In a garden shady this holy lady With reverent cadence and subtle psalm, All you lived through, Like a black swan as death came on Dancing because you Poured forth her song in perfect calm: No longer need it And by ocean’s margin this innocent virgin For any deed. Constructed an organ to enlarge her prayer, And notes tremendous from her great engine I shall never be Thundered out on the Roman air. Different. Love me. Blonde Aphrodite rose up excited, Blessed Cecilia, appear in visions Moved to delight by the melody, To all musicians, appear and inspire: White as an orchid she rode quite naked Translated Daughter, come down and startle In an oyster shell on top of the sea; Composing mortals with immortal fire. At sounds so entrancing the angels dancing Came out of their trance into time again, III And around the wicked in Hell’s abysses The huge flame flickered and eased their pain. O ear whose creatures cannot wish to fall, O calm of spaces unafraid of weight, Blessed Cecilia, appear in visions Where Sorrow is herself, forgetting all To all musicians, appear and inspire: The gaucheness of her adolescent state, Translated Daughter, come down and startle Where Hope within the altogether strange Composing mortals with immortal fire. From every outworn image is released, And Dread born whole and normal like a beast Into a world of truths that never change: II Restore our fallen day; O re-arrange. I cannot grow; O dear white children casual as birds, I have no shadow Playing among the ruined languages, To run away from, So small beside their large confusing words, I only play. So gay against the greater silences Of dreadful things you did: O hang the head, I cannot err; Impetuous child with the tremendous brain, There is no creature O weep, child, weep, O weep away the stain, Whom I belong to, Lost innocence who wished your lover dead, Whom I could wrong. Weep for the lives your wishes never led. 4 O cry created as the bow of sin Five Negro Spirituals, Sir Michael Tippett Is drawn across our trembling violin. from A Child of Our Time O weep, child, weep, O weep away the stain. O law drummed out by hearts against the still 1. Steal away Long winter of our intellectual will. Steal away, steal away, steal away to Jesus. That what has been may never be again. Steal away, steal away home. O flute that throbs with the thanksgiving breath I han’t got long to stay here. Of convalescents on the shores of death. My Lord, he calls me, he calls me by the thunder. O bless the freedom that you never chose. The trumpet sounds within-a my soul. O trumpets that unguarded children blow I han’t got long to stay here. About the fortress of their inner foe. Steal away… O wear your tribulation like a rose. Green trees a-bending, poor sinner stands a-trembling. Blessed Cecilia, appear in visions The trumpet sounds within-a my soul. To all musicians, appear and inspire: I han’t got long to stay here. Translated Daughter, come down and startle Steal away… Composing mortals with immortal fire. 2. Nobody knows — W. H. Auden (1907–1973) Nobody knows the trouble I see, Lord, Song for St. Cecilia’s Day (1940) Nobody knows the trouble I see. Nobody knows the trouble I see, Lord, Nobody knows like Jesus. On Craig Ddu, Frederick Delius O brothers, pray for me, Help me to drive old Satan away. The sky through the leaves of the bracken, Nobody knows… Tenderly, pallidly blue, Nothing but sky as I lie on the mountain-top. O mothers, pray for me, Hark! for the wind as it blew, Help me to drive old Satan away. Nobody knows… Rustling the tufts of my bracken above me, Brought from below 3. Go down, Moses Into the silence the sound of the water. Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt land; Hark! for the oxen low, Tell old Pharaoh to let my people go. Sheep are bleating, a dog When Israel was in Egypt land, Barks, at a farm in the vale: Oppressed so hard they could not stand, Blue through the bracken, softly enveloping, Let my people go. Silence, a veil. “Thus spake the Lord,” bold Moses said, — Arthur Symons (1865–1945) “If not, I’ll smite your firstborn dead.” from London Nights (1895) Let my people go. 5 4. By and by Faire is the heaven, Sir William Henry Harris O by and by, I’m going to lay down my heavy load. Faire is the heav’n where happy soules have place. I know my robe’s going to fit me well, In full enjoyment of felicitie; I’ve tried it on at the gates of Hell. Whence they doe still behold the glorious face O Hell is deep and a dark despair, Of the Divine Eternall Majestie; O stop, poor sinner, and don’t go there! O by and by... Yet farre more faire be those bright Cherubins Which all with golden wings are overdight.* 5. Deep river And those eternall burning Seraphins Deep river, my home is over Jordan. Which from their faces dart out fiery light; Deep river, Lord, Yet fairer than they both, and much more bright, I want to cross over into campground. Be th’ Angels and Archangels which attend On God’s owne Person without rest or end. Oh, chillun! Oh, don’t you want to go to that gospel feast, These then in faire each other farre excelling, That promised land were all is peace. As to the Highest they approach more neare. Walk into heaven and take my seat, Yet is the Highest farre beyond all telling And cast my crown at Jesus’ feet. Fairer than all the rest which there appear, Deep river… Though all their beauties joynd together were; How then can mortall tongue hope to expresse ❧ The image of such endless perfectnesse? — Edmund Spenser (c.1552–1599) from A Hymne of Heavenly Beautie (1596) * overdight = covered over Where does the uttered Music go? Sir William Walton Where does the uttered Music go? When well attempered mind and hand Have made the mortal clay to glow And separate spirits understand? Ah, whither, whither goes the boon, The joy, that sweeps the wilful sense Into the planetary tune Of sun-directed influence? What is this creature, Music, save the Art, The Rhythm that the planets journey by? The living Sun-Ray entering the heart, Touching the Life with that which cannot die? 6 This Man with Music touched our minds Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; With rapture from the shining ranks, The motions of his spirit are dull as night The Loves and Laws of unknown kinds And his affections dark as Erebus: 2 Who utter everlasting thanks. Let no such man be trusted. All that he uttered, may remain Music! hark! It is your music of the house. As Light, as Order, cleaving Space, Methinks it sounds much sweeter than by day. Within the emptiness, a gain, Silence bestows that virtue on it. Within the solitude, a grace. How many things by season season’d are To their right praise and true perfection! O Mortals, praise him, for his hand Peace, ho! the moon sleeps with Endymion3 Brought to his brothers many a ray And would not be awaked. From Light perceived, though never scanned, From Law unknown, which all obey. Soft stillness and the night Become the touches of sweet harmony.

  • Choral Evensong

    Choral Evensong

    CHORAL EVENSONG 5:00 P.M. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2017 THE FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY CHRIST CHURCH 118 N. Washington St. Alexandria, VA 22314 www.HistoricChristChurch.org CHORAL EVENSONG is the service of Evening Prayer with choral music. It is sung in cathedrals with choral foundations on a more or less daily basis, and in many parish churches around the world. The Prayer Book of 1662 established the pattern for Choral Evensong which remains in common usage throughout the worldwide Anglican Communion. Since the earliest Christian times, the need to mark the passing of time with prayer has been recognized. The monastic cycle of prayer began in the desert with Anthony in the fourth century and continues to this day. By the Reformation, Vespers had become an elaborate musical celebration in the evening. The English Reformation demanded that the vernacular be the language of worship and resulted in the liturgical simplicity of Thomas Cranmer’s services of Morning and Evening Prayer. The provision of music for this structure and these words was the task of men like Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, and Tomkins, whose creativity laid the foundations of Anglican choral worship. Choral Evensong is the quintessence of such worship. The canon of music for Evensong continues to grow, with composers from around the world contributing to it. Unlike the Eucharist, which follows the movement of the Church calendar, and unlike private prayer, which follows the events of our lives, the daily office follows its own rhythm. The readings are done “in course,” and are not specifically chosen to make a particular point, and the canticles (Magnificat and Nunc dimittis) are the same each day.

    Percy Grainger, Frederick Delius and the 1914–1934 American ‘Delius Campaign’

    ‘The Art-Twins of Our Timestretch’: Percy Grainger, Frederick Delius and the 1914–1934 American ‘Delius Campaign’ Catherine Sarah Kirby Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Music (Musicology) April 2015 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music The University of Melbourne Produced on archival quality paper Abstract This thesis explores Percy Grainger’s promotion of the music of Frederick Delius in the United States of America between his arrival in New York in 1914 and Delius’s death in 1934. Grainger’s ‘Delius campaign’—the title he gave to his work on behalf of Delius— involved lectures, articles, interviews and performances as both a pianist and conductor. Through this, Grainger was responsible for a number of noteworthy American Delius premieres. He also helped to disseminate Delius’s music by his work as a teacher, and through contact with publishers, conductors and the press. In this thesis I will examine this campaign and the critical reception of its resulting performances, and question the extent to which Grainger’s tireless promotion affected the reception of Delius’s music in the USA. To give context to this campaign, Chapter One outlines the relationship, both personal and compositional, between Delius and Grainger. This is done through analysis of their correspondence, as well as much of Grainger’s broader and autobiographical writings. This chapter also considers the relationship between Grainger, Delius and others musicians within their circle, and explores the extent of their influence upon each other. Chapter Two examines in detail the many elements that made up the ‘Delius campaign’.
