The Fifth Sunday of Easter The Fifth Sunday of Easter THE HOLY EUCHARIST May 2, 2021, 11:00 AM The Church of Saint Mary the Virgin in the City of New York - 2 - About Saint Mary’s Saint Mary’s was founded in 1868 to be the Episcopal parish church for the new residential neighborhood, then called Longacre Square, here in midtown Manhattan. Though our efforts are hampered by the epidemic, our doors are now and have been open daily for welcome and worship since December 8, 1870. All are welcome. Our members and friends now live both near and far from Times Square. We invite you to join us. About the Music The setting of the Mass today is the Messe Premier Ton by Henri Dumont (1610–1684). Dumont was born in the Southern Netherlands, modern-day Belgium. As a child, Henri and his brother Lambert were choirboys at the Basilica of Our Lady in Maastricht. Henri was later named organist there and was eventually succeeded by his brother. In 1639, Henri moved to Paris to become organist of the parish of Saint Paul. Beginning in 1652 he was harpsichordist at the court of Phillipe I, Duke of Orléans. From that post he advanced to Master of the Chapelle Royale in Versailles in 1663 and, in 1893, Master of the Queen’s Music. He composed mostly religious music including nearly a hundred Petits Motets. His five plainsong Masses, known as Messes Royales, gained currency alongside the anonymous repertory of medieval plainsong Masses. The Gloria in excelsis, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei from Dumont’s plainsong Mass on the first tone will be sung as the ordinary today. In the collect appointed for the Fifth Sunday of Easter we pray to “so perfectly know Jesus to be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal life.” The beloved English priest and poet George Herbert (1593– 1633) offered his reflection and prayer to Jesus as the “Way, Truth, and Life” in “The Call” (The Temple, 1633). The more recent poet W. H. Auden (1907–1973) reflected rather differently on the “Way, the Truth, and the Life” in For the Time Being (“A Christmas Oratorio”), written in 1941 and 1942 while he was living in America. For the Time Being was to be the libretto for a major collaboration with composer Benjamin Britten (1913–1976) which was never completed. Auden’s He is the Way, an excerpt from For the Time Being, is sung this morning during the Communion by tenor, Christopher Howatt. The musical setting, found at #463 in The Hymnal 1982, is by David Hurd and was dedicated to the late Dr. Barbara Hall, sometime Professor of New Testament at The General Theological Seminary. The organ voluntaries this morning are two Praeludien, both in the key of G Major, by leading organ composers associated with German “High Baroque” period. The Prelude is by Nicolaus Bruhns who was born at Schwabstedt. Having received his early training from his father, a pupil of Franz Tunder (1614–1667) and organist in Husum, he went to Lübeck in 1681 to study with Tunder’s successor at the Marienkirche, Dieterich Buxtehude (1637– 1707). During his short life, Bruhns established for himself the reputations of a virtuoso of both keyboard and stringed instruments. He is said to have been skilled in playing trios with two voices on the violin and the third on the pedals of the organ. Bruhns’s five extant organ compositions are works of particular spontaneity and imagination. The Praeludium in - 3 - G is a particularly extroverted piece which features an unusual fugue of six-voices, two of which are played on the pedals. The postlude is by Buxtehude, who was Danish by birth, and is generally recognized as the most important organ composer in the generation before J. S. Bach. Most of Buxtehude’s organ works are thought to date from his earlier years at the Marienkirche in Lübeck, where he served as organist from 1668 until his death. Buxtehude’s Praeludium in G is one of his most restrained works in the genre. Rather than being cast in the usual multi-sectional format, this piece consists of two well-defined sections: a free opening section and a stately fugue with brief closing coda. About the Music ChrisHowatt has been a regular member of the Choir at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin for more than ten years and stepped into the role of Office Manager at the Church five years ago. Not only is he an actively performing singer in the realms of musical theatre and cabaret, but he was also a member of the Associate Chorus of the Metropolitan Opera for two seasons. He has been heard on recordings as diverse as Jessye Norman’s Christmas CD In the Spirit, to singing backup for The Pet Shop Boys on their cover of the Village People’s “Go West.” As an accompanist and music director he has worked with such talents as David Hyde Pierce, Howard McGillin, Tyne Daly, Rita Moreno, Brad Oscar and Cady Huffman and others. He has served as musical supervisor for productions of Sylvia, Lend Me a Tenor and Inspecting Carol at George Street Playhouse as well as musical director for their world premiere production of Come Back, Come Back, Wherever You Are, written and directed by the late theatrical legend Arthur Laurents. For several years he displayed both pianistic and vocal talents as music director/arranger and performer with the two- time MAC Award nominated vocal group Boulevard East, producing and recording their CD, Timeless, as well as performing with them in various cabaret venues. The Prelude Praeludium in G Nicolaus Bruhns (1665–1697) The service this morning is played by Dr. David Hurd, organist and music director of the Church of Saint Mary the Virgin.

The Entrance & Opening Acclamation All stand as the bell signals the entrance of the ministers of the assembly. The Celebrant goes to the Altar, and says Celebrant Alleluia. Christ is risen.

People Amen. - 5 - The Song of Praise The Cantor sings the song of praise, Gloria in excelsis Deo. The setting of the Mass ordinary is Messe Premier Ton by Henri Dumont (1610–1684). Gloria in excelsis Deo Glory be to God on high, et in terra pax and on earth peace hominibus bonae voluntatis. to those of good will. Laudamus te. Benedicimus te. We praise you. We bless you.

All AMEN. - 6 - The Lessons All are seated for the Lessons. The first Lesson, 1 John 3:18–24, is now read. After the Lesson, the Reader says The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. The Psalm The Congregation joins in saying Psalm 66:1–8. The Reader begins 1 Be joyful in God, all you lands; * All sing the glory of his Name; sing the glory of his praise. 2 Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! * because of your great strength your enemies cringe before you. 3 All the earth bows down before you, * sings to you, sings out your Name.” 4 Come now and see the works of God, * how wonderful he is in his doing toward all people.

  • A Monastic Influence on André Raison: an Interpretation of His Messe Du Premier Ton by Sarah Holland
    A Monastic Influence on André Raison: An Interpretation of his Messe du premier ton by Sarah Holland Submitted to the graduate degree program in Church Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Dr. Michael Bauer, Chairperson ________________________________ Dr. Kyle Camarda ________________________________ Dr. James Higdon ________________________________ Dr. Alicia Levin ________________________________ Dr. Forrest Pierce Date Defended: November 4, 2014 The Thesis Committee for Sarah Holland certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A MONASTIC INFLUENCE ON ANDRÉ RAISON: AN INTERPRETATION OF HIS MESSE DU PREMIER TON ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Michael Bauer Date approved: November 4, 2014 ii Abstract André Raison, a seventeenth century French Classical organist-composer, lived a life entirely devoted to the Catholic church. The primary purpose of this study is to point out the sacred characteristics found in Raison’s Messe du premier ton. This is accomplished through the study of chant and liturgy, culminating in an alternatim pairing of Raison’s Mass with Henri DuMont’s Messe du premier ton. Raison’s compositional style harkens back to Titelouze. He includes two pivotal moments that most composers of his time neglect (the Elevatio and Deo Gratias), showing his appreciation for the scope and breadth of the liturgy. The form and style of the music of Raison often runs parallel to the structure of the liturgy and provides a sense of fluidity to the liturgy. Finally, in contrast to some of his contemporaries, he remained true to the ecclesiastical modes.

  • The Third Sunday in Lent
    The Third Sunday in Lent THE HOLY EUCHARIST March 7, 2021, 11:00 AM The Church of Saint Mary the Virgin in the City of New York About the Music The organ prelude today is a setting of Von Gott will ich nicht lassen, BWV 658, one of the eighteen Leipzig Chorales of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750). The “Great Eighteen” were collected and published in the final decade of Bach’s life, and are considered to represent the summit of chorale-based Baroque organ composition. In this case, the chorale text, the first phrase of which is interpreted as “I shall not abandon God, for he does not abandon me,” is attributed to Ludwig Helmbold and dated 1563. Its melody, from an anonymous 1557 source, is set by Bach to be played on the organ pedals in the alto register surrounded by a gentle three-voice lace of manual accompaniment. The ending of this chorale prelude is notably prolonged, and with an additional voice added, as if to tone-paint a steadfast desire to remain and not leave. There are four additional four-voice harmonizations of this same chorale melody by Bach, only one of which has its source in one of his cantatas. Bach’s harmonization of Von Gott will ich nicht lassen—cataloged as BWV 418 and about which there is no further source data—is the postlude today. The setting of the Mass today is Messe du sixième ton by Henri Dumont (1610–1684). Dumont was born in Belgium. As a child, Henri and his brother Lambert were choirboys at the Basilica of Our Lady in Maastricht.
