THE COLLECT OF THE DAY
Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Purify our conscience, Almighty God, by your daily visitation, that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming, may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
THE FIRST READING Micah 5:2-5a
You, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has brought forth; then the rest of his kindred shall return to the people of Israel. And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; and he shall be the one of peace.
Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
All remain seated for the psalm. The refrain is intoned, then repeated by the congregation and sung as indicated.
PSALM 80: 1-7, 16-18
Plainsong, Mode I
Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock; * shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim. In the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, * stir up your strength and come to help us. Refrain
O Lord God of hosts, * how long will you be angered despite the prayers of your people? You have fed them with the bread of tears; * you have given them bowls of tears to drink. You have made us the derision of our neighbors, * and our enemies laugh us to scorn. Refrain
Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, * the son of man you have made so strong for yourself. And so will we never turn away from you; * give us life, that we may call upon your Name. Refrain
When Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, ‘See, God, I have come to do your will, O God’ (in the scroll of the book it is written of me).” When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), then he added, “See, I have come to do your will.” He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. And it is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

V. Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord;* let it be to me according to your word.
GOSPEL Luke 1:39-55
Deacon The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.” And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”
Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ.

AT THE OFFERTORY, ANTHEM
Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706)
Magnificat anima mea Dominum: Et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae: ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: et sanctum nomen ejus.
Et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo: dispersit superbus mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis: et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae.
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini ejus in saecula. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold from hence forth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done great things for me; and holy is his name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations.
He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and hath exalted humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy.
As he spake to our forefathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. 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.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name.

POSTLUDE Fugue on the Magnificat
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
The greens at today’s worship service are made possible in part through the Kurt Weyrauch Memorial Flower Fund.
Please refrain from applause at the end of the postlude, to respect the devotional practices of others.
A brief service of prayer with laying on of hands for healing follows this service, at the votive icon.
About the music at today’s service
The year 1685 was a remarkable one for music. J.S. Bach, Handel and Domenico Scarlatti were all born within twelve months of one other and each was to influence the art of European music. Bach’s reputation relates to his role as a Lutheran composer and organist, while Handel traveled widely, finally settling in England as London’s premier purveyor of baroque opera and oratorio. Domenico Scarlatti is still best known as a brilliant keyboard composer and player. Many of his 550 keyboard sonatas (Essercizi) are still performed and admired for their technical inventiveness and brilliance. Scarlatti also wrote a considerable number of other works however –operas, oratorios and many smaller pieces which are rarely heard today.
Domenico Scarlatti inherited his musical gifts from his father Alessandro, who was important in the development of Italian opera in the generation after Monteverdi. Although biographical detail is scarce, it seems that the relationship between father and son was somewhat akin to that between Leopold and Wolfgang Mozart. In both families, the father was a forceful and sometimes repressive influence. Domenico, like the young Mozart, secured his first appointment within the same musical establishment as his father. This was in 1701, as composer and organist to the royal chapel in Naples. He was then sixteen. Alessandro was always anxious to see his son’s career develop, and soon directed him to travel to Venice in the hope of securing a position there. The tone of his father’s letter of recommendation to the wealthy Medici family is revealing.
“I have forcibly removed him from Naples where, though there was scope for his talent, it was not the talent for such a place. I am removing him from Rome as well, because Rome has no shelter for music, and he lives there as a beggar. This son of mine is an eagle whose wings are grown; he must not remain idle in the nest, and I must not hinder his flight...”
In spite of these remarks, Domenico found his first employment in Rome before being appointed Court Harpsichordist to the King of Portugal and teacher of Princess Maria Barbara. When she married the King of Spain in 1729, Scarlatti moved on with her and remained in Madrid for the rest of his life.
The Missa Breve ‘La Stella’ is a compact setting for soloists and chorus with organ continuo. Because no autograph exists, as with many of Scarlatti’s works, the score cannot be accurately dated. However the mass is likely to have been composed during his early years in Italy and this may account for its mixture of styles. While the Sanctus and Agnus Dei are both composed in the stile antico, or “old style,” the Gloria is in the more modern stile concertato. The principal structural feature of the stile concertato is contrast between passages for solo voice or voices and tutti, just as in the instrumental concerto of the period.
Alessandro Scarlatti’s motet Beata Mater is typical of his works in the “old style,” the style of Palestrina and other late Renaissance composers. Rather than adhering strictly to the style of Palestrina, it is the style of Palestrina seen through eighteenth-century glasses.
Although principally known for his organ and keyboard works, Johann Pachelbel was a prolific composer of vocal, church and chamber music. He was also one of the leading progressive German composers of his time. All but two of his Magnificat settings are in the concertato style, and are wildly different from each other in that they share no formal design, and break away from the tradition of having the verses of text dictate the musical form. Yet in the Magnificat in D Major heard this morning, Pachelbel seems to be looking backwards. This Magnificat is in the style of an unaccompanied Motet, where each verse of text receives its own musical treatment, and although mostly written in four part homophony, it does contain passages of imitation and fugal
like writing. The Gregorian chant psalm tone on which this Magnificat is based is heard in long notes in the soprano part in one verse.
