MUSIC NOTES OCTOBER 2011 PAGE 4 Visiting Anglican Musician Weekend October 28-30

St. Peter’s Episcopal Church continues its tradition of inviting a prominent Anglican church musician to spend a weekend in residence. These musicians are selected for their expertise in both choir training and organ performance. This year two American-born luminar- ies of church music have been invited, Dr. James Litton, and Canon Mark Laubach, who will be in Lewes October 27-30. The musical weekend commences with an organ recital by Canon Laubach on Friday, October 28 at 7:30 PM. He will play St. Peter’s 3-manual, 70+ rank organ. Saturday the 29th will feature a choral workshop beginning at 10 AM with guest choral director, Dr. James Litton and the Choir of St. Peter’s. The workshop will focus on preparing the choir for Choral Eucharist and Evensong the fol- lowing day. This is an open event – members of the public are invited to come to the rehearsal and watch Dr. Litton work with the choir. Sunday will be the culmination of this weekend of music: The Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost will be celebrated in the Cho- ral Eucharist at 10 AM featuring the Communion Service in C by Charles Villiers Stanford. Choral Evensong (sung evening prayer) will take place at 5 PM featuring music of David Hurd, Craig Phillips, and Herbert Sumsion. A reception in the Parish Hall will fol- low Evensong to greet Dr. Litton and Canon Laubach. Both services will be sung by the Choir of St. Peter’s, guest directed by Dr. James Litton, accompanied at the organ by Canon Mark Laubach, and officiated by St. Peter’s Rector, The Reverend Jeffrey A. Ross. No admission will be charged for any event listed above, though a free-will offering will be collected at the evening events to benefit the Music Fund of St. Peter’s. Dr. James Litton is widely regarded as one of America’s most prominent choral conductors specializing in training of the young voice. Now serving as Litton-Lodal Music Director Emeritus of The American Boychoir, he has earned a distinguished reputation as a specialist in children’s choral technique, as well as a conductor of many choral ensem- bles for all ages, reinforcing his standing as a respected scholar, dedicated teacher, and accomplished musician. Dur- ing his 16-year tenure with The American Boychoir, Litton conducted the choir in more than 2,000 concerts in 48 states and 12 countries as well as on more than 30 professional recordings and in special television programs and numerous commercial soundtracks. Prior to his appointment at The American Boychoir School, Dr. Litton held positions at Westminster Choir College, Princeton Theological Seminary, Virginia Theological Seminary and The University of the South. A former member of the Episcopal Church’s Standing Commission on Church Music, he participated in the preparation and publication of the Episcopal Hymnal, 1982. For 13 years, Dr. Litton was the Organist and Director of Music at St. Bartholomew’s Church in New York City. Canon Mark Laubach is regarded among the finest organists of his generation in the US. Since winning first prize in the 1984 American Guild of Organists (AGO) National Young Artists' Competition in Organ Performance, he has concer- tized throughout the USA and Great Britain in some of the most notable concert venues, and continues to be in high demand for solo performances throughout the US and abroad. Since January 1986 Mark has served as Organist and Choirmaster of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Wilkes-Barre, PA where he administers an active liturgical music program, a choral program affiliated with the RSCM (Royal School of Church Music) in America, and Music from St. Stephen’s, broadcast weekly on WVIA 89.9 FM Public Radio. In 2008 Bishop Paul Marshall made Mark Honorary Canon Precentor of the Diocese in recognition of his accomplishments and contributions to the musical and liturgical life of the Diocese of Bethlehem. Mark received a Bachelor’s Degree in Church Music from Westminster Choir College, a Master’s Degree in Organ Performance and Literature from the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester, and served for one year as Fellow in Church Music at Washington National Cathedral. His organ teachers have included Clinton Miller, George Markey, Donald McDonald, and David Craighead. Mark has performed in many of the most prominent churches and concert halls in the USA, and in Great Britain and Ger- many. Notable recitals in the UK have included appearances at Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, King’s Col- lege Chapel in Cambridge, and cathedrals in Bristol, Chichester, Gloucester, Lincoln, Norwich, and Wells. He is a frequent recitalist, clinician, and competition adjudicator for national and regional conventions of the AGO (American Guild of Organists) and the AAM (Association of Anglican Musicians). He has recorded three critically acclaimed compact discs on the Pro Organo label ... Teutonic Titanics, French Fest, and Mosaics in Sound. Mark teaches organ students privately and at Marywood University in Scranton, PA where he is also accompanist for the University’s Campus Choir and Chamber Singers.

Parish Adult retreat planned for Memorial House March 25th OCTOBER 2011 OUR LITTLE CORNER OF GOD’S WORLD PAGE 7 Several weeks ago I was going to the mailbox when I saw something that brought back a vivid memory from my childhood. A father was teaching his young son how to ride a ‖two wheeler‖ on the street in front of our house (probably because it’s a short street with little or now traffic on it). And…he was doing it the same way my dad taught me (and probably a lot of you, too) by holding on to the seat and running behind the bike while keeping up a constant stream of encouraging chatter. I can remember how surprised I was the day I realized my dad was no longer holding on/running behind and I was actually riding all by myself! That was well over 60 years ago, but I can still recall how excited I was to have be riding all by myself…..without the aid of training wheels, too. (My internet research gave me a date of ―1950ish‖ for their invention, but trust me…no one in our town ever had them….we learned with the ―hold and run‖ technique, but, I digress.) I soon learned that being able to ride a bike meant I had a new sense of independence when it came to getting to and from places in our small town on my own and…it was a lot faster and easier than walking. Little did I know then what a ―lifetime gift‖ my dad gave me when he helped me master the skill of biking. Now, I must admit I don’t ride my bike (The same one I’ve had for 53 years!) as often as I used to or as much as I’d like to these days, but I have noticed there seem to be a lot more folks peddling around than there used to be….and….that’s a GOOD thing. There are a variety of reason to ride a bike but the ones I like best are listed below. 1.For Your Body…Riding a bike offers many health benefits like an increase in cardiovascular fitness, strength, balance & flexibility, endurance & stamina and calories burned.

2.For Your State of Mind…Riding a bike is a proven stress releaser. (Unless, of course, you venture on to Rt. 1.)

3.For Your Community… You’re able to get to the places you want to go and yet put one less vehicle on the road which means no car noise or polluting exhaust, no oil or gas consumed. (Also, the energy and materials used to make one automobile could be used to create a hundred bikes.)

4. For Convenience…Front row parking spaces no matter where you go, traffic jams become irrelevant, and short trip travel can be just as fast if not faster on a bike. (Especially when there are so many ―visitors‖ in the area.)

5.For Your Pocketbook…In addition to the cost of gasoline ($3.50+/gal. these days) there is also oil, regular maintenance costs, taxes/registration and insurance. Oh yes…and let’s not forget parking meters!

6. For the FUN of it! So, when you ride your bike you’re doing a lot of good things, many of which are for the benefit of others. Ultimately, though, the one who benefits the most is you through better health, peace of mind, increased confidence and self-reliance, and, yes…perhaps even some extra cash in the bank. Now…for all these reasons why not get out there on your bike more often. Even if you don’t save the whole world in the process, you might still have fun trying! Now…in case anyone is inspired to think about getting back on that bike that may be gathering dust in the corner of the garage or storage shed perhaps you might be interested in attending the upcoming Bike Summit being sponsored by Wilmapco (Wilmington Area Planning Council). It will be held at the Virden Center on Friday, October 14th from 9:00 to 3:00 and best of all…it’s FREE.. Information concerning the event can be found on the internet at: http://www.wilmapco.org/bikesummit/ or by calling Wilmapco at (302-737-6205). Space is limited so if you’re interested, don’t delay THERE’S A WAVE IN THE CHURCHYARD! If you’ve walked the brick path between the Parish Hall and the church lately you may have noticed that something has been added that will make a lot of folks happy. A ―7 - Wave‖ bike rack is now in place between the patio and the graveyard. It was graciously donated by Mitzi and Paul Kratt who, in addition to various parish commitments, are also members of the St. Peter’s Environmental Committee. When the Environmental Committee met in June, we did some brainstorming and came up with a ―wish list‖ of things we’d like to see happen here at St. Peter’s. One ―wish‖ that headed our list was the addition of a bicycle rack somewhere on the property for the convenience of those who ride their bikes to St. Peter’s in order to attend services, work at Seekers, attend meetings, etc. (Especially in the summer when parking spaces are as hard to find as that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.) Originally we had planned to build it (in conjunction with the SPY’s and other interested parishioners) but as summer began melting away we realized that wasn’t going to happen. It was then that The Kratt’s offered to buy and donate a rack and help to install it before the snow fell and there wouldn’t be very much need for said bike rack. So, on Monday, Sept. 19th the rack was installed and we trust it will enjoyed and serve us well for many years to come.
