    7'aken at his Highland hi.me, Alt-ra-Craig, Olan THE LIFE OF PROFESSOR joe mm THE MOST DISTINGUISHED SCOTSMAN OP THE DAT BY VARIOUS EMINENT WRITERS.. EDITED BY REV. JOHN G* DUNCAN, SPR1NGBURN. JOHN J. RAE, 127 STOCKWEU, STREET UA 031 b PREFACE. THIS book is not intended to be a full and continuous biography of the late Professor John. Stuart Blackie. So serious a work as that de- mands the services of one who, admitted to a closer friendship than I can claim, has also a greater literary power. I aim rather at giving the impressions left on my own mind and the minds of others, by a study of the life and work,, the sayings and sermons, the songs and lectures, the literary and other achievements of the late Professor. This volume is but a humble attempt to a to estimate give popular sketch of the man ; as far as possible the value of his contributions to life to contemporary thought and ; present within brief limits a picture of what he was and what he has done. To relate the story of the origin of this book and how I have been led to undertake the work of its Editor, would be an apology to myself rather than to the public ; but I may say that the task was not sought by, but was offered to^ me. At the time of the Professor's death I tried! in a sermon to point the lessons and the signifi- 959G34 cance of his life. Much of this sermon is included in the introductory chapter, and with slight alterations, is printed as it was delivered.

  • The Crucifixion: Stainer's Invention of the Anglican Passion
    The Crucifixion: Stainer’s Invention of the Anglican Passion and Its Subsequent Influence on Descendent Works by Maunder, Somervell, Wood, and Thiman Matthew Hoch Abstract The Anglican Passion is a largely forgotten genre that flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Modeled distinctly after the Lutheran Passion— particularly in its use of congregational hymns that punctuate and comment upon the drama—Anglican Passions also owe much to the rise of hymnody and small parish music-making in England during the latter part of the nineteenth century. John Stainer’s The Crucifixion (1887) is a quintessential example of the genre and the Anglican Passion that is most often performed and recorded. This article traces the origins of the genre and explores lesser-known early twentieth-century Anglican Passions that are direct descendants of Stainer’s work. Four works in particular will be reviewed within this historical context: John Henry Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary (1904), Arthur Somervell’s The Passion of Christ (1914), Charles Wood’s The Passion of Our Lord according to St Mark (1920), and Eric Thiman’s The Last Supper (1930). Examining these works in a sequential order reveals a distinct evolution and decline of the genre over the course of these decades, with Wood’s masterpiece standing as the towering achievement of the Anglican Passion genre in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The article concludes with a call for reappraisal of these underperformed works and their potential use in modern liturgical worship. A Brief History of the Passion Genre from the sung in plainchant, and this practice continued Medieval Era to the Eighteenth Century through the late medieval and early Renaissance eras.

  • Interpreting John Stainer's “Crucifixion”
    T A Composer at the Cross: Interpreting John Stainer’s “Crucifixion” Louise Joy Lawrence Introduction T Few could hear John 3:16–17 in quite the same way after witnessing Sir John Stainer’s 1887 setting of it.2 This Victorian composer’s oratorio The Crucifixion, of which God so Loved the World is the centrepiece, is largely based on a synthesis of the gospel accounts of the passion. These are interspersed by chorales and hymns devised by the librettist Rev. William Sparrow-Simpson. This oratorio has single-handedly kept Stainer’s legacy flourishing today. Its dramatic, meditative and memorable choruses have endeared it to many churches’ celebrations of Holy Week and instituted it as one of the most widely sung Passion oratorios in Britain. Stainer’s Crucifixion however, has not always enjoyed universal appeal. It was severely derided by some quarters in his own time. The libretto especially fuelled vehement criticism from those who found Sparrow-Simpson’s words too evocative of the liturgical styles of his time. The relative simplicity of Stainer’s score likewise came in for a measure of elitist condemnation, being variously described as ‘vulgar’ and ‘theatrical’3. If ‘vulgarity’ however, is the fiercest charge to be brought against the work, it is ‘vulgar’ in the best sense of the term4. Vulgar at base denotes association with the common people. If Stainer’s oratorio achieves anything, it fosters communion between participants, functions as a tool for worshipping God and is accessible to amateur singers in common parish choirs and congregations. The present discussion will seek to document the oratorio’s biblical antecedents.

  • Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church A TREATISE Submitted to the Faculty of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in Sacred Music © All Rights Reserved By Jennifer L. Seighman Washington, D.C. 2015 Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church Jennifer L. Seighman, D.M.A. Director: Leo Nestor, D.M.A. Choir schools have been an intrinsic part of the Catholic Church since the fourth century. While the Holy See has instructed that such schools and training be diligently promoted, few programs exist, and even less is known about them. This paper provides much-needed research on Catholic choir school programs and the benefits they offer to the twenty-first-century Church, particularly in bringing the musico-liturgical goals of the Second Vatican Council to fruition. Using a multi-case-study approach, I investigate the only known Catholic institutions in the United States currently employing a traditional choir school education of rigorous daily instruction in choir and sung liturgy: St. Paul’s Choir School (Cambridge, MA), The Madeleine Choir School (Salt Lake City, UT), and The Atonement Academy (San Antonio, TX). To formulate the framework for this study, a survey of related literature was made encompassing musico-liturgical directives of the Second Vatican Council, Church documents calling for chorister formation, papal writings, scholarly sources addressing sacred music within the Catholic Church, and various sets of education standards.
