26 October - Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 25

Here are my usual lists.

First of all: due to Parents' Weekend at Duke University, I had to ask a friend to sub for me at St. Joseph's Episcopal Church. I will list the music I had planned for the 10.30 am service.

Re: 551, Rise up, ye saints of God! (FESTAL SONG)

While I'm thinking of it - I suppose my embedding experiment from last week didn't work out all that well. The Quicktime player came up whilst using Internet Destroyer, but not when using Firefox. Are there any HTML-fluent readers out there who could give me some insight as to why? Please leave me a comment in the combox if you've any ideas.

The Episcopal Centre at Duke University had their service at 10.00 am, where parents of the usual crowd were invited. As I mentioned earlier, last weekend was Parents' Weekend at Duke.

Here is the musical line-up for that service.

The Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist: Rite II
Prelude: If Ye Love Me (T. Tallis. I played the choir parts on the 8' stop on the little 3-stop Holtkamp that lives in the chapel.)
Pro: 450, All hail the power of Jesus' Name! (CORONATION)
Gloria: S-278 (Mathias)
Psalm: Ps 90, recited
Seq: 517, How lovely is thy dwelling place (BROTHER JAMES' AIR)
Off: 680, O God our help in ages past (ST. ANNE)
Sanctus: S-128 (Mathias)
Lord's Prayer: chanted (S-119 in Hymnal 1982)
Communion Hymn: WLP 831, Ubi Caritas (Taizé)
Re: 551, Rise up, ye saints of God! (FESTAL SONG)
Postlude: Fuge fur Orgel manualiter (D. Ponder)

Compline at Chapel of the Cross.

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

Here are our little additions:

O Lord, the maker (at ca. 5m 10s; William Mundy)
Psalms 4 and 134 (chanted to Tone 8)
Hymn: Christ, mighty Saviour (CHRISTE, LUX MUNDI, plainsong Mode 7)
Nunc Dimittis from Short Service (O. Gibbons)
Salve Regina (Marian antiphon right after the Dismissal)
Ave Maria (Robert Parsons)
Organ Voluntary by the abfab David Arcus.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen - Van Quinn does listen to you. He told the choir last week that someone had requested a change in the Nunc Dimittis. We had sung the Willan setting ever since I can remember ... so then he handed out the Gibbons setting, and after a couple of run-throughs, he decided we would be ready enough to sing it that evening. And sing it, we did.

It is such a pleasure to be singing with such a talented group! ♥♥
