Martin Foster. In the words we pray and proclaim and in the texts we sing we respond to Jesus’ question in many different ways. In this workshop there will be a chance to explore, reflect and sing the images of Jesus we encounter in the liturgy and the songs we sing. Martin Foster is Director of the Liturgy Office of the Catholic ’ Conference of England and Wales, a composer and writer. WORSHIP WITHOUT END, AMEN Richard & Wendy Hubbard. ‘Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.’ We finish our services with elegant endings, and tidy them away again until next Sunday, but Jesus calls us to 24/7 worship. The Mass is ended, but true worship is without end. How to connect worship to daily life with creative musical, liturgical and other resources that inspire us to take church with us when we leave. Richard and Wendy Hubbard are a husband and wife team. Richard is a professional musician and teacher, conducts the Cantus Firmus Choir, and lectures at the London School of Theology. LET US NOT ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE ROBBED OF THE GOSPEL! Philip Jakob. This is a quotation from Pope Francis’ great letter Evangelii Gaudium (§97). Drawing on statements by Jon Sobrino and Kathryn Hughes Philip Jakob will challenge musicians, in particular, to express the call to action for justice in the songs they choose. He will also suggest that we might wish to consider washing our feet more than once a year! Philip Jakob is Director of Music for the & Diocese of Hallam and a Member of the Iona Community. SEARCHING FOR SONGS IN THE KEY OF JUSTICE. Andrew Maries. Act justly, do mercy, walk humbly with your God. Where are the songs and hymns across the styles that echo the words of Micah 6:8? Andrew Maries works for the Key- note Trust, offering help in music and worship matters across denominations and worship styles. ‘HARDENING OUR HEARTS’ Gary O'Neill. A liturgical and biblical exploration of Micah 6.1-8. We will spend some time in Bible study and explore the way different Churches use (or don’t use) the Micah passage in worship. Gary teaches liturgy, worship and theological reflection at All Centre for Mission & Ministry. SAVING YOUR VOICE Bill Tamblyn. This workshop explores the wealth of music we can use BEFORE we go out to sing in church - brilliant warm-ups, exhilarating canons, vocal exercises and a snatch or two of the liturgical music from Bill’s World Music collection that you might be able to use in worship. Professor Bill Tamblyn ‘retired’ from Colchester Institute after 30 years, but is still ‘professing’ music on the WEA lecture circuit He is director of Quire, the Colchester World Music Choir, and their associated chamber groups Octavia and Towering Angels. GLORY IN THE HIGHEST Stephen Dean. The Gloria in excelsis has a long and distinguished history. But it is a difficult text to set for singing in English by congregations. This workshop traces the history of the Gloria and its music and surveys some of the possible ways of setting it today. Stephen Dean is a a musician in Suffolk, publisher and composer.
