Amen. Sit Old Testament Reading Isaiah 5:1-7 [1] Let me sing for my beloved my love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. [2] He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes. [3] And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. [4] What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes? [5] And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. [6] I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; 4 I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. [7] For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, an outcry! A This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Gradual Ps. 91:11; 103:1 He will command his angels con- | cerning you* to guard you in | all your ways. Bless the Lord, | O my soul,* and all that is within me, bless his | holy name Epistle Philippians 3:4b–14 [4] …If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: [5] circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; [6] as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. [7] But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. [8] Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ [9] and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—[10] that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, [11] that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. [12] Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. [13] Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, [14] I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. A This is the Word of the Lord. C Thanks be to God. Stand Alleluia and Verse C Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Holy Gospel Matthew 21:33–46 5 P The Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew, the twenty first chapter. C Glory be to Thee, O Lord. [33] “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country.

Thank you both for not giving up on me even when things were moving very slow. I am especially thankful for your support in my work in the combination of popular music/performance studies. A big thank you goes to Siren Leirvåg for guidance in the literature of theatre studies. Everybody at the Institute of Music at UiO for helping me when I came back after my student hiatus in 2007. I cannot over-exaggerate my gratitude towards Rob Lee, webmaster at www.thewho.com for helping me with finding important information on that site and his attempts at getting me an interview with one of the boys. The work being done on that site is fantastic. Also, a big thank you to my fellow Who fans. Discussing Who with you makes liking the band more fun.

  • QUINCY SYMPHONY CHORUS PROGRAM NOTES British Invasion ~ March 9, 2019 Dr
    QUINCY SYMPHONY CHORUS PROGRAM NOTES British Invasion ~ March 9, 2019 Dr. Carol Mathieson Andrew Lloyd Webber relaunched musical theatre in the 1960’s in ways that welcomed electronic technology and rock music without allowing ephemeral fads to highjack well-crafted composition. And audiences responded, with younger aficionados swelling the general flock to the theatres. Tonight’s medley follows chronologically from earliest efforts with Tim Rice to turn Jesus Christ, Superstar— a scripture story recast in rock, produced as a concept album with basic plot, all the songs, and minimal dialog—into a stage show, opening in London’s West End. It was a mega-hit. Soon after came Evita about the Perón dictatorship in Argentina. Rice did not feel comfortable remolding established writing into lyrics, so for Cats, Lloyd Webber went directly to T.S. Eliot’s poetry. Song and Dance is a short musical play with lyrics by Don Black, paired with a short ballet with music Lloyd Webber wrote for his cellist brother Julien as variations on a Paganini caprice. However, Phantom of the Opera, with Charles Hart lyrics, was back to high drama. Phantom smashed attendance records in both London and New York, running for decades. Tonight’s medley opens and closes with songs from that iconic show. Nineteenth-century English musical theatre consisted of cheerful song and dance revues or badly translated, risqué French burlesques until Gilbert and Sullivan brought satirical, silly Savoy Operas to a family-friendly stage. QSC sings highlights from the first and the final masterpieces of these saviors of both the English and American musical stage.

  • Assignment: Final Projects
    Upward Bound STEM July 25, 2013 Assignment: Final Projects The culmination of this Music+STEM course is the creation of new songs by groups of students. Here are our expectations for this assignment: You may work individually or in groups of 2 to 5. The larger the size of the group, the better the finished product is expected to be. Your song should cover some aspect of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Please cover specific STEM content, as opposed to making vague, general statements that require no understanding (like “Math is really fun” or “Cells are so important”). In particular, we challenge you to go beyond textbook facts to include some tidbits about the history of a problem, how experiments are currently done and/or what kinds of data have been collected. (For example, we consider “Myofibrils” [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC_CUfLP6Pc] a facts-only song, whereas “Necessary But Not Sufficient” [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HX34kHHDow] offers a taste of the data underlying the conclusions.) Your song can be in any musical genre (blues, rock, rap, country, gospel, reggae, etc.). Your song can be completely original, or it can be a parody of an existing song. However, it should be created by YOU. Do NOT hand in a song that you found on the Internet! This assignment is due on the final day of class (Thursday, August 1st). You will do a short presentation/performance of your song at that time. In addition, you should hand in the following: Lyrics sheet for your song Musical score (if original music) for your song “Artists’ Statement” explaining your song.

  • English Music Elton John Part 2
    English Music Elton John Part 2 In 1967, John answered an ad for a songwriter for Liberty Records. He got the job and soon teamed up with lyricist Bernie Taupin. The duo switched to the DJM label the following year, writing songs for other artists. John got his first break as a singer with his 1969 album Empty Sky, featuring songs by John and Taupin. While that recording failed to catch on, his 1970 self-titled effort featured John’s first hit “Your Song.” More hits soon followed, including such number- one smashes as “Crocodile Rock,” “Bennie and the Jets” and “Island Girl.” John enjoyed a series of top-selling albums during this time, including Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973) and Rock of the Westies (1975). As one of the top acts of the 1970s, Elton John became equally famous for his live shows. He dressed in fabulous, over-the-top costumes and glasses for his elaborate concerts. In an interview with W, John explained that “I wasn’t a sex symbol like Bowie, Marc Bolan or Freddie Mercury, so I dressed more on the humorous side, because if I was going to be stuck at the piano for two hours, I was going to make people look at me.” Elton John – Your Song It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside I’m not one of those who can easily hide I don’t have much money but boy if I did I’d buy a big house where we both could live If I was a sculptor, but then again, no Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do My gift is my song and this one’s for you And you can tell everybody this is your

  • 01.24.21 Third Sunday After the Epiphany 8X11
    EPIPHANY 3 January 24, 2021 As we continue through the time after Epiphany, stories of the call to discipleship show us the implications of our baptismal calling to show Christ to the world. Jesus begins proclaiming the good news and calling people to repentance right after John the Baptist is arrested for preaching in a similar way. Knowing that John was later executed, we see at the very outset the cost of discipleship. Still, the two sets of brothers leave everything they have known and worked for all their lives to follow Jesus and fish for people. OPENING SONG “My Faith Looks Up To Thee” INVOCATION P In the name of the Father, and the Son T and the Holy Spirit. C Amen. CONFESSION OF SINS P As we approach the mystery of God, let us come in confession, trusting the love of Christ crucified and risen. Silence is kept for reflection. P God who searches us and knows us, C you have shown us what is good, but we have looked to other lights to find our way. We have not been just in our dealings with others. We have chosen revenge over mercy. We have promoted ourselves instead of walking humbly with you. With what shall we come before you? Forgive us our sin, and show us your salvation in the face of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen. 1 KYRIE Lord, Lord have mercy Let Your light shine upon us Christ, Christ have mercy Let Your love be in this place Hear us as we sing, Let Your joy and peace fill our hearts Accept the gifts we bring That we would know Lord, Lord have Mercy Unending Grace ABSOLUTION P Beloved of God, you have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, poured out for you in the faithfulness of Jesus Christ.
