Officiant: O God, make speed to save us. Choir: O Lord, make haste to help us. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. Officiant: Praise ye the Lord. Choir: The Lord’s Name be praised. The People are seated. Psalm 148 Chant by Thomas Attwood Walmisley (1814-1856) 1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; * praise him in the heights. 2 Praise him, all you angels of his; * praise him, all his host. 3 Praise him, sun and moon; * praise him, all you shining stars. 4 Praise him, heaven of heavens, * and you waters above the heavens. 5 Let them praise the Name of the LORD; * for he commanded, and they were created. 6 He made them stand fast for ever and ever; * he gave them a law which shall not pass away. -2- 7 Praise the LORD from the earth, * you sea-monsters and all deeps; 8 Fire and hail, snow and fog, * tempestuous wind, doing his will; 9 Mountains and all hills, * fruit trees and all cedars; 10 Wild beasts and all cattle, * creeping things and wingèd birds; 11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, * princes and all rulers of the world; 12 Young men and maidens, * old and young together. 13 Let them praise the Name of the LORD, * for his Name only is exalted, his splendor is over earth and heaven. 14 He has raised up strength for his people and praise for all his loyal servants, * the children of Israel, a people who are near him. Hallelujah! Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. The First Lesson Exodus 24:12-18 The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and wait there; and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction.” So Moses set out with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God. To the elders he had said, “Wait here for us, until we come to you again; for Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a dispute may go to them.” Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain. The glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the cloud. Now the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel. Moses entered the cloud, and went up on the mountain. Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights. Reader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. The People stand. Magnificat for St. Paul’s Cathedral Herbert Howells (1892-1983) My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath -3- holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. The People are seated. The Second Lesson Matthew 17:1-9 Six days after Peter had acknowledged Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the Living God, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.” And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” Reader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. The People stand. Nunc dimittis in F Harold Friedell (1905-1958) Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word; For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people. To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. The People remain standing and say in unison: The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Preces and Responses Craig Phillips Officiant: The Lord be with you. Choir: And with thy spirit. Officiant: Let us pray. The People kneel. Choir: Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us. The Lord’s Prayer -4- The Suffrages Officiant: O Lord, show thy mercy upon us.

EMERGING FROM THE UNDERGROUND OF ‘OFFICIAL ATHEISM’ OF THE SOVIET ERA Arvo Pärt was a representative of the underground music in the former Soviet Union. His music, like the works of many other musicians and art- ists, did not fit within the narrow bosom of Socialist Realism – the prevail- ing ideology of the time.1 He had to struggle in order to write the music he wanted. Nowadays there is no Soviet Empire anymore, and the composi- tions of Pärt represent “the face” of contemporary music. He is one of the few composers whose art music enjoys success similar to that of pop. He is widely known, and his works are being performed all over the world. Arvo Pärt was born in 1935 in Paide, near Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, one of the Western republics within the former USSR. Between the First and the Second World War this little country enjoyed a short period of in- dependence. Life for Pärt till 1980 was inseparably connected with his Motherland Estonia on one hand, and with Russia, which was the political and cultural dominant at that time, on the other hand. Pärt knew and loved national traditions, as well as he knew European and Russian culture: he called the composer Glazunov who taught his teacher Heino Eller ‘my musi- * Tatiana Soloviova studied at Moscow State University and obtained her PhD in His- tory.

  • Choral Vespers
    GONVILLE & CAIUS COLLEGE CHAPEL Easter Term 2021 CHORAL VESPERS Vespers is the sixth of the seven prayer services of the Christian day. Its name comes from the Latin vespera, which means ‘evening.’ When Thomas Cranmer created the English Prayer Book in 1549 and 1552 he combined Vespers with the night service (compline) into the service we know as Evensong. Magnificat is the Gospel Canticle of Vespers, as Nunc Dimittis is the Gospel Canticle of Compline. The service ends with a traditional antiphon (a special seasonal text, from which comes our modern word ‘anthem’) in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 2nd May Fourth Sunday of Easter LUCERNARIUM (The Lighting of the Lamps) Thy word is a lantern unto my feet and a light unto my paths. Thou also shalt light my candle the Lord my God shall make my darkness to be light. The light and peace of Jesus Christ be with you and with thy spirit Light Prayer Blessed art thou, Sovereign Lord, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to thee be glory and praise for ever. Thou hast called us out of darkness into thy marvellous light that our lives may reflect thy glory and our lips repeat thy song: Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit HYMN LUCIS Creator optime O BLEST Creator of the light, lucem dierum proferens, Who mak'st the day with radiance bright, primordiis lucis novae, and o'er the forming world didst call mundi parans originem: the light from chaos first of all; Qui mane iunctum vesperi Whose wisdom joined in meet array diem vocari praecipis: the morn and eve, and named them Day: taetrum chaos illabitur, night comes with all its darkling fears; audi preces cum fletibus.

  • Arvo Pärt Triodion Polyphony · Stephen Layton
    ARVO PÄRT TRIODION POLYPHONY · STEPHEN LAYTON TRIODION ARVO PÄRT POLYPHONYPOLYPHONY STEPHENSTEPHEN LAYTONLAYTON 30 OLYPHONY’s first Hyperion recording of Arvo Pärt’s choral music (CDA66960) focused on music written Pbetween 1988 and 1991, a particularly fertile period for the composer which coincided with a surge of international performances and recordings, and resulting acclaim. Works on that disc, and others such as the large-scale setting of Psalm 51, Miserere, suggested that Pärt was moving into more complex, exotic harmonic territory. With clusters, compound chords and use of the augmented second interval, he seemed to be stretching the crucial, characteristic boundary in his music between dissonance and consonance. Judging by the more recent music on this disc—all written between 1996 and 2002—that harmonic journey was, for Pärt, something from which he has now returned. The essential purity of the triad remains paramount, and chord progressions in works such as Triodion and Salve Regina seem more diatonically conventional. And although there is less evidence in these pieces of strict ARVO PÄRT © Tina Foster ‘tintinnabulation’—the rigidly maintained discourse during the recording sessions at Temple Church, London between stepwise and triadic part-writing—there is enough austerity of structure and harmony in other ways extended periods at his second home near Colchester in to make it unmistakably ‘Pärtian’. Essex—resulting in a noticeably greater fluency with Polyphony’s first Hyperion disc featured Pärt’s first English. But this, he insists, is not the reason for a greater setting in English (a section from Saint Matthew’s account number of English settings.

The same is true of the contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt (b. 1935), though his earlier compositional style has been almost entirely overshadowed by the tremendous popularity of his second period. Pärt began his career writing works that adopted neo-classicism, serialism and polystylism, but between 1968 and 1976 suffered a kind of writer’s block.

Together with T my two earlier CDs of Pärt’s music on harmonia mundi, they provide a comprehensive survey of his choral music both a cappella and with organ accompaniment. While some of the newer pieces demonstrate a more colourful and nuanced approach to the setting of texts to music, the influence of early music on his style is a constant presence and returns with renewed strength in these recent works. This influence operates at three levels and the most significant of them concerns what may be described as Pärt’s rhetorical position as reflected in the way in which he uses a text for music.

  • Choral Evensong the First Sunday in Lent
    Saint Mark’s episcopal cathedral Choral Evensong the first sunday in lent March 1, 2020 4:30 pm C horal Evensong in this cathedral is a tiny fragment of some- thing else: it is part of the worship which is offered to God by Christian people every hour of the day and night, in every part of the world. When you come to Evensong here, it is as if you were dropping in on a conversation already in progress—a conversation between God and his people which began long before you were born and which will continue long after your death. So, do not be surprised or disturbed if there are some things which you do not understand straight away. For a brief moment, you step into the continual stream of worship which is being offered today and which will be offered to the end of time. You are one with those who worship here on earth and in heaven. —adapted from the Evensong bulletin of Saint Paul’s Cathedral, London. Welcome to this celebration of Choral Evensong. Please be aware that incense will be used. Out of respect for the liturgy we are about to celebrate, please turn off all cell phones and audible devices. Please, no photography during the liturgy. A basket is available to make a goodwill offering as you leave; your generosity supports the mission and ministries of this Cathedral. You may also make a donation using the Venmo mobile app (@SaintMarksCathedralSeattle, or scan the code at right). At this service, the choir and assembly are seated in a configuration reminiscent of the chancel of a medieval English cathedral, with the two halves of the choir facing each other across the center aisle.
