CAROLS AROUND THE YEAR: For generations, the singing of popular Carols during December has enhanced worship services and musical events. This comparatively recent phenomenon was certainly given much impetus by the production of the first popular carol book in 1871 – Christmas Carols New and Old – under the redoubtable editorship of Henry Ramsden Bramley and Sir John Stainer. This tome was followed by many successors in the field, influentially in 1901/1902 by the Cowley Carol Book of G R Woodward and Charles Wood and, perhaps principally, by The Oxford Book of Carols of 1928 issued under the aegis of Percy Dearmer, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Yorkshire-born Martin Shaw. Carols for Choirs volumes that have emerged since 1961 have contributed still further to our heritage. And yet, many of what are sung as Carols at this time of the year are rather more in the nature of Christmas Hymns – such as the 18th century Catholic processional Adeste, fideles and the version of Charles Wesley's Hark how all the welkin rings now known universally as Hark! the herald angels sing as well as Mrs Alexander’s Once in royal David’s city. Historically, as well as internationally, many carols emerged from traditional dances; by no means all were garbed in sacred language. Just as the secular is never very far removed from the sacred, so are seasons other than the celebration of the Nativity well to the fore in historic terms. Significantly, many carols are sung today in truncated versions of what were originally much more extensive in terms of the number of stanzas and verses utilised. Some Carols began with the Annunciation by Gabriel and extended through Candlemas and Ash Wednesday to Good Friday, Easter and Ascension - Tomorrow shall be my dancing day is a typical such instance, along with the Cherry Tree Carol and Twas on Christmas Day, and all in the morning. Here at Leeds Minster we may claim an important development over half a century ago when one of our Clergy Staff devised with the legendary Dr Donald Hunt what was described as a ‘Summer Carol Service’; the most significant product of this endeavour is still with us in Dr Donald Webster’s original, and gloriously effective, setting of Hilariter – ‘The whole bright world rejoices now’ – a setting written specifically for that prototype event. Speaking for myself, involvement with two of John Rutter’s original carols – Jesus Child and Donkey Carol – composed whilst I was serving at St Albans has been a particular and ongoing pleasure. Since the days of Canon Foley, Vicar of Leeds, 1971-1982, there have been, increasingly, carol services used here at times other than Christmas. Today our normal tally is five – the Festival of Nine Lessons of course, pre-eminent still, but now partnered by traditional liturgies for use during Advent, Epiphany and Easter recounting the principal elements of each of these seasonal observances. The Eastertide order was devised by the Reverend Richard Tatlock of the BBC and is very widely used. Our Advent and Epiphanytide Services owe much to the Reverend Stephen Jones, once Precentor here, while a precursor of his, the Reverend Frank Baker, is believed to have been the originator of the Summer Carol Service. Probably everyone has his or her particular favourites, textually as well as musically. I remember well as a small boy a particularly colourful verse in God rest you merry, gentlemen that mentioned the devil: Fear not, then, said the Angel, let nothing you affright, To us is born a Saviour of virtue, power and might, So frequently to vanquish all the friends of Satan quite…… It was always a source of interest to me who the ‘friends of Satan’ might have been…. Many of our carol texts are of Victorian and Edwardian origin, especially evocative being those of the Reverend Dr G R Woodward, consummate musician as well as worthy wordsmith; he left us Ding, dong! merrily on high and This joyful Eastertide among many others. His life, tinged with personal tragedy by the early death of his wife, was mostly devoted to hymnody and sacred music generally and the Archbishop of Canterbury awarded him a doctorate in music. All will have their own personal favourite carol. High up my own list come two short Carols by Benjamin Britten – Corpus Christi Carol and New Year Carol – along with almost anything by Peter Warlock and John Rutter. Many carol arrangements are of historical longevity – Vincent Novello’s quasi- operatic Adeste, fideles and, particularly, Pearsall’s unaccompanied version of In dulci iubilo. Of more contemporary date is the arresting setting by Holst of Personent hodie and, especially, Haldane Campbell Stewart’s On this day earth shall ring (interestingly, an English version of the same text). H C Stewart was a noted Kent County Cricketer as well as a leading musician and Organist of Magdalen College, Oxford. ] Today and this month we’ll be hearing once again the traditional staples of Epiphanytide – O’er the hill and o’er the vale, Kings of Orient, Cornelius’s The Three Kings, and Martin Shaw’s exquisitely simple Kings in Glory to the words of Selwyn Image; each of these feature in our service this Sunday evening along with many of your favourite Epiphany hymns.

  • 'Let Us Talk' – Response from Wimborne Minster the Responses
    ‘Let us Talk’ – Response from Wimborne Minster The responses to the questions below are based on work done in March this year with the Minster PCC. We spent the day together to reflect, discuss, worship and pray as we seek to discern God’s way forward for the Minster in the coming 3‐5 years. For a fuller sense of what is already going on at the Minster; of current projects; and a vision for the future, please see the accompanying ‘Rector’s Report’, delivered at our recent APCM on April 18th 2013. 1. What is the ‘Personality and Character’ of your local church? The Minster combines the desire to be a ‘normal’ parish church with a distinctive and historic ministry to the wider civic communities of Wimborne and East Dorset. As such, it can sometimes appear slightly schizophrenic! At its best, it is prayerful, caring, hospitable, generous and inclusive, benefiting from the gifts of able lay people, professional musicians, an iconic building and the affection of the local community. It has a certain ‘respectability’ which is inviting to many and can be off‐putting to others, but on the whole it succeeds in enabling those who come through its doors – whether pilgrim or visitor – to sense something of the hospitality of God. It enjoys high standards in worship and seeks excellence, but not at the expense of warmth. The downside of these many outward strengths is that its ‘internal’ relationships can sometimes suffer, and people within the congregation can, from time to time, be argumentative and critical in an unconstructive way.

  • York Minster's Chapter House and Its Painted Glass Narratives
    York Minster’s Chapter House and its Painted Glass Narratives Volume 1 of 3 Ann Hilary Moxon PhD University of York History of Art December 2017 Abstract This thesis focuses on the late thirteenth-century narrative glazing scheme of the chapter house in York Minster and the political and religious context of its design. Created as an intrinsic and integrated part of one of the most elaborate and important buildings in the period, the glass has suffered interventions affecting both its appearance and the positions of its narrative panels. By examining the glass in the context of contemporary visual and textual material, it has been possible to reconstruct the original order of the panels and to identify the selection of episodes the lives of the saints, some for the first time. The study has demonstrated the extent to which the iconography was rooted in liturgy and theology relevant to the period which, in turn, reflected the priorities of a dominant group among the active members of Chapter for whose use the building was constructed and, by extension, the contemporary Church. Further, the glass shows strong Mariological themes which reflected features in the rest of the decorative scheme and the architecture of the chapter house, indicating that the glazing scheme may have been conceived as part of the architectural whole. The conclusions are supported by parallel research into the prosopography of the contemporary Chapter which additionally suggests that the conception of the programme may have had its roots in the baronial wars of the

There are regular concerts including the Beverley Early Music Festival in May and a series of organ recitals in the spring/summer. The Minster also hosts visiting choirs out of choir term. The Minster Organ The Minster organ is an exciting fusion of 18th century Sneztler pipework, 19th century Hill, early 20th century Norman and Beard and late 20th century Wood of Huddersfield. Wood’s undertook a rebuild and refurbishment in the late 1990’s that included tonal adjustments and a new console. A full specification of the organ can be found by following the link below: http://beverleyminster.org.uk/worship/music/the-organ The Girls’ choir The Minster started its Girls’ choir in September 2009 and currently has 15 members.

  • Bede, Acca and the Latin Poem De Die Iudicii*
    Bede, Iconoclasm and the Temple of Solomon* Abstract: In Bede's lifetime (c. 673–735) the churches at Wearmouth-Jarrow were richly decorated with panel paintings from Rome. This essay examines the significance that those paintings held for Bede and his community, and it reveals the strategies that Bede employed to defend them in his commentary on the Temple of Solomon (De templo), which was written after images had become a contentious issue in Byzantium during the reign of Emperor Leo III (714–741). This has important implications for our understanding of Bede's place in the intellectual landscape of early-eighth-century Europe and it shows the ambitious nature and topical relevance of his mature exegetical programme. I. The Wearmouth-Jarrow artistic scheme At the age of seven, Bede was entrusted by his kinsmen to the monastery of St Peter and St Paul at Wearmouth and Jarrow and he remained there until his death in May 735.1 Bede was ordained priest aged 30 in c. 703, but did not advance any further in the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Unburdened by the extra responsibilities that would have come * This is the pre-peer reviewed version of the following article: P. N. Darby, 'Bede, Iconoclasm and the Temple of Solomon', Early Medieval Europe, 21 (2013), 390-421, which has been published in final form at: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/emed.12024/abstract.

  • Winchester Cathedral Timeline (PDF)
    Cathedral Timeline 636 King Cenwalh builds first Christian church in Winchester. It is a small, cross-shaped building, and soon becomes a cathedral, housing the throne (cathedra) of the bishop who looks after a huge area of churches from the English Channel to the River Thames. Some of the earliest Anglo Saxon Kings are buried in the cathedral (we now call this the Old Minster) over the next few centuries, including Alfred the Great and later Canute (Cnut). 860 Winchester city and the cathedral church are attacked by Vikings, but survive. 863 Bishop Swithun, the patron saint of the cathedral, dies and is buried in front of the West Door of the Old Minster. 879 Vikings attack the city and the church and monastery for a second time. Again, the cathedral and monastery survive. 901 New Minster, the second cathedral church on site (started by King Alfred, finished by his son Edward) is completed. It stands next to the Old Minster, which is still in use. 971 The bones of St Swithun, a former bishop, are dug up from the Old Minster forecourt and are moved into a splendid new shrine inside the building, Pilgrims travel many miles to visit his shrine, and the walls are hung with the crutches of people he has miraculously healed. 1000 By now, the Old Minster is a multi-purpose building – a cathedral, a monastery (with monks who run the church, pray and worship here), a healing place of pilgrimage and the final resting place of Saxon Kings. 1066/1070 William the Conqueror invades England, and starts putting his own Norman bishops into the Anglo Saxon churches.
