Anzac-Day-2009-Service.Pdf Westminster Abbey Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving to mark ANZAC Day Saturday 25 April 2009 Noon HISTORICAL NOTE T is now over 90 years since the landings on the Gallipoli I Peninsula on 25 April 1915. In the heroic campaign that followed, the casualties on both sides were heavy. Of the Allied Forces – from the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, France, Newfoundland, and India – some 50,000 lost their lives. The total number of casualties on the Allied side at Gallipoli, including those wounded or evacuated for sickness, was some 250,000. The Turkish forces lost over 86,000 and also sustained a high number of wounded. Australian and New Zealand forces fought for the first time under a united command as the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, or more famously the ANZACs. In both countries, ANZAC Day, 25 April, not only commemorates those first landings at Gallipoli but also all the Australians and New Zealanders who have given their lives in the service of their countries. The whole of the church, with the exception of the North Transept, is served by a hearing loop. Users should turn their hearing aid to the setting marked T. The New Zealand flag is borne by Sub Lieutenant Kulhushan Bhosale, RNZN. The Australian flag is borne by Warrant Officer II James Quinn. The Turkish flag is borne by Mr Eilfon Irfan Cinpir, Military Admin Attaché, UK. The flag of the United Kingdom is borne by a Representative of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces. 2 The service is sung by the Westminster Abbey Special Service Choir, conducted by James O’Donnell, Organist and Master of the Choristers. The organ is played by Léon Charles, Organ Scholar. The Fanfare team of the Band of the Grenadier Guards appears by permission of Brigadier D J H Maddan and is directed by Major Barry Wassell. Music before the service: Ian Keatley, Director of Music, Westminster Abbey Choir School, plays: Prelude and Fugue in C BWV 547 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Sonata in C minor Op 65 no 2 Felix Mendelssohn (1809-47) The Choir of Canberra Grammar School, directed by Heather Barman, sings: The Lord is risen Barry Rose (b 1934) Grow in grace Malcolm Archer (b 1952) Locus iste Anton Bruckner (1824-96) Be thou my vision Bob Chilcott (b 1955) Walk softly Bob Chilcott Sicut cervus Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c1525-94) Go forth into the world John Rutter (b 1945) 3 His Excellency the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Turkey is received at the Great West Door by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster and is conducted to his place in the Quire. All remain seated. His Excellency The High Commissioner for New Zealand and His Excellency The High Commissioner for Australia are received. All remain seated. The Lord Mayor of Westminster is received and is conducted to her place in the Quire. All stand, then sit. His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester is received. All stand. Presentations are made. 4 ORDER OF SERVICE All remain standing as the Collegiate Procession, together with the Preacher and His Royal Highness, moves to places in the Quire and Sacrarium. All remain standing for THE NATIONAL ANTHEM OD save our gracious Queen, G long live our noble Queen, God save The Queen. Send her victorious, happy and glorious, long to reign over us: God save The Queen. Thesaurus Musicus (c1743) arranged by Gordon Jacob (1895-1984) All remain standing. The Very Reverend Dr John Hall, Dean of Westminster, says THE BIDDING HE landing of Allied Forces at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 led Tto one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War. New Zealand and Australian forces joined together for the first time and a new word entered the language: ANZAC. Remembering that so many died, we honour the bravery and determination of the men at Gallipoli. The memory of what became known as The Great War is with us as a warning and an encouragement. We are warned that war involves suffering and death; we are encouraged by the spirit of national pride shown by the soldiers we remember this ANZAC Day. As the Union Flag and the flags of New Zealand and Australia are presented at the High Altar, with the flag of Turkey in a sign of the reconciliation of old enemies, let us renew our own commitment to the causes of justice and peace throughout the world. We keep silence as we come into the presence of God. 5 Silence is kept. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne: steadfast love and faithfulness go before your face. Psalm 89: 14 All remain standing to sing THE HYMN during which the flags of New Zealand, Australia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom are carried through the church and are placed in the Sacrarium. RAISE, my soul, the King of Heaven; P to his feet thy tribute bring. Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, who like me his praise should sing? Praise him! Praise him! Praise the everlasting King. Praise him for his grace and favour to our fathers in distress; praise him still the same for ever, slow to chide, and swift to bless. Praise him! Praise him! Glorious in his faithfulness. 6 Father-like, he tends and spares us; well our feeble frame he knows; in his hands he gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes. Praise him! Praise him! Widely as his mercy flows. Angels, help us to adore him; ye behold him face to face; sun and moon, bow down before him; dwellers all in time and space. Praise him! Praise him! Praise with us the God of grace. Praise, my soul 436 NEH Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) John Goss (1800-80) after Psalm 103 All sit. His Excellency Mr Derek Leask, High Commissioner for New Zealand, reads 2 SAMUEL 23: 13-17 OWARDS the beginning of harvest three of the thirty chiefs Twent down to join David at the cave of Adullam, while a band of Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim. David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then at Bethlehem. David said longingly, ‘O that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem that is by the gate!’ Then the three warriors broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and brought it to David. But he would not drink of it; he poured it out to the Lord, for he said, ‘The Lord forbid that I should do this. Can I drink the blood of the men who went at the risk of their lives?’ Therefore he would not drink it. The three warriors did these things. 7 The Choir sings PSALM 121 WILL lift up mine eyes unto the hills: from whence cometh Imy help. My help cometh even from the Lord: who hath made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: and he that keepeth thee will not sleep. Behold, he that keepeth Israel: shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord himself is thy keeper: the Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand; so that the sun shall not burn thee by day: neither the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in: from this time forth for evermore. 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. Henry Walford Davies (1869-1941) His Excellency Mr John Dauth LVO, High Commissioner for Australia, reads LUKE 6: 27-36 ESUS said to his disciples, ‘I say to you that listen, Love your J enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is 8 that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.’ All remain seated for THE ADDRESS by The Reverend Dr Murray D Earl Director-General, Chaplaincy Services, Royal Australian Air Force The Choir sings THE ANTHEM during which The Dean, with the High Commissioners for New Zealand and for Australia, processes to the Grave of the Unknown Warrior GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN ANY waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods M drown it. Love is strong as death. Greater love hath no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness.

  • Reflections on Chilcott's Requiem by Members of the Chancel Choir
    Reflections on Chilcott’s Requiem y b Members of the ChancelReflections Choir on Chilcott’s Requiem by Members of the Chancel Choir Reflections on Chilcott’s Requiem by Members of the Chancel Choir Reflections on Chilcott’s Requiem by Members of the Chancel Choir Requiem Bob Chilcott Robert “Bob” Chilcott, born in 1955, is a British choral composer, conductor, and singer. He sang in the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, both as a boy and as a university student. In 1985 he joined the King’s Singers, singing tenor for 12 years. Chilcott began composing in 1997, and has had remarkable success since that time. TheRequiem was premiered on March 13, 2010, at the Sheldonian in Oxford, England, by the Oxford Bach Choir and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It was first performed in the United States at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church, Dallas, Texas. Requiem is dedicated to Chilcott’s niece, who died at age 23, while he was composing the piece. It is beautifully reflective, and at the same time is given focus and direction by the composer’s keen sense of melody and innate feeling for rhythm, be it in the lyrical, rolling tenor solo in the Angus Dei, or the crystal simplicity of the Pie Jesu; the gently pulsing first few bars of the Introit, or the driving irregular beats of the Sanctus. The work’s components develop at different paces—it is hard to put a finger on one particular moment of arrival. The Sanctus, with its dance-like patterns, provides the dynamic peak of Requiem; the Pie Jesu perhaps offers the emotional center of the work; and Thou Knowest, Lord presents a central point for the text.

  • Order of Service for the Commonwealth Service 2020
    The Commonwealth Service A Celebration of the Commonwealth Monday, 9th March 2020, 3.00 pm Commonwealth Day Message 2020 On Commonwealth occasions, it is always inspiring to be reminded of the diversity of the people and countries that make up our worldwide family. We are made aware of the many associations and influences that combine through Commonwealth connection, helping us to imagine and deliver a common future. This is particularly striking when we see people from nations, large and small, gathering for the Commonwealth Games, for meetings of Commonwealth governments, and on Commonwealth Day. Such a blend of traditions serves to make us stronger, individually and collectively, by providing the ingredients needed for social, political and economic resilience. Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to see and hear how membership of the Commonwealth family means so much to those living in all parts of the world, often in places that are quite remote. Advances in technology and modern media have now enabled many more people to witness and enjoy - with remarkable immediacy - this experience of Commonwealth connection, in areas such as education, medicine and conservation. Looking to the future, this connectivity means we are also aware, perhaps as never before, that wherever we live, our choices and actions affect the well-being of people and communities living far away, and in very different circumstances. For many, this awareness awakens a desire to employ our planet’s natural resources with greater care, and it is encouraging to see how the countries of the Commonwealth continue to devise new ways of working together to achieve prosperity, whilst protecting our planet.
