“A Very Strange Love Song” “A Very Strange Love Song” Texts: Psalm 80:1-2, 8-19 and Isaiah 1:1, 10-20 a sermon by Kevin Fleming August 14, 2016 FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - EVANSVILLE, INDIANA During my college years, I spent far too much time at the college radio station. I began with the Sunday afternoon classical program – from 1:00 – 6:00 – with the full knowledge that I was probably talking to myself and playing music for myself. I did have a few groupies at the local nursing home. Eventually, I earned better shifts. My roommate and I were given the morning drive slot. Jim did the music. I did the news – but that included the agricultural report. When Hubert Humphrey died, I was up all night putting together a fifteen minute special report. But then, one Wednesday night, Jim and I did the “Wednesday Night Request Show.” It was exactly what it sounds like. Listeners would call in with “dedications,” requesting a song and adding someone’s name to it. Now, remember, these were my college days – in the 1970s. We were on a college campus – a place traditionally and sacredly fueled by hormones. So, we spent five hours saying things like: “This is going out to Mickey over in Shaw Hall from Steve in Eichenauer, the music of Mr. Bill Withers, because Mickey always makes it a ‘Lovely Day.’” Then we would get a call from Mickey. “This one is for Steve in Eichenauer from Mickey in Shaw Hall, and you’re going to like this Steve, because it’s from Stevie Wonder, and ‘You Are the Sunshine of My Life.’” Steve was a lucky fellow. Through the ether, Steve had signaled that he liked Mickey and Mickey responded by saying that she liked Steve. Five hours of this kind of communication and songs like “Baby I’m A Want You,” “Diary,” and the ultimate shut down, “You’ve Got a Friend.” Trust me, they weren’t looking for friends. They were looking for love, and sometimes in all the wrong places. © 2016 Kevin Scott Fleming So, when I came to the lessons for the week, I was a little startled. Our main lesson purports to be a love song. “Let me sing for my beloved my love-song concerning his vineyard…” But what follows is a strange lyric of condemnation and disapproval. If this is a love song, it is a very strange love song. The song begins with a metaphor – a parabolic image. It is the image of a vineyard and of a vintner who is hard at work, caring for the choicest vines that could be found to the point of near obsession. Protective walls are built. A watchtower is placed in the center of the vineyard so that security was provided. The earth is cultivated and strengthened. The vines are pruned and managed. This vineyard made those in the Napa Valley look like hobby gardens. When the harvest time had come, the vintner carefully cut the grapes from the vines and took them to the winepress. He selected a grape and placed it in his mouth. It was sour and worthless. The entire harvest was only fit to feed animals, not to be made into wine. The vintner throws up his hands in disgust. What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it? When I expected it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes? 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. I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and it shall be overgrown with briers and thorns; No one is going to blame this poor would-be wine baron for giving up. He had done everything exactly right. He had shown every possible form of care. And it was all for naught. If it is a love song, it is a song of unrequited love. The love was flowing only one way. The vintner was pouring out his life for the vines and the vines failed to respond to that love. “Here on the Wednesday night request show, a sad song of love, going out from God to God’s people, the music of Bread: ‘I found her diary underneath a tree. And started reading about me. The words began to stick and tears to flow. Her meaning now was clear to see. The love she’d waited for was someone else not me Wouldn’t you know it, she wouldn’t show it.’” The prophet makes it clear: the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the people of Judah are his pleasant planting; he expected justice, but saw bloodshed; righteousness, but heard a cry! God sings to God’s people a song of love. But God’s people do not sing back. It is a love song, but a song of unrequited love – a song of love rejected. God is still singing that song. God’s love song echoes through the cosmos. God’s song of love echoes through the ages. But how are we responding? God sings a song of justice. How are we responding? God sings a song of righteousness. How are we responding? This is not just a song for the ancient people of God. This is a song that comes to you and me – God’s people in this time and place. God sings out to us, “Where is justice? Where is righteousness?” God’s song sounds strangely like the music of the Black Eyed Peas: Madness is what you demonstrate And that’s exactly how anger works and operates Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love, y’all, y’all People killin’, people dyin’ Children hurt and you hear them cryin’ Can you practice what you preach? Or would you turn the other cheek? Father, Father, Father help us Send some guidance from above ‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’ Where is the love (Love) The sad truth is that Christianity has been reduced to clichés and mud-covered bumpersticker theology. For too many, a Christianity that can’t be tweeted is a Christianity that isn’t really Christianity. The Christianity that runs rampant in our culture is so watered-down and diluted from the life Jesus called us to live that I have doubts Jesus would recognize it if he were to walk among us today. I take no joy in saying that. Just look at our nation. We live in a country where hate is celebrated and cheered. We live in a nation where it is perfectly acceptable to discriminate against people because of their color, because of who they love, and now because of the religion they follow. We live in a nation that celebrates violence, that teaches it to our children, and then wonders what happened when someone takes a gun and shoots innocent people. We live in a nation where the gap between the rich and the poor has never been wider. We live in a nation where one in five children live in poverty and that rate is far higher among children of color. And we claim that we are a Christian nation. With those results, maybe we should let another tradition take the reins for a while. Father, Father, Father help us Send some guidance from above ‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’ Where is the love (Love) And still, God continues to sing. God continues to sing to us the song of justice and righteousness. God continues to love us, in spite of our obvious and sometimes in spite of our murky rejection of God’s song. God keeps singing, hoping that we will change our tune, and respond with the justice and righteousness that God seeks in us. God keeps sending out love songs to us all and waits to hear our response. God continues to sing. This is the very nature of God. God keeps singing no matter how much we refuse to listen or hear. God keeps singing no matter how it appears that we cannot hear. We call it mercy. We call it grace. God continues to sing and God’s people still have a million opportunities to return the song. God’s people – you and I – have all kinds of ways to answer God’s song with a song of our own. The song of justice and righteousness has many tunes, many verses, many interpretations. Surely we can find one or two that we can sing with gusto and passion! God continues to sing a very strange love song. It is a song of love offered and love rejected. But there is still time to write a few new verses to the song. There is still time to sing a new song – a better song than we have sung in days gone by. Father, Father, Father help us Send some guidance from above ‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’ Where is the love (Love) Father, Father, Father help us Send some guidance from above ‘Cause we are ready to respond Here is the love (Love) For now and evermore. Amen. .

  • Differentiation of Indian Cultures According to Geographical Areas
    DIFFEREXTIATIOX OF IXDIAX CULTURES ACCORDING TO GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS BY DR. GEORGE H. DAUGHERTY, JR. WHILE admitting the basic unity of Indian culture, scientists have discovered well defined variations in different parts of the country. On the evidence of material culture characteristics and archeological finds they have traced a close connection between the environment of a given locale and the culture of the indigenous tribes. Tlie purpose of the present article is to demonstrate first that there are distinct differences in the culture originally found among the Indians living in localities of different environment ; second, that these differences were caused by the environment and reflect it. Three of these cultural areas, already mentioned as the Great Lakes section of the Eastern Woodland Area, the Plains area, and the Southwest area, will be contrasted in the matter of physical environ- ment, material culture of resident tribes, and subject matter of literary expressions of these tribes. Archeological and ethnological, research has divided the Ameri- can continent into several "culture areas", or separate geographical division^. In each of these the climate, topography, fauna, and flora constitute a distinctive environment. Each of these major en- vironmental or cultural areas seem to have produced its own peculiar type of culture among the tribes who lived within its limits. Tribes who left one area and entered another tended to drop their former folk-ways and adoj)t those prevailing in the new environment. For instance the kind of food, the manner of hunting, type of weapons or of houses would (>l)viouslv be (Ictcrniincd bv axailablo natural re- sources.

  • Songs of Courtship: from Wisconsin’S Ho-Chunk, Pan-Indian, and European-American Immigrant Song and Dance Traditions Recommended for High School
    Songs of Courtship: From Wisconsin’s Ho-Chunk, Pan-Indian, and European-American Immigrant Song and Dance Traditions Recommended for High School This selection of courtship songs represent a range of musical styles from within the Ho-Chunk and early European-American immigrant communities in Wisconsin. Most of these songs were recorded in the early part of the 20th century, between 1920 and 1946. The European-American voices we hear are 2nd and 3rd generation descendants of Wisconsin immigrants who learned these Old World songs from their parents, grandparents and other community members. Where possible, translations of the foreign language lyrics are provided. Altogether, these songs provide teachers and students an opportunity to reflect on the social customs and protocols surrounding courtship from an earlier era, and to reflect on contemporary social norms and behaviors surrounding dating (and breaking up), love, and marriage. All songs and instrumental selections are resourced from the “Local Centers, Global Sounds” UW Digital Collections” at https://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/LocalCenters. Follow “Audio file” for the audio recording of each individual song.

  • Dimen Dong Culture Eco-Museum Dimen Dong Folk Chorus Smithsonian Folklife Festival Performance: June 30, 2013
    Dimen Dong Culture Eco-Museum Dimen Dong Folk Chorus Smithsonian Folklife Festival performance: June 30, 2013 PROGRAM LYRICS AND NOTES We close the village for rituals (Ga sakun / Gate-barring song) Today you come to our village, but we must bar the gate. We use pines and firs and anything with brambles to block the way. Let no stranger in. If strangers get in, our ducks and chickens will surely die. Often the first Dong music a visitor encounters, gate-barring songs still thrive among some Dong communities during inter-village visits. For the most part, though, this thousand-year-old tradition is reserved for tourists and official guests. Festive-clad women villagers (men, if present at all, are always at the back) confront visitors with bowls of local rice wine, belying the sternness of the words they sing. Mountains are beautiful (Ga jun / Narrative da ge) Mountains are beautiful: they are covered in blossoms, filled with bird calls, everywhere you can hear singing. When people walk amidst flowers, their hearts are filled with joy. Will you come with me? If our friends are also here, let’s all go up to the mountain to be close to the flowers and songs. This polyphonic song describes and praises the natural environment, which is the essence of the Dong belief of harmony between nature and man and among mankind. Cicada song (Ga so / Sound imitation da ge) Listen closely to my imitating cicadas: In the third month, cicadas sing for spring. But after the ninth month, their songs gradually disappear. Where do they go? Since I can’t see them, I can only imitate their song with my voice.

  • Stephen Foster and American Song a Guide for Singers
    STEPHEN FOSTER AND AMERICAN SONG A Guide for Singers A Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Samantha Mowery, B.A., M.M. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Dr. Robin Rice, Advisor Approved By Professor Peter Kozma ____________________ Dr. Wayne Redenbarger Advisor Professor Loretta Robinson Graduate Program in Music Copyright Samantha Mowery 2009 ABSTRACT While America has earned a reputation as a world-wide powerhouse in area such as industry and business, its reputation in music has often been questioned. Tracing the history of American folk song evokes questions about the existence of truly American song. These questions are legitimate because our country was founded by people from other countries who brought their own folk song, but the history of our country alone proves the existence of American song. As Americans formed lives for themselves in a new country, the music and subjects of their songs were directly related to the events and life of their newly formed culture. The existence of American song is seen in the vocal works of Stephen Collins Foster. His songs were quickly transmitted orally all over America because of their simple melodies and American subjects. This classifies his music as true American folk-song. While his songs are simple enough to be easily remembered and distributed, they are also lyrical with the classical influence found in art song. These characteristics have attracted singers in a variety of genres to perform his works. ii Foster wrote over 200 songs, yet few of those are known.

If read as a dramatic monologue, it is a lyric poem to a woman for the purpose of revealing Prufrock’s private thoughts.

  • I Am Filled with Heavenly Treasures Notes by Mary Ann Haagen In
    I Am Filled With Heavenly Treasures Notes by Mary Ann Haagen In these notes I will focus on aspects of Shaker song and Shaker music history that have shaped the repertoire and performance practice of the Enfield Shaker Singers. Because Shakerism is a living, practiced faith, not an historic relic, I will use the past tense only when I am talking about aspects of the tradition that have been set aside. The reader is referred to the selected bibliography and discography of Shaker music collections for more complete histories of Shaker music, particularly Daniel W. Patterson’s The Shaker Spiritual. The Origins of Shaker Song Shaker music is a unique body of American sacred folk music, created by eighteen American Shaker communities over a period of one hundred forty years (1780–1920). This rich tradition of song continues to serve the Shaker community in the twenty-first century because it embodies their history, records the testimony of Shakers “who have gone before,” articulates the religious principles on which Shakerism is founded, and reflects the faith of the contemporary community. The United Society of Believers, commonly called Shakers, had its beginning in 1747, in Manchester, England. At the urging of their spiritual leader Mother Ann Lee, eight members of that congregation accompanied her to America in 1774 to establish their faith in this “land of promise.” Because they were English, and pacifists, their presence was highly suspect. Mother Ann did not make her first American convert to Shakerism until the end of the American Revolution. Mother Ann, assisted by English leaders Father William and Father James, conducted missionary tours throughout New England from 1780 until her death in 1784.
