Almighty and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh that thy faithful people do unto thee true and laudable service: grant, we beseech thee; that we may so faithfully serve thee in this life, that we fail not finally to attain thy heavenly promises; through the mer- its of Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen. The Lesson: Isaiah 66:18-21 Thus says the Lord: “I know their works and their thoughts, and I am coming to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come and shall see my glory, and I will set a sign among them. And from them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Put, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations. And they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as an offering to the Lord, upon hors- es, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, just as the sons of Israel bring their cereal offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord. And some of them also I will take for priests and Levites, says the Lord.” V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God. The Psalm: Psalm 117 [Laudate Dominum] Chant, William Russell (1777-1813) O praise the Lord, | all ye | nations: praise | him, | all ye | peoples. For his merciful kindness is ever more and | more to- | ward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for | ev-er. | Praise the | Lord. The Epistle: Hebrews 12:5-7, 11-13 Brethren, have you forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as sons? -- “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage when you are punished by him. For the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant; later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. V. The Word of the Lord. R. Thanks be to God. Gospel Acclamation Domine, refugium Psalm 90 Alleluia. Alleluia. Lord, thou hast been our refuge: from one generation to another. Alleluia. The Holy Gospel: St. Luke 13:22-30 V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. V. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Luke. R. Glory be to thee, O Lord. At that time, Jesus went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. And some one said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ He will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’ There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you your- selves thrust out. And men will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” V. The Gospel of the Lord. R. Praise be to thee, O Christ.

  • Holy War in Henry Fifth
    Holy War in Henry Fifth Published in Shakespeare Survey 48, Nov./Dec. 1995, reprinted in Shakespearean Criticism Gale Publications, 1996 Steven Marx English Department, Cal Poly University San Luis Obispo [email protected] Joel Altman calls Henry V 'the most active dramatic experience Shakespeare ever offered his audience'.1 The experience climaxes at the end of the final battle with the arrival of news of victory. Here the king orders that two hymns be sung while the dead are buried, the 'Non Nobis' and the 'Te Deum'. In his 1989 film, Kenneth Branagh underlines the theatrical emphasis of this implicit stage direction. He extends the climax for several minutes by setting Patrick Doyle's choral-symphonic rendition of the 'Non Nobis' hymn behind a single tracking shot that follows Henry as he bears the dead body of a boy across the corpse- strewn field of Agincourt. The idea for this operatic device was supplied by Holinshed, who copied it from Halle, who got the story from a chain of traditions that originated in the event staged by the real King Henry in 1415. Henry himself took instruction from another book, the Bible.2 The hymns which Henry requested derive from verses in the psalter. 'Non Nobis' is the Latin title of Psalm 115 , which begins, 'Not unto us, O lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the glorie... .' This psalm celebrates the defeat of the Egyptian armies and God's deliverance of Israel at the Red Sea. It comes midway in the liturgical sequence known as The Egyptian Hallelujah extending from Psalm 113-118, a sequence that Jesus and the disciples sang during the Passover celebration at the Last Supper and that Jews still recite at all their great festivals.3 Holinshed refers to the hymn not as 'Non Nobis' but by the title of Psalm 114 , 'In exitu Israel de Aegypto' ('When Israel came out of Egypt').4 The miraculous military victory commemorated in the 'Non Nobis' is the core event of salvation in the Bible, the model of all of God's interventions in human history.

IN EXITU ISRAEL 1. In exitu Israel de Aegypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro: 2. Facta est Judaea sanctificatio ejus: Israel potestas ejus. 3. Mare vidit, et fugit: Jordanis conversus est retrorsum. 4. Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes: et colles sicut agni ovium. 5. Quid est tibi mare quod fugisti? Et tu Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum? 6. Montes exsultastis sicut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium? 7. A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob: 8. Qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum. 9. Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam. 10.

PREFACE. ThE first edition of The Psalter Noted was published in 1849 under the supervision of the late Rev. Thomas Helmore, and secured for the Gregorian Tones a general recognition of their appropriateness for Divine worship. Subsequently Mr. Helmore's scheme was enlarged by the issue of The Canticles Noted, of A Brief Directory, and of three Appendixes to the Psalter; and the whole collection was issued in one volume under the title of A Manual of Plainsong. The Manual had also two companion books, one of Words only containing The Canticles and Psalter Accented, the other a collection of Accompanying Harmonies. Thus complete provision was made for the musical performance of the regular services of the Prayer Book. Practical objections, however, to the monotony of the recitation of several Psalms to one Tone without the relief of Antiphons, added to certain difficulties in the pointing, led to the issue of other Psalters which have competed with The Psalter Noted, but without obtaining, any of them, a marked supremacy ; and nothing has been issued which covers the whole field so completely as Mr.

  • PHILIP VAN WILDER, HENRY VIII's LOST COMPOSER
    P PHILIP VAN WILDER, HENRY VIII’s LOST COMPOSER by David Allinson Lutenist, composer and courtier Philip van Wilder may be the most significant ‘lost composer’ of sixteenth-century England. Joseph Kerman called him ‘the most important of several foreign musicians active at the court of Henry VIII of England’,1 yet today his name is known only to specialist musicologists and his music is seldom performed. For anyone interested in Tudor music, van Wilder is a fascinating ‘bridging’ figure who helps to make sense of the dramatic changes in musical style between the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I: he may well have spurred Tallis to experiment with a freer harmonic and imitative idiom; he shaped the Anglican anthem; he directly inspired Byrd. From around 1520 this ‘lewter’ and ‘mynstrell’ from the Low Countries rose to become, for the best part of three decades, the most prominent and richly rewarded professional musician at the English court. His surviving music testifies to a substantial and original compositional talent. More than that: van Wilder’s motets, chansons and anthems shed vivid light on the development of English music in the decades before, during and after the Reformation. Schooled in the soundworld of Netherlandish (and more specifically, Burgundian) music and fluent in its technicalities, van Wilder was certainly open to conservative English traditions: in Sancte Deus 6]he is found embracing both the spirit and the letter of the pre-Reformation English votive antiphon genre, matching every melisma and false relation of the master, Tallis 5. More significantly in this process of cultural exchange, the cream of London’s composers – relatively isolated from the latest continental fashions – were able to draw directly upon this resident representative of Franco-Flemish practices to transform their own music.

Shakespeare's H enriadic Monarchy and ChaucerianlElizabethan Religion Paul A. Olson Shakespeare, interpreting late medieval English history from the ages of Geoffrey and Thomas Chaucer, gives us a second tetralogy (1595-99) that less defends the "Tudor myth" than creates a lens for viewing the formation of a unitary religious/political culture. Writing near the end of Elizabeth's reign, after serious Catholic insurrection had quieted, he examines how Act of Supremacy sacerdotal monarchy eschew rebellion and decadence, creat­ ing eidola paralleling Chaucer s Canterbury Tales ones. ill the latter, Chaucer presented, to the court narratives of Catholic clerical failure Jovinian deca­ dence and th po Ibility of reformed penance. However Sbakespeare tw-ns, for his salvific, from honest penance-Chaucer's solution-to royal contri­ tion and honest action. The second Henriad debunks old polarities of con­ formity and non-confomuty by celebrating the monarch's sen e of nationa.l religion and recapitulating unifying themes about celibacy, repentance and rebellion from the age of Chaucer, bringing Elizabethan religious polemics to the stage in a fashion that emulates Chaucer's dramatic court readings in his time and place.
