CHORISTERS1 GUILD LETTERS Volume 9 1957-1958 Number 1 i 4 CHORISTERS1 GUILD LETTERS Volume 9 1957-1958 Number 1 Choristers! Guild Box 211 Santa Barbara, California - WE DEDICATE OURSELVES ANEW Minister: It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto Thy name, 0 Most High; to show forth Thy lovingkindness in the morning and Thy faithfulness every night. Chorister: I will praise Thee, 0 Lord, with all my heart. I will show forth Thy marvelous works, I will be glad and rejoice in Thee. I will sing praises to Thy name, 0 Most High. A Braver: We thank Thee, Lord, for the privilege of worshipping and praising Thee; for the privilege and blessing of a song in our hearts; for careful work and preparation that develops that song in beauty and content to be worthy of Thee in Thy house. We thank Thee, too, for Thy divine apportionment that gives to all men everywhere and at all times the opportunity to serve Thee and. Thy Church with the gifts Thou hast bestowed upon us. May Thy Holy Spirit dwelling within us make our lives a living song of praise unto Thee. --- Amen. Minister: The ministry of music is not to be entered into lightly. To lead the people in sincere expressions of praise and prayer requires dedication of self. But the rewards of such service are self-respect and a deeper sense of the nearness of God. Do you dedicate yourselves to the principles for which your choir and your church stand: faithful- ness to duty, thoughtfulness of cAhers, and loyalty to Christ? Chorister: I do so dedicat-) Minister: Ministering in the namL of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of this church in which you serve Him, I place upon you the responsibility of the office of a chorister. 0 Lord, Author of all things true and beautiful, bless these Thy servants, and lead them in their worshipping that their lips may praise Thee, their thoughts glorify Thee, and their lives honor Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Chorister: God of all lovely sound, grant us a share in Thy great harmonies of earth and air. Make us Thy choristers that we maybe worthy to offer music unto Thee. Amen. Minister: May the Lord Jesus Christ keep you steadfast in your purpose, and faithful in your endeavor, now and always. May the consciousness of His presence be and abide with you forever. Amen. - 1 - RELIGIOUS TRAINING IN THE CHOIR The ultimate consideration in the choir program is not music, but character. No matter how excellent the music and its performance may be, that is not enough for the church choir. Through the preparation and presentation of fine music, the children must grow not only in character, but in Christian character. It is true that there is no better way than choir participation to learn self-control and cooperation. It is also undeniable that the regular responsibility of ac- tive worship participation enriches and matures the worship experience of the child. But our responsibility does not end there. Not only must we seize every opportunity to guide the character development of the child, but a definite pro- gram of Christian education should be an integral part of the regular rehearsal procedure. "The Christian Church, true to the insight of its Leader, believes that life, to be meaningful and significant, must be centered in God. The Church School therefore believes that it has the distinctive and indispensible task in modern life - -to give an understanding of the Christian religion as it comes to us in history, especially in the Bible; to present a clear grasp of the beliefs and ideals which make up the Christian faith; to enable young people to see what is the Christian way of life; and to help them enter intelligently, consciously, and purposefully into that way of life." This clearly defined goal of the First Methodist Church School of Evanston, Illinois, sums up as well what should be the objective of every Children's Choir. To the conscientious choirmaster, the whole church school is his charge. The choir is not a group apart from the school, but an integral part, that be- cause of its additional opportunities has correspondingly equal obligations. If the church school has an intelligent and carefully integrated program of Christian education, the director can build his musical program around that schedule. If the church school is disorganized and ineffectual, the director should throw active support into the inauguration of a comprehensive plan. By far the best systematic program of progressive Christian education I have ever seen is the one outlined several years ago for the First Methodist Church of Evanston in its Curriculum Guide, which was made available in printed form to all church members, especially parents. Not only was there a detailed course of study, with suitable textbooks for all ages from the nursery through the High School Fellowship, but for each department and subject there was a splendid reading list for the students, and another for the parents. The church also maintains a library of slides, recordings and films for class use. The subject study for the seventh grade, for instance, was the life of Christ. Besides the weekly outline and the basic text (Jesus, the Carpenter's Son - -So - phia Fahs) the following books were recommended for correlated reading: For Junior High Young People The Story of Jesus for Young People -- W.R. Bowie By An Unknown Disciple The Junior Bible -- Edgar J. Goddspeed Jesus -- Mary E. Lyman The Hidden Years -- John Oxenham The Children's Bible -- Sherman and Kent For Parents and Teachers The Teachings of Jesus -- Harvie Branscomb Our Discovery of Jesus -- W.E. Bundy Jesus, A New Biography -- S.J. Case A Life of Jesus -- Basil Mathews The Ethical Teachings of Jesus -- Ernest F. Scott The Literature of the New Testament -- Ernest F. Scott Audio-visual aids available for class use were: A Certain Nobleman (Cathedral Films) A Voice in the Wilderness (Cathedral Films) Men of Faith (Cathedral Films) The Blind Beggar of Jerusalem (Cathedral Films) Who is My Neighbor (Cathedral Films) The Great Commandment - 2 - A GOOD START IS HALF THE BATTLE September Plans for University Park Methodist Church -- Bob Scoggins At our recent "all-staff retreat", we designated September as Church Music Month during which time the total ministry through music will receive emphasis. In brief outline form, these are some of the detailed plans. 1.Prepare a brochure on "The Ministry of Music", describing the opportun- ities offered by the church. 2.Place posters (made by young people) telling about choir for each age, in Church School classrooms. 3.Place through the church, in the narthex, Educational Building, Recrea- tional Areas, etc., six large, professionally made posters. 4.Prepare displays for window cases in the Educational Building -- a large one showing the visual set-up of the Choir program; a small one displaying the materials used in teaching. 5.Write articles for the weekly Church Newspaper (with main headlines) prior to Choir Registration and Choir Dedication dates. 6.General letter mailed with brochure, to all church families, emphasizing "A Choir for Every Family -- Every Family in a Choir." 7.Personal letters, with information about the appropriate choir, mailed to entire Church School enrollment with an invitation to join. 8.Choir mothers' meetings; also regular monthly meetings of Music Committee. Visitation program begins. 9.September 7 -- Choir Registration and Orientation Day for all Children's Choirs -- plans and policies to be explained to the parents, and questions answered. Light refreshments.

Congregational Hymn-practice on midweek Family Night. 12.Last Sunday in September ALL CHOIRS DEDICATION SERVICE at both morning services. All Children and Youth Choir members attend the last half of the second session of the church school. 13.Detailed information Sunday by Sunday during September. First Sunday -- Circulars to be passed throughout the Church School classes.

  • Choir School News • 3 Memories of John Scott from the Choir School Community
    Can- Dom- tate ino Choir School News A Newsletter for Alumni & Friends of Saint Thomas Choir School WINTER/SPRING 2016 ©2016 Studios Ira Lippke John Gavin Scott (1956-2015) This edition of the Choir School News is in thanksgiving for the life and witness of John Scott. Here, alumni, parents, colleagues and friends share memories and reflections of his extraordinary impact on this community. Through John’s gifts, people not only experienced music of the highest caliber, but were also drawn deeper into the mystery of God. For all of us, John’s death was a terrible shock. It has caused us to reflect on how fragile life can be. Even as we have moved forward at the Choir School, we continue to miss him and entrust him to God’s care and protection. I invite you to share in our common life through these pages. –Charles F. Wallace, Headmaster IN MEMORIAM EXCERPTS FROM FATHER MEAD’S HOMILY AT JOHN SCOTT’S FUNERAL Evensong and a recital of Buxtehude. I asked John, who was then forty-seven but had been at St. Paul’s since his mid-twenties, would he be interested in coming to Saint Thomas? He would be interested, he replied, but that if I would please understand he would like not to have to apply. Very well; would he give me his resume? Yes, he would. This was pure John. As John prepared to leave St. Paul’s, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth made him a Lieutenant of the Victorian Order (LVO) for his distinguished services to the Crown at London’s great cathedral, where John led the music for many royal and state occasions – not to mention the daily round of choral evensongs and other liturgies.

Fountain Updated December 2014 1 SUBJECT INDEX Page A - Country Life; Fairs; Rural Sports, Transport and Genre. 7 - 11 D - Dogs; excluding hounds hunting. 12 - 23 E - Horses at Liberty. 24 - 58 G - Horses with grooms and attendants (excluding stabled horses). 59 - 64 H - Portraits of Gentlemen and Lady Riders. 65 - 77 J - Stabled Horses. 74 - 77 M - Military Subjects. 79 P - Hunting; Hunts and Hounds. 80 - 90 S - Shooting. 91 - 93 T - Portraits of Racehorses, Jockeys, Trainers and Races. 94 - 99 U - Portraits of Individuals and Families (Excluding equestrian and sporting). 100 - 104 Index of Clients 105 - 140 2 NOTES ON INDEX The basis of the index are John Ferneley’s three account books transcribed by Guy Paget and published in the latter’s book The Melton Mowbray of John Ferneley, 1931. There are some caveats; Ferneley’s writing was always difficult to read, the accounts do not start until 1808, are incomplete for his Irish visits 1809-1812 and pages are missing for entries in the years 1820-1826. There are also a significant number of works undoubtedly by John Ferneley senior that are not listed (about 15-20%) these include paintings that were not commissioned or sold, those painted for friends and family and copies. A further problem arises with unlisted paintings which are not signed in full ie J. Ferneley/Melton Mowbray/xxxx or J. Ferneley/pinxt/xxxx but only with initials, J. Ferneley/xxxx, or not at all. These paintings may be by John Ferneley junior or Claude Loraine Ferneley whose work when at its best is difficult, if not impossible, to distinguish from that of their father or may be by either son with the help of their father.

James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, reported that the value of farm products In the United States for that year was $4,900,000,000—nearly double the gross earnings of the railroads added to the value of the production of all the mines of the country for the same period. This official statement opened the eyes of feverish municipalities to the Importance of agricultural life. The value of horses owned by farmers Is placed at $1,150,000,000. In 1905 horses Increased In num- ber to 17,000,000, and In value to $1,200,000,000. The type of the farm horse has been elevated by the dissemination of blood, the virtue of which was proved by the sharpest of physical tests. For genera- tions the progressive farmer has striven to excel in the creation of an animal combining activity with strength, and his trial ground has been the road and oval at the County or District Fair.

    A TEACHER'S PRAYER Lord, I thank Thee for the chance to work at a task that makes the hours so full. Let me use those hours to guide the precious lives entrusted to my care in ways of good- ness. Help me to be calm in the face of disturbance, kind to all regardless of circumstance, tolerant when under- standing is lacking, and faithful in duties great and small. I pray for the strength of mind and body to do what is expected of me without losing my willing spirit. For- give the mistakes I made this day, and give me wisdom to correct them. In the name of the Great Teacher, I pray. Amen. --Frances H Butler MY CODE I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able, as days go by, Always to look myself straight, in the eye. I don't want to stand, with the setting sun, And hate myself for the things I've done. I want to go out with my head erect; I want to deserve all men's respect: But here in the struggle for fame and pelf, I want to he able to like myself. I don't want to look at myself and know That I'm bluster and bluff and empty show. I never can fool myself, and so Whatever happens, I want to be Self-respecting and conscience free. Author unknown.
