Hymn-singing is an essential element in Mennonite theological formation. In the process of interviewing a wide range of Mennonite worshippers, Kropf and Nafziger found that for many, there is little in corporate worship that needs to be done that cannot be done by singing together. Singing can gather the congregation; it can become the vehicle of praise, confession, and intercession; it can speak the word of God; it can transform and empower a people. It not only carries the actions of worship forward, it is the primary action of worship. 5 Although the phenomenon of hymn-singing has been studied in recent years, little attention has been given to the influence of hymnal redaction upon Mennonite theology. If the quotations above are correct, then denominational hymnals should be considered descriptive 1 Rebecca Slough, ed., Hymnal: A Worship Book: Prepared by Churches in the Believers Church Tradition (Elgin, IL:Brethren Press 1992) iii. 2 Marlene Kropf and Kenneth Nafziger, Singing, A Mennonite Voice (Scottdale, PA: Herald Press: 2001) 113. 3 Ibid., 115. 4 Ibid., 111. 5 Ibid., 27. 5 sourcebooks for many questions of theology and practice. They provide records of what theology reaches the hearts, minds and lips of worshippers. Because they are revised, updated, and edited every few decades, studying a range of hymnals provides a panorama of theological change over several generations. Mennonites have produced very few of the individual songs that appear in Mennonite hymnals, which means that hymnal editors must borrow resources from a wide ecumenical body of hymnody. What I refer to as “Mennonite Hymnody,” therefore, is really the body of hymns that Mennonites have borrowed from other traditions. 6 Method I first tested this idea of hymnals as historical sourcebooks of theology in January 2004 during a course taught by Eleanor Kreider on Communion at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary. I examined twentieth-century English-language Mennonite hymnals for what they revealed about the shifting practices of the Lord’s Supper. I found that, in fact, the hymnals served as very reliable guides to transitions in thought and practice. Subsequently, that study was published. 7 Realizing the value of this method of research, I now hope to confirm its usefulness in a more expansive study. Here, I have examined six hymnals, each one an official denominational publication, to determine what each says about the earthly life of Jesus Christ. Eleanor Kreider points to Jesus Christ as the proper center of worship: The primary theme of New Testament worship, the thread that runs through all, is devotion to Jesus Christ, who was acknowledged as Messiah and Lord. Worship texts and rites always point to this one person. Who was Jesus? How could Christians express their relationship to him? If the central meaning of New Testament worship texts, its 6 A list in the Appendix indicates the ecumenical popularity of many hymns commonly used by Mennonites. 7 Adam M. L. Tice, “Singing Shapes Communion: The Progression of Eucharistic Theology in 20 th Century Mennonite Hymnals,” The Conrad Grebel Review 24, no. 3, Fall 2006, 45-64. 6 binding quality, is Jesus, then to be true to the New Testament in our worship, we too must look to Jesus as the measure of our worship. 8 This thesis will demonstrate that every hymnal provides an implicit narrative of Jesus’ life. Editors and committees have made decisions about exclusion and inclusion of hymns that shape our understandings of Jesus. I will examine the redaction of North American Mennonite hymnals as it has influenced Mennonite narratives of Jesus. Rather than study individual hymns in great depth, I will examine the overall impression of Jesus that the average, thoughtful Mennonite worshipper would encounter over the span of a hymnal’s use. The hymnals under consideration are Church and Sunday School Hymnal with Supplement, 1902, supplement 1911 (hereafter MC1), 9 Church Hymnal , 1927 (hereafter MC2), 10 Mennonite Hymn Book , 1927 (hereafter GC1 ), 11 The Mennonite Hymnary , 1940 (hereafter GC2), 12 Mennonite Hymnal , 1969 (hereafter MH), 13 and Hymnal: A Worship Book , 1992 (hereafter HWB). The (Old) Mennonite Church (MC) produced the first two listed. The third and fourth were produced by the General Conference Mennonite Church (GC). The fifth and sixth were produced jointly. There would be good reason to include German language hymnals as well. Because I am examining change over time, it makes the most sense to concentrate on hymnals that share the most common material, which means concentrating on one language. GC Mennonites in particular continued to use and publish German hymnals into the 1960s. These 8 Eleanor Kreider, “Worship: True to Jesus,” in Bernie Neufeld, ed., Music in Worship: A Mennonite Perspective , (Scottdale, PA: Herald Press 1998) 18-19. 9 J. D.

Hohmann and Lester Hostetler, eds., The Mennonite Hymnary, Published by the Board of Publication of the General Conference of the Mennonite Church of North America (Berne, IN: Mennonite Book Concern 1940). 13 The Mennonite Hymnal (Newton, KS: Faith and Life Press 1969). 7 were most influential in Canada. Comparison of the contents of those hymnals with the English- language ones would be fruitful, but is beyond the scope of this study. I selected hymns from the six hymnals dealing with Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, the life and teachings of Jesus, Palm Sunday, Passion, Easter, and Ascension. 14 This follows the organization of most of the hymnals, which generally group the hymns according to the church calendar. For the purposes of this study, my definition of “hymn” is quite broad—I include any text that is intended to be sung and included in these hymnals as a hymn. Additional hymns from supplemental sections that appear to be grouped according to these themes have also been included—an example being Christmas hymns from the MH Gospel Songs section. The tables of contents were the primary guides for locating these hymns. MC1 has no table of contents, so I surveyed the index and the contents of entire collection. This process created a manageable sample of hymns for the purposes of this study. Other criteria might have been used to either limit or expand the list, and there is certainly the risk that some hymns may have been missed. For example, using these discrete sections of the hymnals means that many Lord’s Supper and Baptism hymns did not make the list. However, in order to create an overall impression of the life of Jesus as reported in each hymnal, this sampling should be more than adequate. My thesis is that major expansions in the Jesus narrative occur within these hymnals. In the earlier hymnals, the life of Jesus is heavily focused upon the Passion. Later hymnals, while still retaining a large number of Passion hymns, offer much more (both in volume and variety) on his birth, life and teaching, and resurrection. I will show that GC narratives were much more influential than MC in the formation of joint hymnals. As a source of comparison, I will examine confessions of faith from the same periods as these hymnals.

    { to,26?5 THE ORGAN WORKS OF HEALEY WILLAN THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Music By Robert L. Massingham, B. S., M. S. Denton, Texas August, 1957 PREFACE LHealey Willan occupies an unique position in Canadian Music and can be considered as that nation's "elder musical statesman." At the time of writing he is a septuagenarian and still very much active in his profession. Born and trained in England, he was well-established there when he was persuaded to come to Toronto, Canada, in 1913 at the age of thirty-three. Since that time he has contributed enor- iously to the growth of music in his adopted country, carry- ing on the traditions of his fine English background in music while encouraging the development of native individuality in Canadian music. Iillan has been first and foremost a musician of the church--an organist and choirmaster--a proud field which can boast many an eminent name in music including that of J. S. Bach. Willan's creativity in music has flowered in many other directions--as a distinguished teacher, as a lecturer and recitalist, and as a composer. He has written in all forms and for all instruments, but his greatest renown, at any rate in the TUnited States, is for his organ and choral works. The latter constitute his largest single body of compositions by numerical count of titles, and his organ works are in a close second place. iii Willants Introduction, Passaqaglia, and Fuue has been well-known for decades as one of the finest compositions in organ literature, enjoying a position alongside the organ works of Liszt, Yranck, and Reubke.

  • The Use of Multiple Stops in Works for Solo Violin by Johann Paul Von
    THE USE OF MULTIPLE STOPS IN WORKS FOR SOLO VIOLIN BY JOHANN PAUL VON WESTHOFF (1656-1705) AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO GERMAN POLYPHONIC WRITING FOR A SINGLE INSTRUMENT Beixi Gao, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2017 APPROVED: Julia Bushkova, Major Professor Paul Leenhouts, Committee Member Susan Dubois, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Vice Provost of the Toulouse Graduate School Gao, Beixi. The Use of Multiple Stops in Works for Solo Violin by Johann Paul Von Westhoff (1656-1705) and Its Relationship to German Polyphonic Writing for a Single Instrument. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2017, 32 pp., 19 musical examples, bibliography, 46 titles. Johann Paul von Westhoff's (1656-1705) solo violin works, consisting of Suite pour le violon sans basse continue published in 1683 and Six Suites for Violin Solo in 1696, feature extensive use of multiple stops, which represents a German polyphonic style of the seventeenth- century instrumental music. However, the Six Suites had escaped the public's attention for nearly three hundred years until its rediscovery by the musicologist Peter Várnai in the late twentieth century. This project focuses on polyphonic writing featured in the solo violin works by von Westhoff. In order to fully understand the stylistic traits of this less well-known collection, a brief summary of the composer, Johann Paul Westhoff, and an overview of the historical background of his time is included in this document.

    1 COMMUNITY CHORUS PROJECT, KIDZU CHILDREN’S MUSEUM & UNIVERSITY PLACE PRESENT A HOLIDAY SING ALONG! Conducted by Caroline Miceli & Accompanied by Scott Schlesinger JINGLE BELLS A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Refrain: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Is the hope of Janice and Jen; Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ev'rywhere you go; Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, Over fields we go, laughing all the way The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; What fun it is to ride & sing a sleigh song tonight! (Refrain) Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride sing right within your heart And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank. Misfortune seemed his lot, Santa Claus is Coming to Town We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot.
