Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. 3 FIRST READING Numbers 6:22-27 The Lord said to Moses: “Speak to Aaron and his sons and tell them: This is how you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them: The Lord bless you and keep you! The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace! So shall they invoke my name upon the Israelites, and I will bless them.” RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 66 (67):2-3, 5, 6, 8 James D. Wetzel (b. 1987) May God have pity on us and bless us; May the peoples praise you, O God; may he let his face shine upon us. may all the peoples praise you! So may your way be known upon earth; May God bless us, among all nations, your salvation. and may all the ends of the earth fear him! May the nations be glad and exult because you rule the peoples in equity; the nations on the earth you guide. SECOND READING Galatians 4:4-7 Brothers and sisters: When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to ransom those under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. As proof that you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then also an heir, through God. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Hebrews 1:1-2 Chant, mode viii V. In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets; in these last days, he has spoken to us through the Son. 4 GOSPEL Luke 2:16-21 The shepherds went in haste to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child. All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds. And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them. When eight days were completed for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS O God, who in your kindness begin all good things and bring them to fulfillment, grant to us, who find joy in the Solemnity of the holy Mother of God, that, just as we glory in the beginnings of your grace, so one day we may rejoice in its completion. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. PREFACE 5 It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God, and praise, bless and glorify your name on the Solemnity of the Motherhood of the Blessed ever-Virgin Mary. For by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit, she conceived your Only Begotten Son, and without losing the glory of virginity, brought forth into the world the eternal Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Through him the Angels praise your majesty, Dominions adore and Powers tremble before you. Heaven and the Virtues of heaven and the blessed Seraphim worship together with exultation. May our voices, we pray, join with theirs in humble praise as we acclaim: SANCTUS Missa VIII: de angelis Chant, mode vi 6 MYSTERY OF FAITH AMEN COMMUNION RITE PATER NOSTER SIGN OF PEACE AND AGNUS DEI Missa VIII: de angelis Chant, mode vi 7 COMMUNION ANTIPHON Exsulta, filia Sion Zechariah 9:9 Chant, mode iv Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout for joy, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold your King comes, the holy one and Savior of the world.

Rabanus Maurus (c. 776-856); trans. Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Tune: LAMBILLOTTE; Louis Lambillotte (1796-1855) POSTLUDE Johann Sebastian Bach ORGELBÜCHLEIN In dir ist Freude, BWV 615 [In you is joy] MUSIC NOTES The organ voluntaries today are taken from the Christmas/New Year section of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Orgelbüchlein (‘Little Organ Book’), a set of short 45 chorale preludes that were mostly written between 1708 and 1717 when Bach was organist to the ducal court in Weimar. Although intended to comprise 164 settings of the chorale tunes sung over the course of the liturgical year, the collection as it stands does generally survey the year. A number of compositional styles are represented in the set (e.g. ornamented cantus firmus, trio sonata, etc.), with Bach ingeniously combining accessibility of length and difficulty with superb craftsmanship, so that the Orgelbüchlein is at once considered a practical book for the average organist and a treatise on stylistic purity. Choral music at next Sunday’s Solemn Mass and Three Kings Procession for the Solemnity of the Epiphany: Flor Peeters’s Missa in honorem Sancti Josephi, Op. 21; Jacob Handl’s Omnes de Saba venient; Jacob Regnart’s O admirabile commercium; and Philippe de Monte’s Stellam quam viderunt Magi. Parish Vespers continues this and every Sunday at 5:30 PM in the choir stalls at St. Vincent Ferrer. The 2019-2020 Music List, Music as Holy Preaching, is available in the narthex and online. This booklet contains a list of this season’s concerts and repertoire for all choral services as well as information about the St. Cecilia Guild, our Friends of Music program that financially supports music in the Parish. 11 THE PARISH OF ST.

  • Xvii. Tempo En Fermates Bij De Uitvoering Van Koralen in Bachs Cantates En Passies
    XVII. TEMPO EN FERMATES BIJ DE UITVOERING VAN KORALEN IN BACHS CANTATES EN PASSIES In dit hoofdstuk staan het tempo van de koralen en de wijze waarop de fermates werden uitgevoerd centraal. Zoals bekend zijn koralen door de gemeente gezongen gezangen tijdens erediensten. In Bachs tijd stonden de tekst en soms ook de melodie hiervan in de gebruikte gezangboeken. De gezangen waren over het algemeen bij de gemeente bekend. Onder kora- len zullen tevens verstaan worden de – meestal vierstemmig homofoon gezette – gezangen, zoals die in Bachs cantates en passies veel voorkomen: zij hadden immers dezelfde tekst en melodie als de gemeentegezangen. Ook wanneer instrumenten een zelfstandige rol hadden, in de vorm van tussenspelen (bijvoorbeeld in het slotkoraal ‘Jesus bleibet meine Freude‘ BWV 147/10) of extra partijen (‘Weil du vom Tod erstanden bist' BWV 95/7), worden ze hier gerekend tot Bachs koralen. Deze studie richt zich niet primair op koraalmelodieën die – meestal éénstemmig – als cantus firmus gezongen of gespeeld worden tijdens een aria of reci- tatief, maar het ligt voor de hand dat de beschreven conclusies hierbij ook van toepassing zijn. In de eerste paragraaf wordt gekeken naar de ontwikkeling van de gemeentezang in Duits- land, en hoe die op orgel begeleid werd. Vervolgens wordt onderzocht hoe er in traktaten over het tempo van de gemeentezang werd gesproken. Daarna worden de resultaten geëx- trapoleerd naar de hoofdkerken in Leipzig onder Johann Sebastian Bach. Het moge zo zijn dat de koralen als gemeentezang langzaam werden uitgevoerd, maar gold dat ook voor de koralen in Bachs cantates? In deze paragraaf wordt getracht een antwoord te vinden op deze vraag.

  • The Lost Chord Part
    THE LOST CHORD HARMONISATION ON KEYBOARD INSTRUMENTS III STEPHEN TAYLOR The Lost Chord Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, And my fingers wander’d idly Over the noisy keys. I know not what I was playing, Or what I was dreaming then, But I struck one chord of music, Like the sound of a great Amen. It flooded the crimson twilight, Like the close of an angel’s psalm, And it lay on my fever’d spirit With a touch of infinite calm. It quieted pain and sorrow, Like love overcoming strife, It seem’d the harmonious echo From our discordant life. It link’d all perplexed meanings Into one perfect peace, And trembled away into silence, As if it were loth to cease. I have sought, but I seek it vainly, That one lost chord divine, Which came from the soul of the organ, And enter’d into mine. It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in heav’n I shall hear that grand Amen.

  • About the Christmas Eve Music
    About the Christmas Eve Music – 5:30 Service By Caitlin & Trystan Bennett Hodie Christus Natus Est This Gregorian chant is the antiphon for the Magnificat, when sung at the close of Vespers on Christmas Day. The text translates to: ‘Today Christ is born, today the Savior has appeared, today on earth sing the Angels, the Archangels rejoice: today the just exult, singing “Glory to God in the highest, alleluia.’ On This Day Earth Shall Ring ‘Personent Hodie’ is a Christmas carol originally published in the 1582 Finnish song book ‘Piae Cantiones’, a volume of 74 Medieval songs with Latin texts collected by Jaakko Suomalainen, a Swedish Lutheran cleric. A similar melody was published in 1360 in Moosburg, Germany, and it is from this manuscript that the tune is usually dated. The English translation was done by Jane A. Joseph, a pupil and later associate of Gustav Holst, who assisted him in transcriptions, arrangements and translations. Holst arranged this carol for unison voices and orchestra in 1916 and its organ reduction is often used as a processional hymn, as found in the 1982 Hymnal. Chorale Prelude on ‘Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her’ This choral prelude to Martin Luther’s Christmas carol ‘Vom Himmel hoch’, was composed by Johann Pachelbel, who is primarily known today for his ‘Cannon in D.’ Originally published in Erster Theil etlicher Choräle, a collection of liturgical organ music. Johann Christoph Bach (1671–1721), Johann Sebastian's eldest brother and one of Pachelbel's most important pupils, may have assisted with the publication of the first edition of this work, for the engraving closely resembles his handwriting.

    A Pedal Study of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Orgelbüchlein A document proposal submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Division of the College-Conservatory of Music April, 2013 by Yoonnah L. Lee BM, Ewha Womans University, Korea, 2002 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2005 Committee Chair: Roberta Gary, DMA ABSTRACT This study explores diverse figures in the pedal passages in Johann Sebastian Bach’s Orgelbüchlein in order to improve pedal technique by a more effective practice style. The Orgelbüchlein has been thought to include easy pieces that are usually played by beginning students. One of the reasons for this belief is that the pieces are short. In fact, however, none of the chorale settings in the Orgelbüchlein are easy to play. Their various levels of difficulty and styles prove Bach’s pedagogical purpose. I will take full advantage of the obbligato pedal writing in the Orgelbüchlein to develop a pedal technique for music composed before 1750. This study provides pedal exercises according to level of difficulty with directions for practicing included. These pedal exercises based on the Orgelbüchlein will challenge organ students in the great variety they include. ii Copyright © 2013 by Yoonnah L. Lee.
