Dock Anderson
Dock Anderson began his career as a performer at the age of two when he sang “Hey, Jude” at a church coffeehouse, standing on a chair in order to reach the microphone. He first played in church at age six, choosing “The sleeping turtle” as his first musical offering in worship. He began playing for weekly services at the age of eleven at his family’s church. Mr. Anderson earned a Bachelor of Music in organ performance, cum laude, from Birmingham-Southern College, where he studied organ with James Cook and James Dorroh, choral conducting under Hugh Thomas and Tom Gibbs, piano with Alison Lee, bassoon with Jack Sharp, voice with Jane Glaser, and composition with Charles Mason. He won first prize in numerous organ playing competitions including the Atlanta Music Club Competition, the Birmingham Music Club Competition, the Minne McNeil Carr Organ Playing Competition, the Alabama Wurlitzer Competition, and was first alternate in the Scarritt National Organ Playing Competition, making him the first organ student in the history of BirminghamSouthern to place in a national competition. At the University of Southern California in Los Angeles he studied conducting with Rodney Eichenberger and organ with Cherry Rhodes. 1
For thirteen years, Mr. Anderson was the choral director at Woodward Academy in College Park, the largest private school in the continental United States. During his tenure the choral program garnered international acclaim during seven concert tours with performances throughout western and central Europe. His choirs performed for the Georgia Music Educators annual convention and he served as accompanist for All-State Chorus for many years. He maintains an active private studio teaching piano, organ, and voice lessons. He also sings with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus and Chamber Chorus and is the accompanist for voice classes offered by the chorus to its members. He has accompanied the chorus in rehearsals under the direction of Norman McKenzie and guest conductor Roberto Abbado. He is in demand as a clinician and enjoys working as a choral consultant with beginning teachers. He serves as Organist-Choirmaster at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Carrollton. The Evensong Recital Series is given by Delbert Lowell Jacks in memory of Thomas Ruben Jones.
Evensong for The Feast of Lancelot Andrewes The Reverend Canon George M. Maxwell, Jr., Officiant & Preacher The Cathedral Choir Solemn Evensong (sung Evening Prayer) is one of the jewels of the Anglican tradition. Most of the service is sung, often by the choir alone; and a sermon is always offered. At the formal close of Evensong itself, a traditional “liturgy of the table” is offered for those seeking afternoon communion (Eucharist). Occasionally, a classically sung Eucharist, or a diocesan confirmation, or a special sung service of prayer, takes the place of Evensong. Evensong and Eucharist are scheduled from September through May of each year. All stand for

The Gradual: Psalm 63:1-8
Anglican chant: Ivor Algernon Atkins (1689-1953) BCP, p. 670
O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; * my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you, as in a barren and dry land where there is no water. Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place, * that I might behold your power and your glory. For your loving-kindness is better than life itself; * my lips shall give you praise. So will I bless you as long as I live * and lift up my hands in your Name. My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness, * and my mouth praises you with joyful lips, When I remember you upon my bed, * and meditate on you in the night watches. For you have been my helper, * and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice. My soul clings to you; * your right hand holds me fast. 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.
The Lessons The First Lesson Lector
1 Timothy 2:1-7 A Lesson from The First Letter of Paul to Timothy.
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, who gave himself a ransom for all —this was attested at the right time. For this I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. Lector

The Magnificat
music: Herbert Howells (1892-1983), St. Paul’s Cathedral words: Luke 1:46-55; & Gloria Patri
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold from henceforth 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 showed 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 hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and 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. All sit for

Luke 11:1-4
A Lesson from The Gospel of Luke.
Jesus was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time of trial.” Lector

The Apostles’ Creed 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.
