04-20-2019 Easter Bulletin.Pub CELEBRATE THE RESURRECTION Trinity United Methodist Church Alexandria, Virginia Easter Sunday April 7, 2019 Eleven o’clock in the morning Music Notes In Joseph’s Lovely Garden is a traditional Spanish melody arranged by Clarence Dickinson. A founder of the American Guild of Organists and the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary, Clarence Dickinson (1873-1969) was known as the Dean of American Church Musicians. He reminisced, “I played several recitals on the organs in Spain —not very long after the close of the Spanish War. It was in Spain that we first began to collect folk songs. One of the earliest was In Jo- seph’s Lovely Garden. His wife, Helen Dickinson, was a well known lyricist, translator, and art historian. She, inspired by the Gospel accounts of Mary Magdalene at the tomb on Easter morning, wrote the words to this carol. Helen and her husband Clarence wrote hundreds of chorales and anthems for church choirs. Their work is well-represented in many choral libraries, including ours. Trinity’s Dr. Paul Taylor has arranged the violin descant for the fourth verse of this lovely Easter carol. Scatter the Darkness, Break the Gloom is a setting by Ralph Schultz of text by Stephen Starke. This joyous hymn pairs East- er text with the bright familiar Bensaçon tune, found in our hymnal at #202 (titled “People, Look East”). Schultz adds an in- strumental descant to his Easter carol setting. This traditional French carol from the eastern part of France, appeared in the "Recueil de Noëls anciens au patois de Besançon," which was published in 1842. Now Glad of Heart: This is a traditional 16th century German Easter carol. It’s text is a loose translation by Arthur Henry Fox-Strangways of the German hymn 'Wir wollen alle fröhlich sein', which, according to the Oxford Book of Carols, "was 'an old song' already in Spangenberg's Christlichs Gesangbüchlein, 1568." We have added handbell accompaniment. Alleluia from Motet VI: The Alleluia is from the motet Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden, BWV 230 composed by Johann Sebas- tian Bach (1685-1750). The word “motet” (from the French mot, “word, saying”) usually refers to a sacred composition in Lat- in. However, Bach’s six motets are in German. Bach’s first biographer, Forkel, refers to “many single and double choir mo- tets,” implying that there were many others, though only six complete ones and a few scattered movements survive today. Un- like Bach’s other five motets, Bach uses no chorale. He sets Psalm 117 as a double fugue with an extended coda in triple meter for the final Alleluia. It is common for a continuo group to double the voices as support for the choral parts, even where con- tinuo is not explicitly indicated in the score. However, this motet has a written continuo which is different from the vocal bass line. This has led some scholars to believe that “Lobet den Herrn” may actually be a part of a larger undiscovered Bach work, perhaps a cantata. It is interesting to note that, as few and as difficult as they are, Bach’s motets continued to be performed even during the eighty-year eclipse of his works after his death. They enthralled the young Mozart when he visited Leipzig in 1789, and they were among the first Bach works that Breitkopf & Hartel published in 1803. O Risen Lord by K. Lee Scott (b. 1950) sets text by John Mason Neale (1818-1866) in a lilting choral work celebrating the Easter story. Scott, known for his compositions for the church, has published over 300 anthems, hymns and works for ensem- ble. I Know That My Redeemer Liveth from Messiah: When Charles Jennens presented Handel (1685-1759) with his text for Messiah in 1741, Handel’s fortunes were so low that he was considering leaving England. Jennens hoped to persuade Handel to return to writing English oratorios. In the summer of 1741 came a fortuitous invitation to give a series of concerts in Dublin. With these concerts in mind, Handel set to work on the music for Messiah on August 22, completing the enormous work on September 14, a mere three weeks later. (It should be noted that it was common practice to use materials from previous works as well as the works of others.) The first performance of Messiah took place in Dublin on April 13, 1742. Handel performed it some three dozen times—every time around Easter. Messiah is divided into three sections. The first is concerned with the prophesy of the coming of a Messiah and then with Christ's Nativity. Part II deals with Christ's suffering and death. The con- cluding section offers an affirmation of Christian faith and glimpses of Revelation. Part II concludes with “Hallelujah,” and Part III begins with the soprano aria “I know that my Redeemer liveth,” which takes its text from Job 19:25-26 and 1 Corinthi- ans 15:20. Worthy Is the Lamb from Messiah: When Handel brought his oratorio to Covent Garden in London, it was not well re- ceived. It was thought unseemly that a sacred work should be performed in a theater. It closed after only three performances, despite the presence of King George II who attended the first performance. When Messiah was scheduled to be performed in Westminster Abbey, other members of the clergy declared it sacrilege for a public entertainment to take place in a consecrated church! And Jennens wasn’t entirely pleased with what Handel had done with his text either. After initially expressing thorough disappointment with the musical treatment, Jennens later declared Handel’s composition “a fine Entertainment, tho’ not near so good as he might & ought to have done.” In Messiah, Part III is often considered Handel’s best writing. In the words of one writer: “However, it is in the towering final choruses, ‘Worthy is the Lamb’ and ‘Amen’, that Handel truly surpasses himself with music that carries all before it in an exultant affirmation of faith.” Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah: Almost certainly, the Hallelujah Chorus is the most frequently-sung choral selection in all of classical music. Composed by George Frideric Handel in 1741 when he was 56, he used a libretto created from a collection of Bible texts about the life of Christ by friend and patron Charles Jennens. The tradition of standing during the Hallelujah Chorus began during a performance on March 23, 1743. King George II was attending, and when the Chorus began, he rose. It is unclear why he stood, however people around the world still rise to their feet whenever they hear the first notes! THE ORDER OF SERVICE EPlease stand in body and/or spirit.

    CONCERT NIGHT WITH THE DAYTON PHILHARMONIC SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 2021, 8pm PROGRAM PAGES Dear “Concert Night…” Listener, Thanks for joining us for our extended program this week, a re-broadcast of a complete, uncut performance of Handel’s Messiah, recorded in December 2010 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in downtown Dayton. The actual program pages for this performance should be somewhere in the DPAA archives or computer system, but so far, they have managed to stay hidden. Angela Whitehead, our wonderful Director of Marketing Communication, who tracks down the program pages we post online for “Concert Night with the Dayton Philharmonic” has scoured the computer drives, gone undercover, paid her usual confidential informants (no, just kidding there), and, sadly, has come up empty. So I’ve reconstructed program pages—of a sort—for this week’s program, including the most important thing: the complete text of the oratorio so you can follow along if you so desire. Thanks for your understanding, Happy Easter, and enjoy the performance!

  • The Royal Music Library and Its Handel Collection
    The Royal Music Library and its Handel Collection Donald Burrows The year 2007 saw several round-figure anniversaries of events associated with Handel’s music, most obviously those of his first and last oratorios – Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno (1707) and its final English version as The Triumph of Time and Truth (1757) – but also that of the first Crystal Palace Handel Festival (1857). Rather less obvious, because it does not relate so directly to Handel’s career or to performances of his music, was the anniversary of the presentation of the Royal Music Library to the Trustees of the British Museum by Queen Elizabeth II, announced on 27 November 1957. Her Majesty’s gift commemorated the two hundredth anniversary of a similar occurrence in 1757, when King George II had given the Old Royal Library to the newly-established British Museum. The Royal Music Library has one of the major collections of source material for Handel’s music, in particular because it includes ninety-six volumes of his musical autographs. There are other important items as well, but it is the autographs that render the Royal Music Library collection indispensable to scholarly work on nearly every one of Handel’s compositions: in addition to their musical content, the pages of the autographs have many details that provide striking images of the composer’s activity (see figs 1-3).1 Before the twentieth century a few favoured musicians and scholars visited the Royal Music Library at various times, and it is perhaps not surprising that the best evidence for such visits comes in connection with references to Handel’s autographs.

    Sun of Composers 2010-2011 Series Concordia Seminary The Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus The above diagram, “Sun of Composers,” was designed by Augustus Frederick Christopher Kollmann, in an engraving in Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung, vol. 1, 1799. April 17, 2011, 3:00 p.m. Christoph Wolff says in his monumental book, Johann Sebastian Bach: The Learned Musician, pp. 9 and 10, in the Prologue, “There, at the center, appears the name of Johann Sebastian Bach, surrounded in various layers by the names of other composers, the first layer comprising George Frideric Handel, Carl Heinrich Graun, and Franz Joseph Haydn. And Haydn, whose reputation by that time as Europe’s premier composer was beyond question, is said to have been ‘not unfavorably impressed by it [the diagram], nor minded the proximity to Handel and Graun, nor considered it at all wrong that Johann Sebastian Bach was the center of the sun and hence the man from whom all true musical wisdom proceeded.’” Welcome to Bach at the Sem! Schedule of Concerts Someone told me that Bishop N. T. Wright described Easter as “the big bang of new creation.” Renewal awaits us this week. Through the drama, intrigue, suffering, and death of Holy Week—all so Bach at the Sem 2010-2011 human, isn’t it?—God moves methodically to open the tomb to new life.
