  • The Musical Life and Aims of the Ordinariate of Our Lady Of
    The Musical Life and Aims of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham a paper given by the Reverend Monsignor Andrew Burnham, Assistant to the Ordinary, at the Blessed John Henry Newman Institute of Liturgical Music, Birmingham. When the Holy Father visited Westminster Abbey just two years ago, his pleasure was evident as he encountered not only the splendour of the building but also its orderly musical tradition. It was an occasion in preparation for which considerable ingenuity had been expended – in that rather over-attentive way that Anglicans go about things – and, whereas you and I know that what the Pope would undoubtedly have preferred would have been the opportunity to sit in choir – on however splendid a cushion – and absorb the glory of a weekday choral evensong, what he got was something rather more bespoke. Pontiffs and prelates are never allowed to experience things as they actually are. Nonetheless, I am sure it was not lost on him that, greeted by a Latin motet written by an Irish Protestant composer, Charles Villiers Stanford, and an English anthem written by an English recusant composer, William Byrd, he was encountering a very sophisticated musical tradition. It is a tradition that has inspired not only Irish Protestants to set Latin texts, but also sceptics, devout and not so devout, to set canticles and anthems, and, in the case of Vaughan Williams, to put his innate atheism to one side and compile what remains the best of the English hymnbooks. There is a certain amount of evidence that, when the Holy See began to talk about inviting groups of Anglicans into the full communion of the Catholic Church, some in Rome expected to receive diocesan bishops, with their cathedrals, their cathedral choirs, their parish clergy, their parish churches, and the laity of the parishes.

  • Finzi Bagatelles
    Gerald Finzi (1901-1956): Five Bagatelles for clarinet and piano, Opus 23 (1945) Prelude: Allegro deciso Romance: Andante tranquillo Carol: Andante semplice Forlana: Allegretto grazioso Fughetta: Allegro vivace Better known for his vocal music, Finzi also wrote well for the clarinet: these Five Bagatelles and his later Clarinet Concerto are frequently played. Born to a German/Italian Jewish family in London, the teenage Finzi was taught composition in Harrogate by Ernest Farrar, a pupil of Stanford, and by Edward Bairstow, Master of Music at York Minster. His subsequent friends and colleagues included Vaughan Williams, R.O.Morris, Holst, Bliss, Rubbra and Howard Ferguson; his music is firmly within this English tradition. He was attracted to the beauty of the English countryside and to the poetry of Traherne, Hardy and Christina Rosetti. The Five Bagatelles had a tortuous birth. In the summer of 1941, increasingly confident in his powers as a composer, Finzi completed three character pieces for clarinet and piano before being drafted into the Ministry of War Transport. He used “20-year-old bits and pieces”, which he had been working on since 1938. A fourth was added in January 1942 and the whole group performed at a wartime National Gallery lunchtime concert. Leslie Boosey wanted to publish the pieces separately, but in July 1945 Finzi persuaded him to publish them as a group, together with an additional fast finale. Somewhat to Finzi's chagrin, they became his most popular piece: ‘they are only trifles... not worth much, but got better notices than my decent stuff’. The first movement shows Bach's influence on Finzi and contains a slow central section with characteristically wistful falling minor 7ths.

  • Trying Christ Church for First Time?
    But “Everyone Knows...” Oh Yeah? Trying Christ Church for First Time? Trying an Anglican Church for the first Time? So, you found the map and directions on the website, but then what? Here is a Short Primer to Help you Find Your Way! Parking... • There is a modest parking lot in the alley behind the church... often it’s full by 10am, so most people park on 8th Street and 34th Ave or on the nearby residential streets. Parking is free. • If you’re coming north on Elbow Drive, keep in mind you can turn left on Sifton, but not on 34th. Getting Inside... We have three west-facing entrances on 8th Street. • Door #1 - Don’t bother with the southernmost one by the labyrinth... this is for the office on week days and we lock it to avoid confusion on Sundays. • Door #2 - Better... the next door north (called the “Loggia” or the hallway that runs along the outside of the worship space) This leads to the stairs and elevator which access the nursery and Sunday school rooms, and further along on the main level the washrooms. This entrance also accesses the worship space. • Door #3 - Best... the main entrance into the narthex (funny church word for foyer). There, you will find a greeter to help you find your way... and a place to hang your coat if you wish! Worship Materials • The greeter will offer you a “bulletin”, a little booklet which contains almost everything you need to follow along in the service. • The songs and hymns are in the blue book that you will find in the pew).

  • The Plight of Anglican Church Music in the Western Cape: Three Case Studies
    THE PLIGHT OF ANGLICAN CHURCH MUSIC IN THE WESTERN CAPE: THREE CASE STUDIES Levi Eudo Alexander Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Choral Conducting) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Martin Berger March 2021 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Levi Alexander March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Music ministries still providing Anglican church congregations with traditional Anglican church music find themselves clutching onto a musical tradition in a church plagued by the increasing secularisation of society. This thesis, in three case studies, investigates the musical output and general daily function of three Anglican churches in the Western Cape by interviewing the rector and music director of each parish. Each parish was selected as it presented a varied historical, musical, liturgical and churchmanship culture. The aim of the thesis is to ascertain, primarily, whether traditional music is under threat of falling into disuse in the church and secondly, if traditional music is indeed under threat, the possible measures which could be implemented to preserve the heritage for future generations of Anglican worshippers.

  • Even Choir Girls Get the Blues by Mary Lycan 10/30/97 Triangle Institute for Anglican Studies St
    Even Choir Girls Get the Blues by Mary Lycan 10/30/97 Triangle Institute for Anglican Studies St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, Hillsborough, NC September, 1958. New town, new church--St. James’s Episcopal, New London, Connecticut. The nine o’clock family service. Me in my Mary Janes, age eleven, with my sisters and parents in a pew on the center aisle. As the congregation rose for the first hymn, the St. Cecilia Girls’ Choir, thirty-eight girls ages 10 to 17, processed in pairs, the little ones in front. Their robes and beanies were royal blue. They walked tall, and held their hymnals up as they sang. They were goddesses. Six weeks later I was one of them. Two years later, I had my first organ lesson from the Director of Music, Beatrice Hatton Fisk, on the four-manual Austin. A year after that, at age fourteen, I played and conducted my first full substitute gig at that very service: choir rehearsal, prelude, postlude, hymns, canticles, offertory anthem--the works. I got paid: fifteen dollars! Organ lessons, lots of practice, and a certain amount of talent pulled me along that path. But it was the years of rehearsing and singing with the choir that made a church musician of me-- that put our phrasing into my hymn tempos forever, and engraved the old pointing of the canticles onto my bones. Every one of us could sense of the flow of a well-conducted liturgy. We exchanged sly and scornful glances when strange substitutes fumbled the “Venite” or failed to cadence on a G Major chord for the doxology exactly when the priest received the offertory plates.
