FALL CHORAL FESTIVAL 2014 “STANFORD, HOWELLS AND VAUGHAN WILLIAMS”

CHORAL EVENSONG Saturday, October 4th, 2014 + 4:00 p. m.

A note from Ashley Sosis Music Director, Trinity Church Trinity Church is honored to continue the popular Regional Choral Workshop that has been hosted by St. John’s Church in Florence, SC since 2004. We thank Tammy Williams and the Staff at St. John’s for their insight and hard work on the program over the years. This year’s theme reflects somewhat on how I met our Clinician, one of my favorite college professors, Dr. Matt Hoch. Our featured composers C. V. Stanford, Herbert Howells, and Ralph Vaughan Williams influenced each other as professors and students at the University of Cambridge and the Royal College of Music in London and in turn made an indelible mark on Anglican church music. Charles Wood, the composer of tonight’s setting of the phos hilaron, was also connected to the three composers, both as teacher and student.

The 2014 Clinician Dr. Matthew Hoch Dr. Matthew Hoch is currently Choirmaster and Minister of Music at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Auburn, Alabama, as well as Assistant Professor of Voice at Auburn University. Until recently, he served as Choirmaster and Director of Music at St Peter’s Episcopal Church in Rome, Georgia, as well as Assistant Professor of Voice and Coordinator of Vocal Studies at Shorter College. From 2003–2005, Dr. Hoch held the position of baritone soloist and section leader at Trinity Church on Copley Square in Boston. His second book, Welcome to Church Music and The Hymnal 1982, will be released in 2015 by Morehouse/Church Publishing.

Deeply devoted to choral music, Dr. Hoch has performed and recorded extensively as a professional chorister. During his eight seasons at the Oregon Bach Festival (2005–2012), he performed over forty different major works under the batons of Helmuth Rilling and other major conductors, including a complete recording of Haydn’s late mass cycle for the Hännsler Classics label. In 2008, Dr. Hoch recorded Kile Smith’s Vespers for Navona Records with The Crossing, a Philadelphia-based new music ensemble under the direction of Donald Nally. As a member of the 2001 Coro di Festival dei due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy, he recorded Gian Carlo Menotti’s The Saint of Bleecker Street and Canatas under the baton of Richard Hickox for the Chandos label. Other professional choral engagements include six Carnegie Hall Choral Workshops, two seasons with the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, and performances with the Handel and Haydn Society, Conspirare, the Minnesota Chorale, the Alchemy Project, Connecticut Choral Artists (CONCORA), the Vox Consort, the Woodland Scholars, and the Cayuga Vocal Ensemble.

Dr. Hoch holds the BM (summa cum laude) from Ithaca College with a triple major in vocal performance, music education, and music theory; the MM from The Hartt School with a double major in vocal performance and music history; and the DMA from the New England Conservatory in vocal performance and literature. He lives in Auburn, Alabama, with his wife, Theresa, and three children: Hannah, Sofie, and Zachary.

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous, For it becometh well the just to be thankful.

Praise the Lord with a harp.

Sing unto the Lord a new song, Sing praises lustily unto him with good courage.

Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide.

+ PHOS HILARON

Hail, Gladdening Light

Hail, gladdening Light, of his pure glory poured Who is th’immortal Father, heav’nly blest, Holiest of Holies, Jesu Christ, our Lord.

Now we are come to the sun’s hour of rest, The lights of evening round us shine; We hymn the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit divine.

Worthiest art thou at all times, to be sung With undefiled tongue, Son of our God, Giver of life, alone!

Therefore in all the world thy glories, Lord, they own.

PSALTER

Psalm 33

Setting by: Herbert Howells Text: Myles Coverdale translation

Choir: 1

REJOICE in the LORD, O ye righteous; * for it becometh well the just to be thankful.

2

Praise the LORD with harp; * sing praises unto him with the lute, and instrument of ten strings.

3

Sing unto the LORD a new song; * sing praises lustily unto him with a good courage.

4

For the word of the LORD is true; * and all his works are faithful.

5

He loveth righteousness and judgment; * the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.

6

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; * and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

7

He gathereth the waters of the sea together, as it were upon an heap; * and layeth up the deep, as in a treasure-house.

8

Let all the earth fear the LORD: * stand in awe of him, all ye that dwell in the world.

9

For he spake, and it was done; * he commanded, and it stood fast.

10

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought, * and maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and casteth out the counsels of princes.

11

The counsel of the LORD shall endure for ever, * and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.

ď‚—5

12

Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord JEHOVAH; * and blessed are the folk that he hath chosen to him, to be his inheritance.

13

The LORD looketh down from heaven, and beholdeth all the children of men; * from the habitation of his dwelling, he considereth all them that dwell on the earth.

14

He fashioneth all the hearts of them, * and understandeth all their works.

15

There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of an host; * neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.

16

A horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man; * neither shall he deliver any man by his great strength.

17

Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, * and upon them that put their trust in his mercy;

18

To deliver their soul from death, * and to feed them in the time of dearth.

19

Our soul hath patiently tarried for the LORD; * for he is our help and our shield.

20

For our heart shall rejoice in him; * because we have hoped in his holy Name.

21

Let thy merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, * like as we do put our trust in thee.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: * As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Lessons

LESSON 1

Hosea 11:1-9, ESV

When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. The more they were called, the more they went away; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols. Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them. I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them. They shall not return to the land of Egypt, but Assyria shall be their king, because they have refused to return to me. The sword shall rage against their cities, consume the bars of their gates, and devour them because of their own counsels. My people are bent on turning away from me, and though they call out to the Most High, he shall not raise them up at all. How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I hand you over, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart recoils within me; my compassion grows warm and tender. I will not execute my burning anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God and not a man, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in wrath.

Here endeth the Lesson.

MAGNIFICAT

from Service in C By: Charles Villiers Stanford

My soul doth magnify the Lord: And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.

For behold, from hence-forth: all generations shall call me blessed.

For he that is mighty hath magnified me: And holy is his Name.

And his mercy is on them that fear him: throughout all generations.

He hath shewed strength with his arm: He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat: And hath exalted the humble and meek.

He hath filled the hungry with good things, And the rich he has sent empty away.

He rememb’ring his mercy Hath holpen his servant Israel: As he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, forever.

Glory be to the Father, And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: World without end. Amen.

LESSON 2

Acts 22:17-29

“When I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying in the temple, I fell into a trance and saw him saying to me, ‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.’ And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you.

And when the blood of Stephen your witness was being shed, I myself was standing by and approving and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’ And he said to me, ‘Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’” Up to this word they listened to him. Then they raised their voices and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live.” And as they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, the tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, saying that he should be examined by flogging, to find out why they were shouting against him like this. But when they had stretched him out for the whips, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it lawful for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?” When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and said to him, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.” So the tribune came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” And he said, “Yes.” The tribune answered, “I bought this citizenship for a large sum.” Paul said, “But I am a citizen by birth.” So those who were about to examine him withdrew from him immediately, and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had bound him.

Here endeth the Lesson.

NUNC DIMITTIS (Song of Simeon)

from Service in C By: Charles Villiers Stanford

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace: According to thy word.

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people; To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: And to be the glory of thy people Israel.

Glory be to the Father, And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: World without end. Amen.

GOSPEL

Luke 6:27-38

“But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them. “If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Here endeth the Lesson.

HOMILY

The Rev. Dr. Donnie McDaniel, Associate Rector

+ APOSTLES’ CREED

Book of Common Prayer p. 66

Chanted by the Officiant and people together on one tone, all standing.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.

He descended into hell.

The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty.

From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

COLLECTS O God, whose blessed Son became poor that we through his poverty might be rich: Deliver us, we pray thee from an inordinate love of this world, that, inspired by the devotion of thy servant St. Francis of Assisi, we may serve thee with singleness of heart, and attain to the riches of the age to come; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

O God, the source of eternal light: Shed forth thine unending day upon us who watch for thee, that our lips may praise thee, our lives may bless thee, and our worship on the morrow may give thee glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O God, who dost manifest in thy servants the signs of thy presence: Send forth upon us the Spirit of love, that in companionship with one another thine abounding gracy may increase among us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

ANTHEM

No. 3 Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks from Four Anthems for Chorus and Organ By: Charles Villiers Stanford

Choir: Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks, so longeth my soul after thee, O God. My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the living God. When shall I come to appear before the presence of God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they daily say unto me, “Where, where is now thy God?”

14

THE GENERAL THANKSGIVING Officiant and people Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all men.

We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.

And, we beseech thee, give us what due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful; and that we show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen

PRAYER OF ST. CHRYSOSTOM Chanted by Officiant alone.

Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication unto thee, and hast promised through thy well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name thou wilt be in the midst of them; Fulfill now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
