    Concordia News – Large Print August 2013 A newsletter for members, families, Volume 8 and friends of Number 8 Concordia Lutheran Church and Concordia Cemetery Association ISSN 2152-3339 Contents Page Words from Pastor Bruce ………………. 2 Announcements …………………………….. 7 Obituary: Gordon Swanson ……………. 9 With Our Thanks …….……………………… 11 Recipe of the Month ………………………. 13 Bits and Pieces ………………………………. 14 Dates to Remember …..………….………. 18 Acknowledgements ……………………….. 19 From Pastor Bruce Dear Members and Friends of Concordia Lutheran: Here is the final portion of the excellent summary about Pentecost from the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. It is evident that the phrase “out of sight is out of mind” applies to the longest season of the church year, but then Martin Luther did refer that the Holy Spirit, which is the centerpiece of the season of Pentecost, is the “bashful member of the Trinity”, nonetheless, as the Holy Spirit is the ongoing presence of God in the world, it is important that we do not forget about the Spirit. We are not in this life alone; God is with us: The Lutheran church of the Baroque observed three days of Pentecost. Some composers wrote sacred cantatas to be performed in the church services of these days. Johann Sebastian Bach composed several cantatas for days of Pentecost, including Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten ! BWV 172 in 1714 and Also hat Gott die Welt geliebt , BWV 68 in 1725. Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel 2 From Pastor Bruce wrote cantatas such as Werdet voll Geistes (Get full of spirit) in 1737. Mozart composed an antiphon Veni Sancte Spiritus in 1768. Olivier Messiaen composed an organ mass Messe de la Pentecôte in 1949/50.

  • Rhodes Bleachworks Brass Band
    Rhodes Bleachworks Brass Band Gavin Holman – June 2019 This band was probably formed in the mid-1890s. The first known mention is its appearance at a contest at Middleton in April 1897. It was strongly linked to the Bleach and Dye Works at Rhodes, near Middleton. The band’s conductor for most of its life was John H. White. It was disbanded on 9th December 1909. The Bleach Works was Obadiah Ashworth and Co. (bleachers, dyers, finishers, embossers, &c.), Rhodes Bleach and Dye Works, Middleton. It was one of several similar industries in Rhodes and Middleton, part of the larger fabric, weaving, finishing, and garment manufacturing industrial belt in northern Manchester and across to Yorkshire. Obadiah Ashworth founded the company and went into partnership with James W. Jones. Upon the death of Ashworth in 1874, James Jones continued the business as sole owner, but retained the Ashworth name. He was later instrumental in establishing and supporting the Bleachworks Band. In addition to these brief notes, the band’s Treasurer’s Notebook, covering the years 1898 to 1909, is transcribed below. This is followed by a brief sketch of the conductor John White. No known photographs of the band survive, although at least four “formal” photos were taken, as recorded in the Treasurer’s notebook. A typical concert of the band, at St Michael's Flags park, in August 1903, with conductor J.H. White, consisted of: Hymn; March: Silver Trumpets (Viviani); Overture: Poet & Peasant (Suppé); Fantasia: Joan of Arc (Round); Trombone solo: Ora Pro Nobilis (Piccolomini); Selection: Idomeneo (Mozart); Air Varie: Eventide (Rimmer); Chorus: The Heavens are Telling (Haydn).

  • This Month, May, Sunday 10Am Worship at St James Point Lonsdale (June at St George’S Queenscliff)
    THIS MONTH, MAY, SUNDAY 10AM WORSHIP AT ST JAMES POINT LONSDALE (JUNE AT ST GEORGE’S QUEENSCLIFF) Dear people of St George's and St James', A book that I keep coming back to around this “Pentecost” time of year is “The Go-Between God”, first published in 1973 by Bishop John V. Taylor. Some of his words: “...the primary effect of the Pentecost experience was to fuse the individuals of the company into a fellowship which in the same moment was caught up into the life of the risen Lord. In a new awareness of Him and of one another they burst into praise, and the world came running for an explanation. In other words, the gift of the Holy Spirit in the fellowship of the church first enables Christians to “be”. And only as a consequence of that sends them to do and to speak”. I suppose that these days we don't often see people “”running to us for an explanation”” about who we are and what we believe ! But we do need to be alert to welcome and support those (often shy) “searchers” who might , from time to time, ask us tricky questions... or even drift into our church services. • Let us be confident and know that as the Holy Spirit dwells in us we will be given the right words and the right actions appropriate to the occasion. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email if there is anything I can do for you whilst Peter is on leave. Tim Gibson – ph.

  • The Poetry of Brass Bands
    The poetry of brass bands Gavin Holman 28 September 2017 (National Poetry Day) - updated May 2020 Over the years several brass bands have been immortalised in poetry. From those lauding their heroes to the ones which are critical or even insulting. From the earliest days poets have found something in the music of the bands and the people who play in them to inspire their muse. I think it is fair to say that most of the writers would not have made a career out of their works - some are certainly more William McGonagall than William Wordsworth – but nonetheless they are priceless views of the bands and bandsmen. 99 examples of odes to the bands of the past are provided here for your enjoyment.

    Supporting local clubs, societies, services and facilities - Produced and distributed FREE of charge by volunteers Memories of Dobcross Brass: 行ってらっしゃい Past , Present… 2009 The Whit Friday Band contest this year will be remembered as one of the wettest ever. Although the morning was beautiful & sunny for a glorious parade to Uppermill, the rain began shortly before Diggle band started the contest off in great style. The persistent & torrential downpour didn’t stop thousands of people having a great time, though. There were 2009: Generally wet, but in Dobcross we keep smiling. plenty of smiles, whether you were Chief Superintendent Caroline Ball (bottom right) or if you had travelled 9,700 miles from Tokyo especially to play in Dobcross, like Kazuhiro Tsikimura & Koji Horita. They joined Asako Mochizuki (top left, in the middle) who now plays with Fulham Brass Band. 1983 Twenty-six years ago, Dobcross village & the Silver Band were featured in ‘THE BEAT OF BRASS’ - a documentary series presented by Roy Castle. Many readers will remember the filming & original broadcast. Now, thanks to the wonders of the internet, we can see the programme again. If you have the internet, put ‘Dobcross Roy Castle’ into and take a look. John Whitmore, who used to live in The Square (and now lives in Delph), used his technical wizardry to transfer the programme … and future onto YouTube from a mangled old video tape. Whether you are a Brass Band enthusiast or just interested in Dobcross, it makes fascinating viewing. HOG ROAST!!! BRASS ON THE GRASS Free Concert!
