Tenebrae 2021 Tenebrae A service of evening prayer for Holy Week The worshipping community of Long Ashton, Barrow Gurney and Flax Bourton The name Tenebrae is the Latin word for "darkness" or "shadows," and has for centuries been applied to the ancient monastic night and early morning services of the last three days of Holy Week, which in medieval times came to be celebrated on the preceding evenings. This service is marked by the reading of Psalms and verses from the book of Lamentations. We begin with seven candles alight but their gradual extinguishing during the course of the service signifies the enveloping darkness - until a single candle, considered a symbol of the Lord, remains. Towards the end of the service, even this candle is hidden, typifying the apparent victory of the forces of evil. However, at the very end, a loud noise - the ‘strepitus’ - is made, symbolising the earthquake at the time of the resurrection (Matthew 28:2). The hidden candle is then restored to its place and by its light all depart. Material in this service is taken from the Oremus website, and compiled from: The Book of Occasional Services, 1979, Episcopal Church; and Celebrating Common Prayer, Society of St. Francis. The recording of Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories is by the Cambridge Singers, conducted by John Rutter. The gathering O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us. Chant Stay with me; remain here with me. Watch and pray; watch and pray. Verses from Psalm 51 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you alone, have I sinned, and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are justified in your sentence and blameless when you pass judgment. The first candle is extinguished Verses from Psalm 59 Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from those who work evil; from the bloodthirsty save me. Even now they lie in wait for my life; the mighty stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord, for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Rouse yourself, come to my help and see! The second candle is extinguished Verses from Psalm 22 Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help. Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. Roaring lions tearing their prey open their mouths wide against me. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death. Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have pierced my hands and my feet. The third candle is extinguished A reading from the Lamentations of the Prophet Jeremiah How lonely sits the city that once was full of people! How like a widow she has become, she that was great among the nations! She that was a princess among the provinces has become a vassal. She weeps bitterly in the night, with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers she has no one to comfort her; all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they have become her enemies. Judah has gone into exile with suffering and hard servitude; she lives now among the nations, and finds no resting place; her pursuers have all overtaken her in the midst of her distress. The roads to Zion mourn, for no one comes to the festivals; all her gates are desolate, her priests groan; her young girls grieve,[a] and her lot is bitter. Her foes have become the masters, her enemies prosper, because the Lord has made her suffer for the multitude of her transgressions; her children have gone away, captives before the foe. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to your God! The fourth candle is extinguished Responsory On the mount of Olives, Jesus prayed to the Father: Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak. Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak. The reading continues: From daughter Zion has departed all her majesty. Her princes have become like stags that find no pasture; they fled without strength before the pursuer. Jerusalem remembers, in the days of her affliction and wandering, all the precious things that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into the hand of the foe, and there was no one to help her, the foe looked on mocking over her downfall. Jerusalem sinned grievously, so she has become a mockery; all who honoured her despise her, for they have seen her nakedness; she herself groans, and turns her face away. Her uncleanness was in her skirts; she took no thought of her future; her downfall was appalling, with none to comfort her. “O Lord, look at my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!” Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to your God! The fifth candle is extinguished Responsory My soul is very sorrowful, even to the point of death; remain here and watch with me. Now you will see the crowd who will surround me; you will flee, and I will go to be offered up for you. Behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. You will flee, and I will go to be offered up for you. The reading continues: Enemies have stretched out their hands over all her precious things; she has even seen the nations invade her sanctuary, those whom you forbade to enter your congregation. All her people groan as they search for bread; they trade their treasures for food to revive their strength. Look, O Lord, and see how worthless I have become. Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow, which was brought upon me, which the Lord inflicted on the day of his fierce anger. From on high he sent fire; it went deep into my bones; he spread a net for my feet; he turned me back; he has left me stunned, faint all day long. My transgressions were bound into a yoke; by his hand they were fastened together; they weigh on my neck, sapping my strength; the Lord handed me over to those whom I cannot withstand. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to your God! The sixth candle is extinguished Responsory Lo, we have seen him without beauty or majesty, with no looks to attract our eyes. He bore our sins and grieved for us, he was wounded for our transgressions and by his scourging we are healed. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. And by his scourging we are healed. Music - O vos omnes - from the Tenebrae Responsories by Carlo Gesualdo Verses from Psalm 88 For my soul is full of trouble and my life draws near the grave. I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am like a man without strength. I am set apart with the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more, who are cut off from your care. You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths. The seventh candle is hidden. Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross. Silence is held Christ for our sake became obedient unto death, even death upon a cross; therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name. The ‘strepitus’ is sounded and the seventh candle is replaced Verses from Psalm 16 I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. Chant The Lord is my light, my light and salvation. In God I trust. In God I trust. The dismissal Go in the light of Christ! Thanks be to God We depart in silence.

  • Saints Alive
    Welcome to Saints Alive For centuries the faith of our brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers has been fashioned, refined, colored and intensified by the sheer variety and passion of the lives of the great Christian saints. Their passions, their strengths and weaknesses, the immense variety of their lives have intrigued children young and old for ages. You may even have been named for a particular saint – Dorothy, Dolores, Anne or Elizabeth; Malachi, Francis or even Hugh. So why not celebrate some of those remarkable people through music? As we resume our trek along the Mission Road, we high- light music written in the Americas to celebrate the life and work of our city’s patron saint, Francis, as well as the lives and mission of other men and women venerated by the great musical masters. Saint Cecilia, patroness of music, is very much alive and present in a setting of “Resuenen los cla- rines” by the Mexican Sumaya. Bassani, an Italian who thrived in Bolivia when it was still called Upper Peru, pays homage to Saint Joseph in a Mass setting bearing his name. Its blend of self-taught craftsmanship and mastery of orchestration is fascinating, intriguing, even jolly. It’s as if Handel and the young Mozart had joined hands, jumped on a boat and headed to the heart of South America. What a nice addition to our library! Chants taught by the zealous, mission-founding Sancho have been sent our way – chants in his own hand, no less. Ignatius Loyola is represented by three short motets (that’s almost too glamorous a name for them, they are more folkish in their style) from Bolivia.

  • Queen of Muses Divine Consolations Tenebrae
    In a single decade, Stile Antico has established itself as one of the world's most accomplished early music vocal ensembles. Offering new programmes for 2018,p the ensemble enjoys a prestigious touring career and has an award-winning discography with Harmonia Mundi. p QUEEN OF MUSES Elizabeth I as Monarch, Patron & Lover – 12 singers The reign of the great Tudor Queen, Elizabeth I, saw an unparalleled flowering of the arts in England. The 'Virgin Queen', herself a talented musician, presided over a court which revelled in the skill of great composers such as Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, and John Dowland. This programme explores the way music was used to gain favour with the Queen by courtiers and diplomats and even by suitors, seeking to gain the royal hand in marriage. Along the way, we meet foreign spies, disgraced favourites and plotting noblemen, illuminating the life of a court which rejoiced in some of the finest music ever created in England. DIVINE CONSOLATIONS Music of reflection and hope by Bach and his predecessors – 12 singers plus continuo In this alluring programme, Stile Antico explores an exquisite selection of German Baroque repertoire. Delving into the rich tradition of Lutheran funeral music written to console and uplift the living, the ensemble traces a journey from the polyphonic works of the late Renaissance (often performed in Bach's Leipzig), by way of Schütz's masterpiece, the Musikalische Exequien , to Bach's longest and most moving motet, Jesu meine Freude . This programme marks the first time that Stile Antico has collaborated with basso continuo.
