21 September - 19th Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 20

Here are my music lists, as usual.

Service #1: St. Joseph's Episcopal Church where I played my usual 10.30 am service. As usual, numbers are out of The Hymnal 1982.

The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist: Rite II
Prelude: Grave from Voluntary VIII in C Major (from Fugues and Voluntaries (12) for organ or harpsichord; attr. G. F. Handel)
Pro: 522, Glorious things of thee are spoken (AUSTRIA)
Song of Praise: S-236 (Benedictus es, Domine; J. Rutter)
Psalm: Psalm 105 (Guimont)
Seq: 617, Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round (SONG 1)
Off: 9, Not here for high and holy things (MORNING SONG)
Sanctus: S-125, Community Mass (Proulx)
Lord's Prayer: chanted (S-119 in Hymnal 1982)
Fraction Anthem: S-167, The disciples knew the Lord Jesus (M. Martens; Mode 6)
Comm: WLP 761, All who hunger gather gladly (HOLY MANNA)*
Re: 541, Come, labor on (ORA LABORA)
Postlude: Allegro from Voluntary VIII in C Major (from Fugues and Voluntaries (12) for organ or harpsichord; attr. Handel)

* Well call this a happy accident. In my fit of unpreparedness, I did not pay attention to the version of this hymn that was actually in Wonder, Love, and Praise. So I (mistakenly) thought it was the version as found in Gather Comprehensive. Boy am I glad I was wrong. The version in WLP is ever so much easier to sing (and play!) than the ... version ... found in Gather.

Service #2: Episcopal Centre at Duke University.

The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist: Rite II
Prelude: Prelude in C Major (BWV 846a, J. S. Bach)
Pro: 522, Glorious things of thee are spoken (AUSTRIA)
Gloria: S-280 (Powell)
Psalm: Ps 105, recited
Seq: 617, Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round (SONG 1)
Off: 9, Not here for high and holy things (MORNING SONG)
Sanctus: S-125, Community Mass (Proulx)
Communion Hymn: 341, For the bread which you have broken (OMNI DIE)
Re: 541, Come, labor on (ORA LABORA)

Ah, bliss. The little 3-stop Holtkamp was tuned, and it is a much pleasanter instrument to play (and to listen to). Silly me forgot my Handel book at St. Joseph's, which is why, in a pinch, I decided on the Bach piece for prelude. Pianistic, I know, but it works on the little one-manual Holtkamp. In general, a postlude is not expected at these services, so there may be times when I just won't play one.

Service #3: Compline at Chapel of the Cross.

We've been using the Order for Compline, as set by David Hurd.

Here are our little additions:

Domine fac mecum (Thomas Morley)
Psalms 31 and 134 (chanted to Tone 8)
Hymn: O Christ, you are both light and day (CHRISTE, QUI LUX ES ET DIES, plainsong Mode 2)
Nunc Dimittis with Faux-bourdons (H. Willan)
Salve Regina (Marian antiphon right after the Dismissal)
Ave Maria ... virgo serena (des Prez)
Organ Voluntary by the abfab David Arcus.
