  • PROGRAM NOTES Quincy Symphony Orchestra & Choruses - December 1, 2018 Dr
    PROGRAM NOTES Quincy Symphony Orchestra & Choruses - December 1, 2018 Dr. Paul Borg The December holiday season is filled with stories and the music that goes along with them. Sacred and secular stories reflect both serious and fun expectations that families have while anticipating the arrival of Hanukkah, Christmas, and the New Year. Familiar religious stories of the season are Hanukkah, the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem and the lighting of the Menorah, as well as the Nativity of Jesus in Bethlehem. Other stories have developed over centuries, including the Christmas Eve journey of Santa Claus. HARK! arranged by William Camphouse In the arranger's words: “HARK! is joyful statement of celebration - in all respects it’s musically extroverted. Visions of angelic hosts, sturdy four bar phrases and similar harmonic rhythm patterns are common characteristics that link Felix Mendelssohn’s Hark, the Herald Angels Sing and Angels from the Realms of Glory from the British hymn tune Regent Square. Opening with a recurring fanfare motive, both tunes are stated independently, then developed and interwoven making the most of orchestral color and ensemble energy.” Ding, Dong, Merrily / Good King Wenceslas arranged by John Mindeman In the arranger's words: "Ding Dong Merrily / Good King Wenceslas is a lively blend of two traditional Christmas carols, though not always treated in traditional ways musically. “Ding Dong” is a straightforward, rhythmic, happy announcement of the joy of the season, with lots of interplay between the different sections of the orchestra. Good King Wenceslas, by contrast, is a quiet, reflective look at the compassion of King Wenceslas shown to the poor man in the story.

  • O Holy Night! by Rev
    CHRISTMAS CAROLS WE HAVE LOVED Part 4: O Holy Night! By Rev. Will Nelken Presented at Trinity Community Church, San Rafael, California, on Sunday, December 23, 2007 _______________________________________________________________________________ Introduction I can’t get enough of those Christmas songs, Christmas songs, Christmas songs I can’t get enough of those Christmas songs, I hear them everywhere I go. (to the tune of the Sugar Crisp jingle) In the midst of all the shopping — we pay for gifts, we pay for sales tax, we pay for wrapping paper, we pay for ribbons and bows and tags, we pay for postage and shipping, we pay for trees and deco- rations — but does anyone pay attention?! What is it we are all singing about? Concluding our four-part series today, we’ll consider the history and meaning of one of our favorite Christmas carols, to shed fresh light on the grandest Story of all time. Background Placide Cappeau (1808-1877), a French wine merchant and poet, was asked by his parish priest in 1847 to write a Christmas poem, which he did, by the title “Minuit, chrétiens, c’est l’heure solennelle.” Desiring music to accompany its three stanzas, Cappeau approached his friend, Adolphe Adam, a well-known composer. Thus, "O Holy Night" ("Cantique de Noël") was born. In just eight years it was translated into English by Unitarian minister John Sullivan Dwight, editor of Dwight's Journal of Music. Fifty-one years later, on December 24, 1906, Reginald Fessenden, a Canadian inventor, broadcast the first AM radio program, which included him playing "O Holy Night" on the violin.

  • O Holy Night!” Topic: HOLINESS
    Title: “O Holy Night!” Topic: HOLINESS THEME: The Night was Holy Because Jesus is Holy! —————— How the Christmas Carol ‘O Holy Night!’ came into existence: In 1847, Placide Cappeau was the commissionaire of wines in a small French town. Known more for his poetry than his church attendance, it must have shocked Placide when his local Catholic priest asked him to pen a poem for Christmas mass. Nevertheless, the poet was honored to share his talents with the church. In a dusty coach traveling down a bumpy road, Cappeau considered the priest's request. Using the Gospel of Luke as his guide, he imagined witnessing the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. Thoughts of being present on the blessed night inspired him. By the time he arrived in Paris, "Cantique de Noel" had been completed. Moved by his own work, Cappeau decided that his "Cantique de Noel" was not just a poem, but a song in need of a musician's hand. Not musically inclined himself, the poet turned to one of his friends, Adolphe Adams, for help. The son of a well-known classical musician, Adolphe had studied in the Paris conservatoire. As a man of Jewish ancestry, for Adolphe the words of "Cantique de Noel" represented a day he didn't celebrate and a man he did not view as the son of God. Nevertheless, Adams quickly went to work, attempting to marry an original score to Cappeau's beautiful words. The song was first performed just three weeks later at a Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. © 2020 Charles Specht Page 1 of 9 Title: “O Holy Night!” Topic: HOLINESS Initially, "Cantique de Noel" was wholeheartedly accepted by the church in France and the song quickly found its way into various Catholic Christmas services.

    Songs for A Folk Mountain Gospel Christmas CD Joy to the World Isaac Watts & Lowell Mason—Public Domain Joy to the world, the Lord is come, let earth receive her King! Let every heart, prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and heaven and nature sing. Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns, let men their songs employ While fields and flood, rocks, hills and plains, repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat, repeat the sounding joy. No more let sin and sorrow grow, nor thorns infest the ground, He comes to make His blessings flow, far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, far as, far as, the curse is found. He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove, The glories of His righteousness, and wonders of His love, And wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders of His love. Wise Men Still Seek Him Paul Overstreet and Taylor Dunn For years they must have watched the heavens day & night, How else would they have known a new star was in sight? It wasn’t in the papers, wasn’t in the TV guide, I’m not really sure how they did but somehow they got wise. They rode their camels cross the desert’s burnin’ sand, They couldn’t fly, you know there were no planes back then. Then they met old Herod who was out to steal their joy, But they brushed old Herod off and found God’s baby Boy.
