Sunday Evensong Organ recital series resumes in October and continues through May. This booklet outlines the musical offering for the coming season, particularly the 9 & 11 AM Holy Eucharist services on Sunday mornings. Also included is an envelope for your support of Friends of Music at All Saints’. Whether you are a parishioner or a friend of music, we hope you will consider making a donation to support our musical presence in North Central Phoenix, for the worship or concert setting. We hope to see you at All Saints’ for worship, music education or concert very soon!

All who enjoy music and would like to assist in enriching our worship services are encouraged to join our music program. If your gifts lead you to the Choirs, we have several opportunities to help prepare you for this ministry. If your gifts are non-musical, you too are welcome! We have many opportunities for your involvement. We always need those who are “technically inclined” as well as other willing hands. Please contact Joseph Ripka, Director of Music at 602-279-5539 or [email protected] for more information. The All Saints’ Choir is our largest volunteer choir. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. in the choir room (just off the church patio.) The Chamber Choir is our semi-professional choir whose members are chosen from the wider Valley community. The All Saints' Day School Choristers is a joint program with All Saints’ Day School and directed by Joseph Ripka. It is a Royal School of Church Music program (RSCM). Children of the Day School are auditioned in the third grade and membership is by invitation. This program serves as the chorus curriculum for All Saints' Episcopal Day School. All choristers are enrolled students of the day school. The All Saints’ Choristers are All Saints' newest addition to the choir family. Open to all youth in grades K-12. You need not be a member of All Saints' parish or a student from the day school to join. The Schola Cantorum of All Saints’ is a small group of adult voices (alto, tenor, and bass) who sing regularly with the choristers. The Choral Scholar Program is for high school and early college singers who benefit from the opportunity to sing some of the great Anglican repertoire with the Chamber Choir and All Saints’ Choristers. They are with us two Sundays per month, and are given a small stipend for their work. The Choral Fellow Program is for college age singers who are looking ahead to careers in music. They graduate into Senior Choral Fellows which are entry level staff positions here at All Saints’. The Handbell Choir plays at services throughout the year. Weekly rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the choir room, under the direction of Ilona Kubiaczyk-Adler. 3 Special Events Saturday, September 29th, 3:00 p.m. American Guild of Organists: Hymn Festival with Bruce Neswick Sunday, September 30th, 3:00 p.m. All Saints Music School Faculty Concert Tuesday, October 30th, 6:00 p.m. All Saints Music School “Trunk or Treat” and PipeScreams Concert *donations benefit Friends of Music (FOM) Sunday, November 11th, 3:30 p.m. “Requiems and Remembrances” choral prelude at 3:30, Duruflé’s, “Requiem Mass.” Sunday, December 2nd, 3:00 p.m. Handel’s “Messiah” (Complete) with the All Saints’ Chamber Choir and Chamber Orchestra.

Jeffrey Campbell St. Philip in the Hills Episcopal Church, Tucson. Trevor Carolan All Saints’ Episcopal Church, Phoenix. Kristin Holton Prouty Victory Lutheran Church, Mesa. Compline Compline is the final service in the daily office of the Book of Common Prayer. Originating in the 4th century, Compline follows the traditional pattern of brief psalms, a reading, prayers and the Nunc Dimittis (the Song of Simeon). The word “Compline” comes from the Latin word for “completions,” as we pray in thanksgiving for the day that is completed, and for safety in the coming night. Services are Fourth Sundays at 8:00pm in the main church from September through April. This is a ‘come as you are’ service and congregants may choose freely to participate in the liturgy or to simply sit in quiet prayer and/or mediation. All are welcome.

  • Choral Vespers
    GONVILLE & CAIUS COLLEGE CHAPEL Easter Term 2021 CHORAL VESPERS Vespers is the sixth of the seven prayer services of the Christian day. Its name comes from the Latin vespera, which means ‘evening.’ When Thomas Cranmer created the English Prayer Book in 1549 and 1552 he combined Vespers with the night service (compline) into the service we know as Evensong. Magnificat is the Gospel Canticle of Vespers, as Nunc Dimittis is the Gospel Canticle of Compline. The service ends with a traditional antiphon (a special seasonal text, from which comes our modern word ‘anthem’) in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 2nd May Fourth Sunday of Easter LUCERNARIUM (The Lighting of the Lamps) Thy word is a lantern unto my feet and a light unto my paths. Thou also shalt light my candle the Lord my God shall make my darkness to be light. The light and peace of Jesus Christ be with you and with thy spirit Light Prayer Blessed art thou, Sovereign Lord, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to thee be glory and praise for ever. Thou hast called us out of darkness into thy marvellous light that our lives may reflect thy glory and our lips repeat thy song: Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit HYMN LUCIS Creator optime O BLEST Creator of the light, lucem dierum proferens, Who mak'st the day with radiance bright, primordiis lucis novae, and o'er the forming world didst call mundi parans originem: the light from chaos first of all; Qui mane iunctum vesperi Whose wisdom joined in meet array diem vocari praecipis: the morn and eve, and named them Day: taetrum chaos illabitur, night comes with all its darkling fears; audi preces cum fletibus.

Averse as Sir Arthur is to the " interview " in journalism, I could not resist the temptation to ask him to let me do something of the sort when I first had the pleasure of meeting ^ him — not in regard to journalistic matters — some years ago. That permission was most genially , granted, and the little chat which I had with J him then, in regard to the opera which he was writing, appeared in The World.

  • SERVICES & MUSIC September 2020
    S ERVICES & M USIC September 2020 From the Canon Precentor The last Music List was printed at the start of March and when we compiled it we could never have guessed that the Cathedral would be silent for the remainder of Lent, Holy Week, Easter and the entire summer term. Thanks to the expertise of Cathedral staff – notably Tim Popple and Glynn Usher – we have risen to the monumental challenge of live-streaming services every day during lock down. Finally, a few weeks ago, we were permitted to offer worship which was open to the public. A few weeks after that we were allowed a cantor and organist, then last week the regulations changed again, allowing us to have a small adult choir – a wonderful moment! As you will gather, the way forward as we re-introduce choral music is painfully slow and the logistics of arranging rehearsals for our choristers are complicated. I am indebted to my colleagues Mark Lee and Sarah Jenkinson, who are making this happen. For the time being the choristers will concentrate on rehearsing and making up for lost time; choral services on Friday and Sunday will be sung by the Back Row. The number of people allowed into the Cathedral at any one time is strictly limited, so many of our large autumn services will be live-streamed or virtual. A particularly impressive virtual service was the one we broadcast on VE Day in May. Since then there have been others and we plan to continue with virtual services and live-streaming for the time being.

  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

The cycle of unaccompanied part songs uses traditional texts that are a combination of documented events and legends that praise Mary for her pure and holy spirit. Brahms composed the cycle in the style of early German church music; as a result they sound closer to strophic chorales or carols than Romantic choral music.
