John Stainer Choir The Cathedral Church of St. James Palm Sunday April 14, 2019 - Twilight Recital at 4:00pm; Choral Evensong at 4:30pm Thou Hast Made Me by Eric Gill, wood engraving, from The Holy Sonnets of John Donne (J. M. Denton & Sons, Ltd.: 1939). Idiot Psalm: With Fear Μετά φόβου Θεού, πίστεως καί ἀγἀπης, προσέλθετε —a psalm of Isaak, sore afraid Forgive, O Fire, Forgive, O Light, the patent, fraught impurity of we who thus presume to open unclean lips, availing now a portal for Your purity. Forgive the chatter of our blithely fearless crowd awaiting Your pure body pretty much the way we stand in any fast-food queue, considering our neighbors' faults, puzzling at those odd few who seem to shiver some as they approach Your wound. Holy One allow that as we near the cup, before the coal is set upon our trembling tongues, before we blithely turn and walk again into our many other failures, allow that we might glimpse, might apprehend something of the fear with which we should attend this sacrifice, for which we shall not ever be found worthy, for which—I gather—we shall never be prepared. "Idiot Psalm: With Fear" by Scott Cairns (b. 1954). Welcome to St. James Cathedral This sacred land is the territory of several Indigenous Nations - the Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishnaabe, with special recognition to the Mississaugas of New Credit. We also acknowledge that we are on the shores of Niigaani-gichigami/Lake Ontario. This territory is governed by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Treaty, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the Anishnaabe Confederacy to peaceably share and sustain the life of the Great Lakes. In the spirit of that Treaty we seek to place at the centre of our gatherings the values of respectful reciprocity, diversity, peace, responsibility, and mutual aid.

Introit God So Loved The World Text: John 3: 16,17; Music: John Stainer Choir God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. Please stand, as you are able, when the organ plays. Preces and Responses Philip Radcliffe Officiant O Lord, open thou our lips; Choir And our mouth shall show forth thy praise. Officiant O God, make speed to save us; Choir O Lord, make haste to help us. 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. Officiant Praise ye the Lord; Choir The Lord’s Name be praised. Please be seated. Psalm 118 Chants by Robert Busiakiewicz Choir O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is gracious: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Israel now confess that he is gracious, and that his mercy endureth for ever. 1 Let the house of Aaron now confess that his mercy endureth for ever. Yea, let them now that fear the LORD confess that his mercy endureth for ever. I called upon the LORD in trouble; and the LORD heard me and set me free. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon mine enemies. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put any confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put any confidence in princes. All nations compassed me round about; but in the Name of the LORD did I destroy them. They kept me in on every side, they kept me in, I say, on every side,’ but in the Name of the LORD did I destroy them. They came about me like bees, and blazed up even as the fire among the thorns; but in the Name of the LORD did I destroy them. Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might fall; but the LORD was my help. The LORD is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation. The voice of joy and health is in the dwellings of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD bringeth mighty things to pass. The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD bringeth mighty things to pass. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. The LORD hath chastened and corrected me; but he hath not given me over unto death. Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may go into them and give thanks unto the LORD. This is the gate of the LORD: the righteous shall enter into it. 2 I will thank thee, for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The same stone which the builders refused is become the head-stone in the corner. This is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Help us now, O LORD: O LORD, send us now prosperity. Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the LORD: we bless you from the house of the LORD. The LORD is God, and he hath given us light: set in order the procession with branches, yea, even up to the horns of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will thank thee: thou art my God, and I will praise thee. O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is gracious: for his mercy endureth for ever. Please stand, as you are able. 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. First Lesson Please be seated. Zechariah 12: 9-11, 13: 1, 7-9 Reader And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour out a spirit of compassion and supplication on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that, when they look on the one whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be as great as the mourning for Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. On that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. ‘Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate,’ says the Lord of hosts. Strike the shepherd, that the sheep may be scattered; I will turn my hand against the little ones. In the 3 whole land, says the Lord, two-thirds shall be cut off and perish, and one-third shall be left alive. And I will put this third into the fire, refine them as one refines silver, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on my name, and I will answer them. I will say, ‘They are my people’; and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’ Reader Here endeth the first lesson. Magnificat Please stand, as you are able. Henry Purcell in G Minor Choir My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

  • The Crucifixion: Stainer's Invention of the Anglican Passion
    The Crucifixion: Stainer’s Invention of the Anglican Passion and Its Subsequent Influence on Descendent Works by Maunder, Somervell, Wood, and Thiman Matthew Hoch Abstract The Anglican Passion is a largely forgotten genre that flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Modeled distinctly after the Lutheran Passion— particularly in its use of congregational hymns that punctuate and comment upon the drama—Anglican Passions also owe much to the rise of hymnody and small parish music-making in England during the latter part of the nineteenth century. John Stainer’s The Crucifixion (1887) is a quintessential example of the genre and the Anglican Passion that is most often performed and recorded. This article traces the origins of the genre and explores lesser-known early twentieth-century Anglican Passions that are direct descendants of Stainer’s work. Four works in particular will be reviewed within this historical context: John Henry Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary (1904), Arthur Somervell’s The Passion of Christ (1914), Charles Wood’s The Passion of Our Lord according to St Mark (1920), and Eric Thiman’s The Last Supper (1930). Examining these works in a sequential order reveals a distinct evolution and decline of the genre over the course of these decades, with Wood’s masterpiece standing as the towering achievement of the Anglican Passion genre in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The article concludes with a call for reappraisal of these underperformed works and their potential use in modern liturgical worship. A Brief History of the Passion Genre from the sung in plainchant, and this practice continued Medieval Era to the Eighteenth Century through the late medieval and early Renaissance eras.

  • Interpreting John Stainer's “Crucifixion”
    T A Composer at the Cross: Interpreting John Stainer’s “Crucifixion” Louise Joy Lawrence Introduction T Few could hear John 3:16–17 in quite the same way after witnessing Sir John Stainer’s 1887 setting of it.2 This Victorian composer’s oratorio The Crucifixion, of which God so Loved the World is the centrepiece, is largely based on a synthesis of the gospel accounts of the passion. These are interspersed by chorales and hymns devised by the librettist Rev. William Sparrow-Simpson. This oratorio has single-handedly kept Stainer’s legacy flourishing today. Its dramatic, meditative and memorable choruses have endeared it to many churches’ celebrations of Holy Week and instituted it as one of the most widely sung Passion oratorios in Britain. Stainer’s Crucifixion however, has not always enjoyed universal appeal. It was severely derided by some quarters in his own time. The libretto especially fuelled vehement criticism from those who found Sparrow-Simpson’s words too evocative of the liturgical styles of his time. The relative simplicity of Stainer’s score likewise came in for a measure of elitist condemnation, being variously described as ‘vulgar’ and ‘theatrical’3. If ‘vulgarity’ however, is the fiercest charge to be brought against the work, it is ‘vulgar’ in the best sense of the term4. Vulgar at base denotes association with the common people. If Stainer’s oratorio achieves anything, it fosters communion between participants, functions as a tool for worshipping God and is accessible to amateur singers in common parish choirs and congregations. The present discussion will seek to document the oratorio’s biblical antecedents.

  • Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church A TREATISE Submitted to the Faculty of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in Sacred Music © All Rights Reserved By Jennifer L. Seighman Washington, D.C. 2015 Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church Jennifer L. Seighman, D.M.A. Director: Leo Nestor, D.M.A. Choir schools have been an intrinsic part of the Catholic Church since the fourth century. While the Holy See has instructed that such schools and training be diligently promoted, few programs exist, and even less is known about them. This paper provides much-needed research on Catholic choir school programs and the benefits they offer to the twenty-first-century Church, particularly in bringing the musico-liturgical goals of the Second Vatican Council to fruition. Using a multi-case-study approach, I investigate the only known Catholic institutions in the United States currently employing a traditional choir school education of rigorous daily instruction in choir and sung liturgy: St. Paul’s Choir School (Cambridge, MA), The Madeleine Choir School (Salt Lake City, UT), and The Atonement Academy (San Antonio, TX). To formulate the framework for this study, a survey of related literature was made encompassing musico-liturgical directives of the Second Vatican Council, Church documents calling for chorister formation, papal writings, scholarly sources addressing sacred music within the Catholic Church, and various sets of education standards.
