A Festival of Nine Lessons & Carols A FESTIVAL OF NINE LESSONS & CAROLS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2014 S T . P A U L ’ S E PISCOPAL C HURCH F AIRFIELD , C ONNECTICUT 2 ELCOME TO THIS SERVICE , which anticipates the great feast of the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The liturgy of Lessons and Carols was first used in the chapel of WKing’s College, Cambridge, on Christmas Eve, 1918, with the candle-lit splendor of the chapel, the prayers and scripture readings, the great hymns and the soaring music of the choir and organ standing in eloquent contrast to the darkness of a cold winter night and the tragic shadows of the recently concluded Great War. The intervening years have seen the worldwide broadcast of this service become a much beloved Christmas tradition. As in 1918, we in our own day turn again to these sacred words and songs in a world troubled by war, natural disaster, violence, and economic uncertainty. Tonight’s service is offered in the spirit of that first service at King’s, as a light shining in the darkness; with fervent prayer for peace, goodwill and understanding among all people rising amidst the strains of glorious hymns and carols. Although much of the music at this service is sung by the choir, the congregation plays a central role. Please listen intently, pray and sing with your heart, mind, and voice, as indicated below. Again, welcome ! Of course, a major part of this service involves the joining together of everyone in making a joyful noise to the Lord. Should your child be further inspired to the making of extended joyful noise while others are trying to listen, we do ask that you escort your little one to the gathering area or outside for a brief moment or two until he or she becomes more contemplative. And please do not be shy about doing this – many of the adults surrounding you are parents too, and are very glad that you and your child are here! You are among friends. Nursery care is also available during the service. ORDER OF SERVICE ORGAN VOLUNTARIES Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) ¶ The Congregation is requested to be silent during the final organ voluntary. Please rise as the clergy and choir enter the church. 3 HYMN Verses 1 & 2 sung by the choir, in procession. [TIME: 0:00] 1 Once in royal David’s city 2 He came down to earth from heaven MP3 : stood a lowly cattle shed, Who is God and Lord of all, 0:00:00 Where a mother laid her baby and his shelter was a stable, in a manger for his bed: and his cradle was a stall: Mary was that mother mild, with the poor, the mean, and the lowly, Jesus Christ her little child. lived on earth our Savior holy. ¶ Verses 3 & 4 sung by all. Verse 5 – Congregation in unison (descant choir only) Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see him, but in heaven, Set at God’s right hand on high; Where like stars his children crowned All in white shall wait around. Words: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Music: Irby , melody and harm. Henry John Gauntlett (1805-1876); revised by A. H Mann (1850-1929)and others; descant David Willcocks (b. 1919) 87. 87. 77 4 THE BIDDING PRAYER ¶ Said by the Officiant ELOVED IN CHRIST, at this Christmas-tide let it be our care and delight to hear again the message of the angels, and in heart and mind to go unto Bethlehem and see this thing which Bis come to pass, and the Babe lying in a manger. Therefore let us read and mark in Holy Scripture the tale of the loving purposes of God from the first days of our disobedience through the glorious Redemption brought us by this holy Child. But first, let us pray for the needs of the whole world; for peace on earth and goodwill among all his people; for unity and understanding within the Church he came to build, and especially in our sister parish of San Lucas y San Pablo in Bridgeport; in the Episcopal Church in Connecticut, and in the town and county of Fairfield. And let us remember, in his name, those that he loves most fervently: the poor and the helpless, the cold, the hungry, and the oppressed; the sick and them that mourn, the lonely and the unloved, the aged and the little children; all those who know not the Lord Jesus, or who love him not, or who by sin have grieved his heart of love. Lastly, let us remember before God all those who rejoice with us, but upon another shore, and in a greater light, that multitude which no one can number, whose hope was in the Word made flesh, and with whom in the Lord Jesus we are one for evermore. These prayers and praises let us humbly offer to God, in the words which Christ has taught us: ¶ All, together UR FATHER , who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, O 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 Officiant continues May Almighty God give us grace: May Christ give us the joys of everlasting life: and unto the fellowship of the citizens above may the King of Angels bring us all. Amen. ¶ The Congregation may be seated. 5 CAROL Melody from Piae Cantiones, 1582 , arr.

    The Cambridge Singers Christmas Album directed by JOHN RUTTER AROLS AND CHRISTMAS MUSIC have always formed a part of the CCambridge Singers’ recorded repertoire, and this album picks out some of my The Cambridge Singers personal favourites. Most of the 23 items are taken from the two albums Christmas with the Cambridge Singers and Christmas Day in the Morning, and there are four previously unreleased tracks which were squeezed out of those two albums and which I am happy Christmas Album to have found space for here. There are three strands to the programme: traditional carols; choruses and motets; and composers’ carols. In fact these categories are not as separate as they might appear. Composers have always loved to take traditional melodies and incorporate them into their own compositions, sometimes considerably elaborating them in the process: think of all those L’homme armé masses or of Bach’s chorale treatments. The art of the arranger, widely thought of as a twentieth-century invention, is as old as composition itself. When we listen to a ‘traditional’ carol sung by a choir, we are in fact generally hear- ing the work of an identifiable composer who has arranged, in his own style, a melody by an unidentifiable or obscure composer from an earlier era. The earliest examples on this album are Victoria’s O magnum mysterium (1572), a four-voiced motet where the melodic outlines are based on a Gregorian chant, and Scheidt’s In dulci jubilo (1620), which takes one of the best-loved of all Christmas carols and turns it into a resplendent double-choir motet with two antiphonal trumpet parts.

  • A Meditative and Musical Guide to by John Rutter
    A Meditative and Musical Guide to Magnificat by John Rutter The Magnificat, the outpouring of spirit that Mary proclaimed when she visited her cousin Elizabeth and shared her news of the miraculous birth of the Messiah, is the quintessential liturgical text for the Advent Season. Mary’s words, patterned closely from those of Hannah as she gave thanks for the birth of her son Samuel (Samuel 2:1-10) and a close parallel to Psalm 113, are at once a joyous outburst of praise and thanksgiving, an expression of humility, a recognition of the glory of God and his mercy for humankind, a strong statement of God’s love for the humble and poor, and news of the fulfillment of God’s promise of a savior. John Rutter characterizes the text as “a canticle of praise, trust, and joy.” Movement 1 – Mary Sings Praises to God (Luke 1:46-48) Magnificat anima mea Dominum: My soul doth magnify the Lord: et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae: For he hath regarded the lowliness of his hand-maiden: ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me generationis. blessed. The first movement is divided into 2 large sections that express contrasting perspectives of Mary’s joy. Rutter looked to the strong musical heritages of Spain and Mexico to derive the rhythmic motors for this joy. The first section begins with an orchestral fanfare that sets the stage for the clearly joyful, festive text of the first part of Mary’s Song.

It has nurtured generations of Old Cliftonian musicians including Boris Ord, the one-handed Dr Douglas Fox (famed for his radio broadcasts and recitals), C.S. Lang, and Sir David Willcocks himself. More recent alumni organists include Charles Matthews (winner of the Franz Liszt Organ Competition), Andrew Nethsingha (Director of Music at St John’s College, Cambridge), and current Oxbridge organ scholars. All have benefited from the four-manual organ in the College chapel, still maintained by its original maker, Harrison and Harrison. Sir David Willcocks MC CBE (1919-2015) Old Cliftonian Director of Music, King’s College, Cambridge (1957-73) Present-day life at the College — daily assemblies with hymns (the congregational singing supported by the College’s 2012 Hymn Book), choral services on Sundays, and the numerous concerts and oratorios performed in the chapel with the organ — ensures that the instrument and its players remain at the heart of College life.
