  • Program Notes Gloria, Vivaldi Venice, in the Early Eighteenth Century, Was
    Program Notes Gloria, Vivaldi Venice, in the early eighteenth century, was a remarkably enlightened city-state and its governors saw fit to provide well for its poor, its sick, and its abandoned. The Ospedale della Pietá was one of four charitable institutions, this one for orphaned or abandoned babies. As the babies grew up, the boys were trained as craftsmen, the girls in lace- making and laundering, unless they showed special musical talent. If they were musically gifted, they received the finest instrumental and vocal training imaginable. Vivaldi, Il Pretto Roso (The Red Priest, so called because of his flaming red hair) was contracted by the Ospedale as a part time instructor. His title was Maestro di Violino. He was never was able to convince the board of the Ospedale to offer him the more prestigious full-time position of Maestro di Coro. Only when the installed Maestro di Coro took ill was Vivaldi asked to stand in as substitute for him and it was during these years, from 1713-1719, and again in 1739, that he wrote sacred choral music for the Ospedale. Such was the accomplishment of the girls and women singers and instrumentalists that, according to Charles de Brosses, writing in 1739, “The girls sing like angels, and play the violin, the flute, the organ, the oboe, the cello, the bassoon, in short there is no instrument large enough to frighten them.” French philosopher, Jean Jacques Rousseau, wrote: "Every Sunday in the churches of the four scuole, during Vespers, there are motets for a large chorus and orchestra.

    Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that breathes praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Psalm 150:1-6) Dear Friends, Trinity has been celebrating our 125th Anniversary (our quasquicentennial anniversary) in some really wonderful ways so far this year. Under the leadership of our Senior Warden, Bob Moore, we experienced a truly wonderful dinner and dance celebrating the 1920’s. Deborah Moore and her kitchen helpers (especially Linda Bond, Emily Malmevik, Finian Baird and Tiernan Baird) prepared and served up a tremendous meal. For the auction portion of the event, our Junior Warden, Melody Oxley and Vestry member Carol Bartley provided organization and leadership. Every member of the Vestry demonstrated a genuine commitment to serving our parish with generosity and creativity to make the event a successful fundraiser for us, bringing in just under $10,000. On Trinity Sunday, we enjoyed a wonderful brunch prepared by Charlene Rawson and her friend, with lovely decorations prepared by Aileen Barker and Dianne McCormack. Members of Historic Everett joined us for celebrations that day, including a really wonderful slide presentation by Jack O’Donnell. So many members of our music program contributed their talents to our combine morning service that day that one visitor remarked to me, “I think that I may need to change churches!” In the afternoon of Trinity Sunday, David Spring conducted our choirs and a chamber orchestra in a special anniversary concert, in which we were joined by six area faith leaders who contributed beautiful prayers for peace from their spiritual traditions.

  • GIVE ME HUNGER by Jake Runestad
    JR0069 Jake Runestad GIVE ME HUNGER SATB choir (divisi) Music jakerunestad.com Text At a Window Carl Sandburg Give me hunger, O you gods that sit and give The world its orders. Give me hunger, pain and want, Shut me out with shame and failure From your doors of gold and fame, Give me your shabbiest, weariest hunger! But leave me a little love, A voice to speak to me in the day end, A hand to touch me in the dark room Breaking the long loneliness. In the dusk of day-shapes Blurring the sunset, One little wandering, western star Thrust out from the changing shores of shadow. Let me go to the window, Watch the day-shapes of dusk And wait and know the coming Of a little love.
