11:15 am • Morning Prayer •4 Music in the Liturgy

Prelude From Triptych for Transfiguration: Richard Webster (b. 1952) Plein jeu on O Jesu dulcis memoria The tune is that of Hymn 134. Meditation on Wareham The tune is that of Hymn 137.

Anthem Christ upon the mountain peak Webster Christ upon the mountain peak stands alone in glory blazing; Let us, if we dare to speak, with the saints and angels praise him. Alleluia! Trembling at his feet we saw Moses and Elijah speaking. All the prophets and the Law shout through them their joyful greeting. Alleluia! Swift the cloud of glory came. God proclaiming in its thunder Jesus as his Son by name! Nations cry aloud in wonder! Alleluia! This is God’s beloved Son! Law and prophets sing before him; first and last and only One, let creation now adore him. Alleluia! Text: Brian Wren (b. 1936)

Anthem Holy is the True Light William H. Harris (1883-1973) Holy is the True Light, and passing wonderful, lending radiance to them that endured in the heat of the conflict. From Christ they inherit a home of unfading splendour, wherein they rejoice with gladness evermore. Alleluia!

Anthem Beautiful Savior Silesian folk tune, arr. F. Melius Christiansen (1871-1955) Fair are the meadows, Fairer the woodlands, Robed in flow’rs of blooming spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, He makes our sorrowing spirit sing. Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations! Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and honor, Praise, adoration, Now and forevermore be Thine!

Anthem Christ whose glory fills the skies T. Frederick Candlyn (1892-1964) Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only Light, Sun of Righteousness, arise! Triumph o’er the shades of night: Dayspring from on high, be near; Daystar, in my heart appear. Dark and cheerless is the morn unaccompanied by thee; joyless is the day’s return, till thy mercy’s beams I see, till they inward light impart, glad my eyes, and warm my heart. Visit then this soul of mine! Pierce the gloom of sin and grief! Fill me, radiancy divine; scatter all my unbelief; more and more thyself display, shining to the perfect day. Charles Wesley (1707–88); Hymn 7

Postlude Tibi Christe, splendor Patris (from Triptych for Transfiguration) Webster The tune is that of Hymn 123.

Note on Choral Masses At the 9 am Holy Eucharist during the season of Epiphany, the Ordinary (Gloria, Sanctus/Benedictus and Agnus Dei) are sung by the choir. This venerable tradition is maintained and nurtured in Anglican cathedrals and certain parish churches around the world. The practice invites a different, perhaps deeper participation by the congregation. While the choir sings, the worshippers’ meditation on the words and how the com- poser has expressed them can invite new ways of engaging these ancient texts. Musical settings include: Harold Darke Communion Service in F (mid-20th c.) on Jan. 7 & 28; Richard Webster’s Missa Dorica (Mass in the Dorian Mode, 1996) on Jan. 14 & Feb. 4; Philip Stopford’s Keble Missa Brevis (1997) on Jan. 21; and Missa Brevis of Benjamin Britten (1959) on Feb. 11. Congregational singing of the Ordinary will resume during Lent, with Richard Proulx’s Missa Oecumenica, an adaptation of music from the Russian liturgy.
