From the Chair

I hope that you have had a chance

to read this month’s “Diolog” glossy magazine from the Diocesan Center’s Communications Office. It is an issue devoted to music, and it features many of the very talented musicians and music ministries of our diocese, as well as some very intriguing people of the larger Church. When I called to congratulate Carol Barnwell on the excellent coverage, she told me of many new features that are available to do more extensive coverage of news stories, including recordings and videos. In planning the issue, Carol communicated her need for stories through the weekly e-newsletter.

Here’s a message from Carol: Carol Barnwell requested stories and ideas for stories 9 months or so ago for the music issue through our diocesan e-news. Staff of diocesan congregations should be getting and at least scanning this weekly to help us all network and be responsive to one another’s ideas and needs. The link is here: http://tinyurl.com/3rjmcoq The road for information and ideas is two way and we are delighted to have everyone’s ideas for future issues of Diolog. Please contact Carol Barnwell at cbarnwell@epicenter.org with any comments. If you’re not subscribing to it, I recommend that you do! It’s the best way to hear news weekly between the magazine mailings. We have a huge diocese, both geographically and in number of parishes. We would love to highlight your music ministries in the Spring issue—please send items to Bonnie

Harris-Reynolds at the address in the text box. I hope that we will be able to highlight even more musicians and ministries in the future. THE CHORAL FESTIVAL Our Diocesan Choral Festival in October will be wonderful this year--guest conductor Alan Raines’ selections of repertoire are some wonderful pieces that our choir in Brenham is enjoying. The pieces are useable and If you are not able to learn the music in sectionals, come to the Saturday rehearsal, where each piece will be covered in a sectional rehearsal with the Houston-area singers. On Sunday afternoon, the out-of-town choirs will join us at 3 PM for our full rehearsal. We will snack at 5:30 before vesting and singing in the 6 PM service. I look forward to hearing the large choir once again. “LITURGICAL MUSIC” I highly recommended Daw & Pavlechko’s Liturgical Music books, available for you to borrow from the DIocesan Libraries. They have hymn suggestions for the church year which are listed under the lesson that each hymn ties to, and information about where it is best used in the service. On the facing page, anthems and solos for the particular Sunday are listed. A feature that I like is the inclusion of all Church Publishing hymnals, including Wonder Love & Praise, Voices Found, My Heart Sings Out, etc., not just the Hymnal 1982.

LET US SERVE YOU Once again, please know that there are musicians available to answer your questions about finding a church musician, instruments and instrumental maintenance, choral music, new service music, how to plan the music for your services, and all kinds of other questions which may arise. I am looking at dates and locations for some regional trainings next year. Your input is welcome! DATES FOR NEXT YEAR Please mark your calendars!

DIOCESAN CHOIR CAMP 2013 It was a great celebration of the whole church year in one week! Our guest conductor for the camp was Garmon Ashby, who serves as Fine Arts Chair at Episcopal High School, Houston and as Music Director at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Nassau Bay. We were delighted to have such an interesting, fun, flexible and knowledgeable conductor, and his music choices for the week included music for Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Easter and Pentecost. In addition, he taught us music from his native South Africa, which became some of our favorites. Garmon was able to challenge

veteran choir members and engage those new to camp and singing. Our Closing Service at St. Peter’s spanned the church year with hymns and anthems. Jackson Hearn was our delightful accompanist again this year. Art lessons with Sara Parker, pottery lessons with Doug Peck and annual traditions like Live Clue Night, Water Day at St. Peter’s and the popular trip to Horseshoe Junction Fun Park filled our schedule. As you can tell by the photos of the fun

activities, we had lots of fun! We did an outreach project to the Chapel Service at Kruse Memorial Lutheran Village, where our performance was well-received. Campers in rising grades 4-8 (grade 3 with director’s recommendation) are invited to join the fun next summer, July 6-12, 2014.

Reflections on the 2013 AAM Conference Denver, held June 30th – July 4th – Association of Anglican Musicians – by Jerome Wells I have been attending AAM conferences regularly since 1995, and indeed the 2013 Denver Conference ranks overall as one of the best. Sunday evening offered Choral Evensong at St. John’s Cathedral with the Cathedral Choir singing works of Stanford, Willcocks, Howells, C.H.H. Parry, and Stephen Tappe, Organist and Director of Music at the Cathedral. Opening Eucharist on Monday morning commemorated the life and work of Harriet Beecher Stowe. The closing hymn was “Still, Still with Thee,” one of Stowe’s texts set to a lovely tune drawn from Mendelssohn’s “Songs without Words.” It is found in some American hymnals. This service was our first opportunity to hear The Rev. Barbara Crafton, Conference

Preacher, whose brilliantly crafted sermons kept our attention throughout the week. Monday evening we heard St. Martin’s Chamber Choir, Colorado’s first year-round, professional choral ensemble. Of note was the “Crucifixus pro nobis” of Kenneth Leighton, concluding with an exquisite setting of “Drop, drop, slow tears.” Tuesday morning we ventured to Colorado Springs US Air Force Academy. A striking feature of the Protestant Chapel is the front and center, hanging silver cross, whose arms depict “wings” for the flying motif. Rev. Crafton’s words “God uses us just as we are, and often in spite of what we are” were just one gem of her sermon. The evening concert by Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble included traditional choral

works and new innovative ones as well, all sung superbly. Wednesday included a Carillon Concert followed by The Denver Brass & Organ in concert, and worship at Christ Church. All were rewarded by a free evening in Denver on your own! Thursday provided an extensive anthem reading session in the morning as well as Professional Concerns and Development sessions. Highlight of the day was the Closing Eucharist at St. John’s Cathedral, followed by the Closing Banquet at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, where we were allowed access to several exhibits. Finally, the Denver folks gave us a generous amount of good food and wine throughout the week!

The Leadership Program for Musicians (LPM) OPEN HOUSE - SEPTEMBER 14! The Leadership Program for Musicians is a teaching ministry that gives church musicians an increased sense of vocational awareness, along with the tools and resources to enable congregations to sing well and participate actively in worship. The Leadership Program for Musicians is a national organization who administers a curriculum covering key areas in church music and liturgical education as well as spiritual formation. LPM is a program of the Episcopal Church USA and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. LPM is taught by highly qualified teachers and tailored to local needs. Successful completion of all courses earns the LPM Certificate in Church Music. The program is taught locally and covers a full range of church music skills. Particular attention is paid to smaller church needs. LPM is a two-year program with seven courses, which may be taken in whole or part, beginning any year: Leadership of Congregational Song (piano/organ/keyboard, voice/ cantor, or guitar/other instruments), Teaching New Music to the Congregation, Survey of Christian Hymnody, Liturgy

and Liturgical Planning: Foundations for Christian Worship, Resources for an Effective Music Program, Principles for Choral Leadership: Conducting for Church Musicians and Voice Training for Choirs, and Philosophy of Church Music. Classes typically meet one Saturday a month September through May. LPM 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 in Texas will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church of Frelsburg, 2309 FM 1291, New Ulm, Texas 78950, in the triangle formed by Columbus, La Grange, and Brenham, just off the intersection of FM 109 and FM 1291, next to the Frelsburg Fire Department. Open House for anyone who is interested is scheduled on Saturday, September 14, 2013, 9:15-3:30, at Trinity Lutheran Church of Frelsburg. This coincides with the first session of classes for those taking the course. For more information, a hard-copy brochure, or to RSVP for the Open House, contact Marsha Seale, Texas-Louisiana LPM Coordinator, 713-562-6972, mkseale52@msn.com. The national website, including the TX-LA brochure, is www. lpm-online.org.

Mass for St. David’s Dear Friend and Fellow Musician! A very important event is nearing in my life and I would like for you to consider taking part. Some may know that I have a Bachelor and Master of Music in Composition and Theory. After writing my Master’s thesis, I decided that I much favored making music with people (conducting, singing, etc.) over spending alone time at the “composition table.” I realized that my degree was a great thing, but maybe not my compositional abilities! I have been at St. David’s Church since August 1, 1990 and was privileged to aid a fellow musician in the composition of two mass settings. As the Hymnal 1982 has aged, I have sought service music for the congregations at St. David’s that is both fresh and devotional. I, also, began wanting to express my love, appreciation and experience with those congregations by writing something for our public worshipsomething, too, that might be dessiminated to other liturgical churches for their liturgies. The process of writing this service music has been long in gestation. In Eastertide 2012 we began singing two of the pieces-a Pascha nostrum and an Alleluia tract. In this past Eastertide we sang those two short movements, along with a Sanctus and a setting of the Lord’s Prayer. I have been very happy with the music and with how it has been received these past two Eastertide seasons.

* The National Gallery of Art will be the setting for a concert by the Cathedral Choir * Closing Banquet at the National Press Club * Key Bridge Marriott will be the Conference hotel (a metro stop is there; a quick walk to Georgetown) w/ an inside and outside pool!

By David Stevens I am nearing 25 years at St. David’s and I am happy to announce that the Mass for St. David’s is complete and I would like to invite you to its premiere. We will offer a celebratory Eucharist on Saturday, September 14th and will also be celebrating on that day the Feast of the Holy Cross or Holy Cross Day. Please, consider coming to the festivities for that day. Schedule (September 14): Potluck in Sumners Hall 12:30 am 1:30 pm-2:30 pm

“Congregational Choir practice” The participating choirs, the congregants at St. David’s and musical guests are invited to come to completely learn the Mass setting, so everyone can participate fully in the Eucharist that follows.

2:30 pm

Coffee break

3 pm

Festive Eucharist for Holy Cross Day with the Mass for St. David’s as the service music.

Note: The Mass will be rehearsed in full one other time before September 14on Wednesday, September 11. This rehearsal will feature all choirs, handbells and trumpets and will take place from 7 pm - 9:30 pm in the historic church at St. David’s. You are more than welcome to come. Please, let me know if you would like to be a part of the choir which will lead from the front of the church. I do think there will be vigorous singing and participating from within the congregation, if you choose to come but not sing in the massed choir. If you can’t attend this day, know that the mass setting will be used throughout the Fall until the beginning of Advent. I would love for you to come to a Sunday morning service anytime in that period to experience the mass. This music is so very important to me. It reflects my love and experience with the people of St. David’s. They are loving, spiritual, forgiving, smart, quirky, creative and much more. I am glad to be able to express my love for them in the music and I hope that this music will aid St. David’s, and possibly other congregations, in their love and adoration of God. I hope you can come for the fun and celebration! Yours with appreciation and love, David Stevens PS: My new email address is davidtenor1@gmail.com 512-496-1897

Musicians Sharpen Skills at Sewanee Conference by Mike Mason At the 63rd annual Sewanee Church Music Conference, faculty member Richard Webster worked with boy and girl choristers from St. George’s Church, Nashville, for a workshop he called “The Joy of Doing Real Music with Children.” Webster, director of music and organist at Boston’s Trinity Church, Copley Square, demonstrated rehearsal techniques that allow children to achieve results that are often surprising to adults, he said. “He was exposing them to the great pieces of the repertoire,” said Robert Delcamp, organist and choirmaster at the University of the South and director of the conference. Among those works: The Short Service by Orlando Gibbons, Like as the Hart by Herbert Howells, and The Preces and Responses by William Smith. For the best results, Webster recommended having boys and girls

choirs sing separately. Unlike at many churches, at Trinity Church he has more boys singing than girls, he said. Conference veteran Richard Moore offered two workshops on computer programs especially geared toward the work of church musicians. Susan Rupert’s Episcopal Basics class included sessions on Singing the Altar Book and Liturgical Planning. Maxine Thévenot and Edmund Connolly of the Cathedral Church of St. John in Albuquerque performed the conference’s annual Gerre Hancock Concert. Thévenot taught a class on Hymn-playing and a master organ class. Connolly’s classes on vocal techniques were further integrated into rehearsals during the conference. The Rev. Barbara Cawthorne Crafton returned as chaplain. In one homily,

she used a choir as an image of the world in its blend, ensemble, unity, and harmony. Faculty of the 2014 conference, scheduled for July 14-20, will include the Rt. Rev. J. Neil Alexander, dean of Sewanee’s School of Theology; Peter Conte; and Todd Wilson, who will become the director of the conference in 2015, its 65th anniversary. Each year a new piece of music is commissioned for the conference, alternating choral and organ pieces. This year it was Variations sur Ubi Caritas by Canadian organist Denis Bédard. The purpose of the commissions is to provide new works for the musicians to take back to their churches. The pieces are intended to be accessible for musicians at small-to medium-sized churches.
