Advent O Come, O Come Emmanuel Andrew Carter (b. 1939) Ev’ry Valley (Messiah) G. F. Handel (1685-1759) Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill made low, the crooked straight, and the rough places plain. Isaiah 40:4 Christmas Hark, the Herald Angels Sing Sir David Willcocks (1919-2015) Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Setting by Willis Bodine (b. 1935) Break forth, O beauteous heav’nly light, and usher in the morning; ye shepherds, shrink not with affright, but hear the angel’s warning. This Child, now weak in infancy, our confidence and joy shall be, the pow’r of Satan breaking, our peace eternal making. Johann Rist, 1641, from Isaiah 9:2-7; English version by John Troutbeck Lent Toccata on O Filii et Filiae Lynwood Farnham (1885-1930) Out of the deep (Requiem) John Rutter (b. 1945) Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. O let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint. If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to make what is done amiss: O Lord, who may abide it? For there is mercy with thee: therefore shalt thou be fear’d. I look for the Lord: my soul doth wait for him, and in his word is my trust. My soul fleeth unto the Lord: before the morning watch, I say. O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy: and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his sins. Psalm 130 Easter Mozart—Alleluia (Exsultate, Jubilate) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) Christ the Lord is risen again John Rutter (b. 1945) Christ the Lord is risen again! Christ hath broken every chain! Hark, the angels sing for joy, singing evermore on high, Alleluia! He who gave for us his life, who for us endur’d the strife, is our Paschal Lamb today! We too sing for joy and say, Alleluia! He who bore all pain and loss comfortless upon the cross, lives in glory now on high, pleads for us, and hears our cry. Alleluia! Now he bids us tell abroad how the lost may be restor’d, how the penitent forgiv’n, how we too may enter heav’n. Alleluia! Thou, our Paschal Lamb indeed, Christ, today thy people feed: Take our sins and guilt away, that we all may sing for ay, Alleluia! Michael Weisse (c. 1480-1534); tr. Catherine Winkworth More! Un’aura amorosa (Così fan tutte) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Sung in Italian: A breath of love from our treasures will offer sweet sustenance to our hearts. A heart nourished by hope, by love has no need of a greater lure. Allegro (Horn Concerto in E-flat Major, op. 11) Richard Strauss (1864-1949) The Shepherd on the Rock Franz Schubert (1797-1828) Sung in German: When I stand on the highest rock, look down into the deep valley and sing, from far away in the deep dark valley the echo from the ravines rises up. The further my voice carries, the clearer it echoes back to me from below. My sweetheart lives so far from me, therefore I long so to be with her over there. Deep grief consumes me, my joy has fled, all earthly hope has vanished, I am so lonely here. The song rang out so longingly through the wood, rang out so longingly through the night, that is draws hearts to heaven with wondrous power. Spring is coming, Spring, my joy, I shall now make ready to journey. The Sound of Music (Choral Highlights) Oscar Hammerstein II (1895-1960) Richard Rodgers (1902-1979) Arranged by John Leavitt (b. 1956) The hills are alive with the sound of music, with songs they have sung for a thousand years. The hills fill my heart with the sound of music. My heart wants to sing ev’ry song it hears. My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees. My hearts wants to sign like a chime that flies from a church on a breeze. To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over stones on its way. To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray. I go to the hills when my heart is lonely. I know I will hear what I’ve heard before. My heart will be blessed with the sound of music, and I’ll sing once more. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens; bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens; brown paper packages tied up with strings: these are a few of my favorite things. Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels; doorbells and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles; wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings: these are a few of my favorite things. Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes; snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes; silver white winters that melt into springs: these are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things and then I don’t feel so bad. High on a hill was a lonely goatherd. Layee odl, layee odl layeeeo. Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd. Folks in a town that was quite remote heard. Lusty and clear from the goatherd’s throat heard. Prince on the bridge of the castle moat heard. Men on a road with a load to tote heard. Men in the midst of a table d’hote heard. Men drinkin’ beer with the foam afloat heard. One little girl in a pale pink coat heard. She yodled back to the lonely goatherd. Soon her name with a gleaming gloat heard. What a duet for a girl and a goatherd. Oho, laydee odl leeo, Oho, laydee odlay! Oho, laydee odl leeo, hodlodileeeoay! Happy are they, laylee o layleeo! O laylee o laylee layeeo. Soon the duet will become a trio. Layee odl, layee odlo. Hodilayee! Hodi layee odileeeodilay! Let’s start at the very beginning—a very good place to start. When you read you begin with A-B-C. When you sing you being with do-re-mi. The first three notes just happen to be do-re-mi. Doe, a deer, a female deer. Ray, a drop of golden sun. Me, a name I call myself. Far, a long, long way to run. Sew, a needle pulling thread. La, a note to follow sew. Tea, a drink with jam and bread. That will bring us back to do! So do la fa mi do re. So do la ti do re do. When you know the notes to sing, you can sing most anything. Climb ev’ry mountain, search high and low, follow ev’ry byway, ev’ry path you know. Climb ev’ry mountain, ford ev’ry stream, follow every rainbow till you find your dream. A dream that will need all the love you can give, ev’ry of your life for as long as you live. Climb ev’ry mountain, ford ev’ry stream, follow ev’ry rainbow till you find your dream! WELCOME TO THIS AFTERNOON’S CONCERT. Funding comes, in part, from The Holy Trinity Music Fund.

HJST. survey Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign http://archive.org/details/englishduplicateOOdesc English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr. © 1958, Louis des Cognets, Jr. P.O. Box 163 Princeton, New Jersey This book is dedicated to my grandmother ANNA RUSSELL des COGNETS in memory of the many years she spent writing two genealogies about her Virginia ancestors \ i FOREWORD This book was compiled from material found in the Public Record Office during the summer of 1957. Original reports sent to the Colonial Office from Virginia were first microfilmed, and then transcribed for publication. Some of the penmanship of the early part of the 18th Century was like copper plate, but some was very hard to decipher, and where the same name was often spelled in two different ways on the same page, the task was all the more difficult. May the various lists of pioneer Virginians contained herein aid both genealogists, students of colonial history, and those who make a study of the evolution of names. In this event a part of my debt to other abstracters and compilers will have been paid. Thanks are due the Staff at the Public Record Office for many heavy volumes carried to my desk, and for friendly assistance. Mrs. William Dabney Duke furnished valuable advice based upon her considerable experience in Virginia research. Mrs .Olive Sheridan being acquainted with old English names was especially suited to the secretarial duties she faithfully performed.

    C M Y K musical musicalVISITORS TO BRITAIN VISITORS musicalVISITORS Over the centuries Britain has attracted many musical visitors. This book tells the stories of the many composers who visited – a varied and often eccentric collection of individuals. lisztThe earliest were invited by royalty with musical tastes; some were refugees from religious TO and political oppressions; others came as spies, a few to escape from debt and even murder chopincharges. However, the main motive was a possibility of financial reward. BRITAIN The rise in the nineteenth century of the celebrity composer, who was often also a conductor, is also traced. With the development of new forms of transport, composers TO DAVID GORDON • PETER GORDON were able to travel more extensively, both from the Continent and from the USA. New BRITAIN wagneropportunities were also presented by the opening of public halls, where concerts could be held, as well as the growth of music festivals. In the twentieth and twenty-first centuries the aeroplane has enabled a regular influx of composers, and the book ends with a liszt consideration of the universalising of music as well as the impact of new forms, such as mozartjazz. chopin Musical Visitors to Britain is a fascinating book which should appeal to both the general handelreader and those with a special interest in music history. David Gordon is one of the leading harpsichordists in the UK, and performs with violinists wagner DAVID GORDON DAVID haydnAndrew Manze, Nigel Kennedy and the baroque orchestra English Concert, specialising in PETER GORDON improvisation.

Jenkins) HISTORY AND ORIGINS OF THE WORK Although Bach's Christmas Oratorio (1734) has been as popular a work for choirs and choral societies to perform as his two Passions, it has striven against Handel's Messiah as the obvious work to choose for a Christmas performance. Its daunting length when performed uncut, and the need for a work with a less demanding orchestration (such as that found in Messiah) has probably meant that it has been chosen less often than it should have been. This may go some way to explain why there has been no new English edition since the original Novello Octavo edition, containing John Troutbeck's translation, of 1874. My researches in the British Library have turned up no other published translation apart from an incomplete version by Helen Johnston - also published in the year 1874. Helen Johnston (1813-87) was the first person to translate any of the major Bach choral works into English, producing her translation of the St Matthew Passion for Sir William Sterndale Bennett's 1862 edition. She does not appear to have turned her attention to the St John Passion, which was receiving frequent performances in England during the 1870s under the direction of Sir Joseph Barnby, since he used a translation made by a Minor Canon of Westminster Abbey - the Rev. John Troutbeck (1832-99). Troutbeck was an indefatigable translator, not only of all Bach's major choral works, but also of Oratorios by Beethoven, Brahms, Dvorak, Gounod, Liszt, Saint-Saens, Schumann and Weber.
