Music for each hymn can be found in the blue Hymnal 1982, located in the pew racks. HYMN Angels, from the realms of glory (no. 93) 1. 3. Angels, from the realms of glory, Sages, leave your contemplations; wing your flight o’er all the earth; brighter visions beam afar: ye, who sang creation’s story, seek the great Desire of nations; now proclaim Messiah’s birth: ye have seen his natal star: come and worship, come and worship, Refrain worship Christ, the newborn King. 2. 4. Shepherds in the field abiding, Saints before the altar bending, watching o’er your flocks by night, watching long in hope and fear, God with you is now residing; suddenly the Lord, descending, yonder shines the infant Light: in his temple shall appear: Refrain Refrain CAROL Sir Christèmas Nowell, nowell. Christ is now born of a pure maid, Who is there that singeth so? In an ox-stall he is laid, I am here, Sir Christèmas. Wherefore sing we at a brayde Welcome, my lord Sir Christèmas! [a l l together]: Welcome to all, both more and less, Nowell, nowell. Come near. Nowell, nowell. Dieu vous garde, beaux sieurs, Buvez bien, buvez bien [drink well] [God keep you, good sirs,] par toute la compagnie Tidings I you bring: [throughout all the company]. A maid hath borne a child full young, Make good cheer and be right merry, Which causeth you to sing: And sing with us now joyfully: Nowell, nowell. Nowell, nowell. Text: Anon., ca. 1500 Music: William Mathias (1934–1992) 2 CAROL The Infant King Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now reclining, Lullaby baby, now a-dozing, Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Angels are watching, stars are shining Soon comes the cross, the nails, the piercing, Over the place where he is lying: Then in the grave at last reposing: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Lullaby baby, now a-sleeping, Lullaby! is the babe a-waking? Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby! Hush, do not wake the Infant King. Hush, do not stir the Infant King. Soon will come sorrow with the morning, Dreaming of Easter, gladsome morning, Soon will come bitter grief and weeping: Conquering Death, its bondage breaking: Sing lullaby! Sing lullaby!

David Willcocks (1919–2015) CAROL Sussex Carol On Christmas night all Christians sing, When sin departs before his grace, To hear the news the angels bring— Then life and health come in its place; News of great joy, news of great mirth, Angels and men with joy may sing, News of our merciful King’s birth. All for to see the newborn King. Then why should men on earth be so sad, All out of darkness we have light, Since our Redeemer made us glad, Which made the angels sing this night: When from our sin he set us free, “Glory to God and peace to men, All for to gain our liberty? Now and for evermore. Amen.” Text & music: English traditional carol, arr. David Willcocks (b. 1919) 3 HYMN It came upon the midnight clear (no. 89) 1. 3. It came upon the midnight clear, Yet with the woes of sin and strife that glorious song of old, the world has suffered long; from angels bending near the earth beneath the heavenly hymn have rolled to touch their harps of gold: two thousand years of wrong; “Peace on the earth, good will to men, and warring humankind hears not from heaven’s all-gracious King.” the tidings which they bring; The world in solemn stillness lay O hush the noise and cease your strife to hear the angels sing. and hear the angels sing! 2. 4. Still through the cloven skies they come For lo! the days are hastening on, with peaceful wings unfurled, by prophets seen of old, and still their heavenly music floats when with the ever-circling years o’er all the weary world; shall come the time foretold, above its sad and lowly plains when peace shall over all the earth they bend on hovering wing, its ancient splendors fling, and ever o’er its Babel-sounds and all the world give back the song the blessed angels sing. which now the angels sing. CAROL in dulci jubilo In dulci jubilo [In quiet joy] O Patris caritas [O father’s caring], Let us our homage show; O Nati lenitas [O newborn’s mildness]! Our heart’s joy reclineth Deeply were we stained In praesepio [in a manger] Per nostra crimina [by our crimes]; And like a bright star shineth, But thou hast for us gained Matris in gremio [in the mother’s lap]. Coelorum gaudia [heavenly joy]. Alpha es et O [You are Alpha and Omega]. O that we were there! O Jesu parvule [O tiny Jesus]! Ubi sunt gaudia [where are joys], I yearn for thee alway! If that they be not there? Hear me, I beseech thee, There are angels singing O puer optime [O best of boys]! Nova cantica [new songs], My prayer let it reach thee, There the bells are ringing O Princeps gloriae [Prince of glory]! In Regis curia [at the King’s court]: Trahe me post te [Draw me to you]. O that we were there! Text: Anon., 14th century; trans. Robert Lucas de Pearsall (1795–1856) Music: Traditional, arr. Robert Lucas de Pearsall 4 CAROL Threshold of Night Who stands at my door in the storm and rain I will not go back for sorrow or pain, On the threshold of being? For my true love weeps within One who waits till you call him in And waits for my coming. From the empty night. Go back, my babe, to the vacant night Are you a stranger, out in the storm, For in this house dwell sin and hate Or has my enemy found me out On the verge of being. On the edge of being? I will not going back for hate or sin, I am no stranger who stands at the door I will not go back for sorrow or pain, Nor enemy come in the secret night, For my true love mourns within I am your child, in darkness and fear On the threshold of night. On the verge of being. Go back, my child, to the rain and storm, For in this house there is sorrow and pain In the lonely night.

  • WORDS—A Collection of Poems and Song Lyrics by Paul F
    WORDS— A Collection of Poems and Song Lyrics By P.F Uhlir Preface This volume contains the poems and songs I have written over the past four decades. There is a critical mass at his point, so I am self-publishing it online for others to see. It is still a work in progress and I will be adding to them as time goes on. The collections of both the poems and songs were written in different places with divergent topics and genres. It has been a sporadic effort, sometimes going for a decade without an inspiration and then several works in a matter of months. Although I have presented each collection chronologically, the pieces also could be arranged by themes. They are about love and sex, religion, drinking, and social topics—you know, the stuff to stay away from at the holiday table. In addition, although the songs only have lyrics, they can be grouped into genres such as blues, ballads, and songs that would be appropriate in musicals. Some of the songs defy categorization. I have titled the collection “Words”, after my favorite poem, which is somewhere in the middle. Most of them tell a story about a particular person, or event, or place that is meaningful to me. It is of personal significance and perhaps not interesting or understandable to the reader. To that extent, it can be described as a self-indulgence or an introspection; but most of them are likely to have a broader meaning that can be readily discerned. I’m sure I will add to them as time goes on, but I felt it was time to put them out.

  • A Parent's Lullaby
    A Parent’s Lullaby A Song of Hope for Bereaved Parents From Our Children Live On, by Elissa Al-Chokhachy Mom and Dad, here I am! Your child I’ll always be Loving you both with all my heart through all eternity. Will you love me even though on earth I could not stay? There were things beyond control that called me on my way. Sometimes when you miss me, I know it makes you cry. Know that I am still with you and will be by your side. If you sit quietly with me, I’ll share with you my thoughts. Ask me what you’d like to know. Then listen with your heart. Be open to the subtle ways I will say to you, “Thanks for being my Mom and Dad, for loving me through and through.” I want to make you happy. I want to make you smile. Know each time that you think of me I’m loving you all the while. I’m sorry I’ll never accomplish the things you’d hoped for me. God and I had other plans. Search and you will see ... I came to earth to be your child, to be a teacher true. There’s so much I’ve been teaching since I’ve come to be with you. You’ve learned to live in the moment and cherish each day we have. It’s the little things that mean the most, like a smile or touch of the hand. You know it doesn’t matter the things that will never be.

This document intends to be a performance guide to Miki’s Sohmon III: for Soprano, Marimba and Piano (1988). The first chapter provides an introduction to the composer and his work. It also introduces methods of intercultural and artistic borrowing in the Japanese arts, and it defines the four basic principles of Japanese aesthetics. The second chapter focuses on the interpretation and pronunciation of Sohmon III’s song text.

  • Images of the Pregnant Body and the Unborn Child in England, 1540–C.1680 Rebecca Whiteley*
    Social History of Medicine Vol. 32, No. 2 pp. 241–266 Roy Porter Student Prize Essay Figuring Pictures and Picturing Figures: Images of the Pregnant Body and the Unborn Child in England, 1540–c.1680 Rebecca Whiteley* Summary. Birth figures, or print images of the fetus in the uterus, were immensely popular in mid- wifery and surgical books in Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. But despite their central role in the visual culture of pregnancy and childbirth during this period, very little critical attention has been paid to them. This article seeks to address this dearth by examining birth figures in their cultural context and exploring the various ways in which they may have been used and interpreted by early modern viewers. I argue that, through this process of exploring and contextual- ising early modern birth figures, we can gain a richer and more nuanced understanding of the early modern body, how it was visualised, understood and treated. Keywords: midwifery; childbirth; pregnancy; visual culture; print culture An earnest, cherubic toddler floats in what looks like an inverted glass flask. Accompanied by numerous fellows, each figure demonstrates a different acrobatic pos- ture (Figure 1). These images seem strange to a modern eye: while we might suppose they represent a fetus in utero (which indeed they do), we are troubled by their non- naturalistic style, and perhaps by a feeling that they are rich in a symbolism with which we are not familiar. Their first viewers, in England in the 1540s, might also have found them strange, but in a different way, as these images offered to them an entirely new picture of a bodily interior that was largely understood to be both visually inaccessible and inherently mysterious.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
