FULLY ALIVE WITH THE PASSION OF CHRIST The Visitation by Rafael Sanzio “All at once I was overcome by a sensation that is difficult to describe: all at once I seemed to rise above all the coordinates of my momentary existence in the world into a kind of state outside time in which all the beautiful things I had ever seen and experienced existed in a total ‘co-present’; I felt a sense of reconciliation, indeed of an almost gentle assent to the inevitable course of events as revealed to me now, and this combined with a carefree determination to face what had to be faced. A profound amazement at the sovereignty of Being became a dizzying sensation of tumbling endlessly into the abyss of its mystery; an unbounded joy at being alive, at having been given the chance to live through all I have lived through, and at the fact that everything has a deep and obvious meaning – this joy formed a strange alliance in me with a vague horror at the inapprehensibility and unattainability of everything I was so close to in that moment, standing at the very ‘edge of the infinite’; I was flooded with a sense of ultimate happiness and harmony with the world and with myself, I would even say that I was somehow ‘struck by love,’ ” Vaclav Havel, writing from a communist prison in Czechoslovakia, before later becoming the nation’s President in 1989 SOUTH HIGHLAND 132 PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CELEBRATING OUR 132ND YEAR OF FAITHFUL SERVICE NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE FROM, WE ARE GLAD YOU ARE OUR NEIGHBOR.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us, and we rejoiced. Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like the watercourses in the Negeb. May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy. Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.

Parker Morris The Advent wreath is a circle with no beginning and no end. It is a symbol of God’s unending love and faithfulness. Isaiah the prophet calls us to prepare for the coming of Jesus by making straight all that is crooked: A voice cries out: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Let us prepare for Jesus, the Christ, who is anointed by God to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners. For as a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Lord God will cause Isaiah 40:3, 5; 61:1, 11 righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. Let us walk in the light of the Lord, Let us pray: Almighty God, you have made us and all things to serve you, now prepare the world for your rule. Come quickly to save us, so that wars and violence shall end, and your children may live in peace, honoring one another with justice and love; through Jesus Christ, who lives in power with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Rev. Dr. Larry Michael CALL TO CONFESSION PRAYER OF CONFESSION O promised Christ: We are a world at war. Our peace depends on your coming. We are a sinful people. Our pardon depends on your coming. We are full of good intentions but weak at keeping prom- ises; our only hope of doing God’s will is that you should come and help us do it. LORD Christ, Word made flesh, our world waits for your peace, for your pardon, and for your grace. Even so: come, LORD Jesus.

The Savior has come, has our poor flesh and blood taken upon Himself, and accepts us as blood-relations. O, greatest of all good, what have you not done for us? What do you not do daily for those who are yours? You come and let your light with full blessing shine. ARIA “Komm, Jesu, komm” J.S.

They will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, to display his glory. 4 They shall build up the ancient ruins, they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities,the devastations of many generations. 8 For I the Lord love justice, I hate robbery and wrongdoing; I will faith- fully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. 9 Their descendants shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge that they are a people whom the Lord has blessed. 10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11 For as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Rick Atkerson, tenor RECITATIVO “Siehe, siehe, ich stehe vor der Tür” J.S. Bach Tyra Shelley, (Now behold me!

The German Cantata Before Bach In Germany, Lutheran composers adapted the genre that had originated in Italy as a secular work intended for aristocratic chamber settings. Defined loosely as a work for one or more voices with independent instrumental accompaniment, usually in discrete sections, and employing the ‘theatrical’ style of opera, the Italian cantata it was originally modest in scope—usually comprising no more than a couple of recitative-aria pairs, with an accompaniment of basso continuo. By the 1700s, however, it had begun to include other instruments, and had grown to include multiple, contrasting movements. Italian composers occasionally wrote sacred cantatas, though not for liturgical use. In Germany, however, Lutheran composers adapted the genre for use in the main weekly service, where it subsumed musical elements already present: the concerted motet and the chorale.

    Vorwort „Bachtage digital“? – Das hätten wir alle uns bis vor kurzem nicht träumen lassen. Die Greifswalder Bachwoche lebt von der Gemeinschaft, der Bachwochenfamilie, den Mitsingeprojekten... und der gemeinsamen Begeisterung für die Musik von Johann Sebastian Bach. MO Nun ist alles anders, gleichwohl: Wir lassen uns nicht unterkriegen und sagen mit Psalm 73 „Dennoch...“! Das geplante Programm ›paradiesisch‹ wird auf das kommende Jahr verschoben. In diesem Jahr stellen wir stattdessen am 13. und 14. Juni ein verkürztes Programm mit digitalen Angeboten ins Netz, um Sie an der Musik Bachs und den DI gewohnten Formaten teilhaben zu lassen – von der Clavichordmusik bis zu ›Bach zur Nacht‹, von Orgel- und Kammermusik bis zum Festgottesdienst am Sonntagmorgen. Die Angebote der 74. Bachwoche werden vorproduziert und können dann auf der Website der Greifswalder Bachwoche www.greifswalder-bachwoche.de am 13. Juni ab MI 14 Uhr verfolgt werden.

    The End is Nigh: Reflections of Philipp Nicolai's Eschatology in BWV 1 and BWV 140 Master's Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Music Dr. Eric Chafe, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts in Musicology by Hannah Spencer May 2015 ABSTRACT The End is Nigh: Reflections of Philipp Nicolai's Eschatology in BWV 1 and BWV 140 A thesis presented to Department of Music Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Hannah Spencer In his mission to create a better repertoire of "well-regulated church music to the Glory of God," J.S. Bach utilized every aspect of his craft. Aside from the rich texts penned by his anonymous librettist, Bach intentionally utilized specific musical gestures to intertwine the Gospel into each layer of his compositions. In the case of BWV 1 and BWV 140 , Bach makes compositional choices that allow him to depict the eschatological viewpoint of Phillip Nicolai, the Lutheran theologian who penned the chorales used as the basis of these chorale cantatas. By analyzing Bach's use of such devices as large-scale harmonic patterns, melodic motives, and the structural use of chiasm, the depiction of motion between the realms of Heaven and Earth becomes clear. More than simply "church music," Bach's cantatas are musical sermons of intricate detail. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract..........................................................................................................................................ii

M. Denton, Texas August, 1961 PREFACE The chorale Wie schn iihtet derMorgenstern was popular from its very outset in 1589. That it has retained its popularity down to the present day is evident by its continually appearing in hymnbooks and being used as a cantus in organ compositions as well as forming the basis for other media of musical composition. The treatment of organ compositions based on this single chorale not only exemplifies the curiously novel attraction that this tune has held for composers, but also supplies a common denominator by which the history of the organ chorale can be generally stated. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE . * . * . * . * * * . * .

  • I Know My Faith Is Founded” (Lutheran Service Book #587)

    I Know My Faith Is Founded” (Lutheran Service Book #587)

    Proper 22/20th Sunday after Pentecost (Series C) “I Know My Faith Is Founded” (Lutheran Service Book #587) After Jesus says some words about stumbling and sinning and the need to forgive someone who sins and is repentant – all recorded at the beginning of Luke 17, his followers say “Increase our faith!” (Luke 17:5). The exclamation point is right there in the NRSV, so these words are a command, or an urgent plea. The disciples say them in response to the words about stumbling and sinning, apparently understanding that they are not strong enough to resist opportunities to stumble or temptations to sin. Erdmann Neumeister, the late 17th and early 18th century poet, puts all that in the person of Satan at the beginning of stanza two of his chorale, “I Know My Faith Is Founded.” But before we get there, we must linger a bit with the words of stanza one. Here the singer makes a bold statement of faith, sounding like Peter in some of his rash moments recounted in the Gospels. “I know . unmoved I stand . my faith shall rest secure.” These are bold words that we sing. Then stanza two begins, and things shift quickly. Increase my faith, dear Savior, for Satan seeks by night and day to rob me of this treasure and take my hope of bliss away. Neumeister puts into Satan, who Luther named “the ancient foe,” all the things that trouble our faith. With all that we encounter, whether it’s the temptation to trust in our own reason and strength, or the evil we see and hear in our world, we know we must echo the Lukan disciples and cry “increase my faith!” This week, in the news, we saw and heard about stabbings at a mall in Minnesota with nine people injured, and about bombs in New Jersey and New York injuring 29, and about a cease fire unravelling in Syria.
