The English Lyrics of the Henry VIII Manuscript
The English Lyrics of the Henry VIII Manuscript by RAYMOND G. SIEMENS B. A. (Hons), The University of Waterloo, 1989 M.A., The University of Alberta, 1991 A THESIS SUBMITTED LN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES, Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 20, 1997 ©R.G. Siemens, 1997 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or 'by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. /7 v. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date DE-6 (2788) Abstract The Henry VIII MS (BL Additional MS 31,922)—a song book with lyrics by Henry VIII, Thomas Wyatt, William Cornish, and other literary figures of the early Henrician court—is a document that contributes greatly to a critical understanding of the connections between poetry, patronage, and power in early Renaissance society because of the prominence of its chief author, the King himself, and the manuscript's reflection of literary, social, and political elements of the early Tudor court. Acknowledging that the contents of the Henry VIII MS have been thoroughly treated as "words for music" by the musicologist John Stevens, whose Music and Poetry in the Early Tudor Court and Music at the Court of Henry VIII are the standard works in the area, my thesis builds on existing scholarship to treat the lyrics of H chiefly as "words," as literary texts. -
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. -

SERVICES & MUSIC September 2020
S ERVICES & M USIC September 2020 From the Canon Precentor The last Music List was printed at the start of March and when we compiled it we could never have guessed that the Cathedral would be silent for the remainder of Lent, Holy Week, Easter and the entire summer term. Thanks to the expertise of Cathedral staff – notably Tim Popple and Glynn Usher – we have risen to the monumental challenge of live-streaming services every day during lock down. Finally, a few weeks ago, we were permitted to offer worship which was open to the public. A few weeks after that we were allowed a cantor and organist, then last week the regulations changed again, allowing us to have a small adult choir – a wonderful moment! As you will gather, the way forward as we re-introduce choral music is painfully slow and the logistics of arranging rehearsals for our choristers are complicated. I am indebted to my colleagues Mark Lee and Sarah Jenkinson, who are making this happen. For the time being the choristers will concentrate on rehearsing and making up for lost time; choral services on Friday and Sunday will be sung by the Back Row. The number of people allowed into the Cathedral at any one time is strictly limited, so many of our large autumn services will be live-streamed or virtual. A particularly impressive virtual service was the one we broadcast on VE Day in May. Since then there have been others and we plan to continue with virtual services and live-streaming for the time being. -
