Voice Divisional Recital, 22 April 2009
Last Wednesday, I was asked to accompany a friend, who is a Vocal Performance major at UNC Chapel Hill. He wanted me to play the organ as he sang "Draw near, all ye people" from Mendelssohn's Elijah.
The event kind of reminded me of In-House Seminars, except instead of graduate students giving lectures to each other, we have undergraduate students singing pieces for each other. It seemed like a really nice, supportive atmosphere, and with this being the last Wednesday recital of the current academic year, every singer received a standing ovation.
Before the program started, the students presented a plaque to Professor Stafford Wing in appreciation for his teaching throughout his long and distinguished career. The group hug at the end was very endearing.
Here is the program.

For the last two services of the academic year, we'll be using Eucharistic Prayer F from the Church of England (Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England). Also too, we were informed that the Rev Nils Chittenden has accepted the call to be the new Chaplain at the EC. Hopefully, he'll be arriving in late July, to assume his position the beginning of August. He visited the US last year, wanting to know more about how US universities do their ministries to college students. He rang us up during dinner and we had a lovely conversation, with the students introducing themselves and having a general "get to know you" discussion.

19 April - Divine Mercy Sunday
*pats my poor, neglected blog*
Oh, right. I was supposed to have posted music lists. I will provide four of them over two posts. Here is the first. My turn for cantoring came up at Immaculate Conception. Any numbers you see come out of GIA's Gather Comprehensive 1994 (green cover).
Sunday 7.45 am Mass: Divine Mercy Sunday
Hymn in Procession: 433, At the Lamb's high feast we sing (SALZBURG)
Psalm: Psalm 118, (antiphon 263 (Hughes Alleluia in C); verses set to Tone VIII)
Gospel Acclamation: 261 (A.G. Murray)
Offertory: 423, O sons and daughters, let us sing! (O FILII ET FILIAE)
Sanctus, Mem. Accl., Amen, Agnus Dei: 166-168; 171, Mass of Creation
Communion Voluntary: a portion of Pastorale in E (Op. 19; C. Franck)
Recessional Hymn: 442, Sing with all the saints (HYMN TO JOY)
Postlude: Prelude in C Major, BWV 545 (J.S. Bach)
I didn't catch what Jane played for prelude. The postlude was the Prelude in C Major (Weimar), so I am assuming that I have the BWV number correct. If not, please leave me a comment.
I think our little experiment of using psalm antiphon from Gather and chanting the verses to a psalm tone appears to be working. I've received compliments on my chanting of the psalms, so I believe we're going to do that again whenever my turn comes up to cantor this Mass.

Holy Week and Triduum with the Organ-ic Chemist
I fell so far behind in my posting. I will admit that it was an exhausting week, and I just wanted to rest ... well, after having done a scientific favour for a friend.
I did a flurry of posts, back-dating everything, so even if the dates reflected the days the services took place, there will be a heap of posts imported into Facebook, or flooding my f-list on LJ, etc. And that's okay.
Here is a list of the services I've posted.

12 April - Easter Day
This post will be back-dated - I've really delayed in getting this up.
As usual ... my music lists for Sunday services. This was yet another joint service between the Episcopal Centre at Duke University and St. Joseph's Episcopal Church. Numbers are out of The Hymnal 1982.
Prelude: Christ lag in Todesbanden (BWV 625; J. S. Bach)
Pro: 175, Hail thee, festival day! (SALVE FESTA DIES)
Gloria: S-280 (Powell)
Psalm: Ps 118. This was interesting: the antiphon was the refrain from the Celtic Alleluia. The verses, I set to Marty Haugen's tone, using the text from vs 1-2, and 14-24 from the Book of Common Prayer. Admittedly, that didn't work so well, so next year, I'll go back to setting this to Tone 8. It certainly won't be as awkward as using the Haugen setting was.
Seq: 184, Christ the Lord is risen again (CHRIST IST ERSTANDEN)
Off: Christ the Lord is ris'n again (R. Shephard)
Sanctus: S-125, Community Mass (Proulx)
Lord's Prayer: chanted (S-119 in Hymnal 1982)
Fraction Anthem: S-154, New Plainsong (Hurd)
Comm: 460, Alleluia, sing to Jesus (HYFRYDOL);
304, I come with joy to meet my Lord (LAND OF REST)
Re: 207 Jesus Christ is risen today (EASTER HYMN)
Postlude: Fugue in C ("Gigue") (BuxWV 174, D. Buxtehude)
This was actually a heap of fun. Special thanks to Meg E. (viola), Daniel P. (clarinet), and Rob A. (bass guitar) for all their hard work in making Easter Vigil and Easter Day music so special.
Next service: I played the 4.00 pm service for Carol Woods are organised by Chapel of the Cross. It was a joy playing for these folks, but I (just as the Presider du jour) was sorry I couldn't stay and wish everyone a Happy Easter because of having to rush across town back to downtown Chapel Hill for the 5.15 pm service at Chapel of the Cross.
The music list:
Pro: 180, He is risen! (NEANDER)
Psalm: Psalm 114 (recited)
Seq: 199, Come, ye faithful, raise the strain (ST. KEVIN)
Off: 174, At the Lamb's high feast we sing (SALZBURG)
Comm: Christ ist erstanden (S. Scheidt); Jesus Christ is Risen Today (H. Fleischer); Orientis partibus (H.J. Markworth) - these three selections from The Parish Organist, ed. H. Fleischer
Re: 207 Jesus Christ is risen today (EASTER HYMN)
Postlude: A very quick improvisation on Christ lag in Todesbanden
Next service: I sang with the Parish Choir at the 5.15 pm service at Chapel of the Cross.
Van decided to play this service. Here is the music.
Prelude: Sounded like several settings of Easter Hymn but I'm not sure by whom.

Gloria: S-280 (Powell)
Psalm: Psalm 114, recited
Seq: 208, The strife is o'er, the battle done (VICTORY)

Communion Hymn: 174, At the Lamb's high feast we sing (SALZBURG)
Re: 199, Come, ye faithful, raise the strain (ST. KEVIN)
Postlude: Christ lag in Todesbanden (BWV 625; J. S. Bach)
Well, talk about predictable. This slate of service music, including the choir anthem, is essentially unchanged from last year. I just noticed that.
Compline at Chapel of the Cross.
We've been using the Order for Compline, as set by David Hurd. Our little additions:
Alleluia (Andrea Gabrieli)
Psalms 91 and 134 (chanted to Tone 8)
Hymn: Christians, to the Paschal victim (VICTIMÆ PASCHALI LAUDES, Plainsong, Mode I)
Nunc Dimittis from Short Service (O. Gibbons)

This post will be back-dated - I've really delayed in getting this up.

Miso soup
I went to an Asian supermarket a couple of days ago, and picked up some vegetables and other items I would not be able to easily pick up at the local supermarkets near me.
Amongst the items I bought: freshly made tofu (5 cakes/$2.00) and Okinawan Sweet Potatoes.
I was in a miso soup mood, and it really is one of the easiest things in the world to make.
2 pcs tofu (or if you get it from the supermarket, one container of it will do.)
3 stalks green onion, chopped (green tops only)
4 c water
4 tsp Hon-Dashi
3-4 tbsp miso paste (red or white, your choice)
Place water and Hon-Dashi in a pot and bring to a boil. While doing that, cut the tofu into cubes. Lower the heat to low and add the tofu. Heat through. Add the green onion and allow to heat for a few minutes.
Remove from heat and add the miso paste. Mix gently to ensure the miso paste is dissolved.
Serve immediately.
I used red miso paste. I've used white in the past. IIRC, the difference between red and white is the amount of time the miso paste was fermented. I believe the red was fermented longer than the white.

5 April - Palm Sunday
Goodness, we are in Holy Week already!!!
To start off, my lists. You'll notice that the slate of music for both St Joseph's and Chapel of the Cross remain essentially unchanged from last year's lists with the exception of the choir anthems for both places.
With that ... the lists.
My turn for cantoring came up at Immaculate Conception. Any numbers you see come out of GIA's Gather Comprehensive 1994 (green cover).
Sunday 7.45 am Mass: Palm Sunday
Hymn in Procession: 402, All glory, laud, and honor (ST THEODULPH)
Psalm: 29, Psalm 22, (antiphon by Haugen; verses set to Tone VIII)
Gospel Acclamation: 160-A, Mass of Creation (M Haugen)
Offertory: 415, O Sacred Head surrounded (PASSION CHORALE)
Sanctus: 180, People's Mass
Mem. Accl., Amen: 181-182, Danish Amen Mass
Agnus Dei: 184, Agnus Dei XVIII (in English)
Communion: Hymnal 1982 162, The royal banners forward go (VEXILLA REGIS PRODEUNT, plainsong Mode I; chanted as a solo)
Postlude: Herzlich tut mich verlangen, BWV 727 (J.S. Bach)
It seemed to have gone over well, despite my lack of proper breath support and such. Sigh. Perhaps I should work on my singing as well. Ever since I stopped being a regular part of a choir, my singing has deteriorated. My constant bouts with cold and laryngitis certainly hasn't helped me either. :(
Moving right along ...
St. Joseph's Episcopal Church where I played the usual 10.30 am service. As usual, the numbers are out of The Hymnal 1982.
Palm Sunday: Holy Eucharist Rite II
Prelude: Herzlich tut mich verlangen (J. Brahms, Op. 122, No. 9)
At the Blessing of the Psalms:
Psalm: 157 Psalm 118 (Gallican Chant)
Pro: 154 All Glory, Laud and Honor (VALET WILL ICH DER GEBEN)
Psalm: Psalm Ps 31 (Tone II.1)
Seq: 158, Ah holy Jesus, how has thou offended (HERZLIEBSTER JESU)
Off: 162, The royal banners forward go (VEXILLA REGIS PRODEUNT, plainsong Mode I)
Sanctus: S-124 New Plainsong (D. Hurd)
Lord's Prayer: chanted (S-119 in Hymnal 1982)
Agnus Dei: S-161 New Plainsong (D. Hurd)
Communion Anthem: Non nobis, Domine (Ps 115:1; attr. W. Byrd)
Communion Hymn: 458, My Song is Love Unknown (LOVE UNKNOWN, with alt. accompaniments and descant by Donald Busarow)
Re: 168, O Sacred Head, sore wounded (HERZLICH TUT MICH VERLANGEN)
Chapel of the Cross
My friend Mike drew the organist playing duties for the 5.15 pm service. Van asked him to draw out the introduction for All Glory, Laud and Honor, which he did a fine job of doing.
With that, the music, including Mike's voluntary piece.
Palm Sunday: Holy Eucharist Rite II
At the Blessing of the Psalms:
Anthem: Hosanna Filio David (Tomàs Luis de Victoria)
Pro: 154 All Glory, Laud and Honor (VALET WILL ICH DER GEBEN)
Seq: 158, Ah holy Jesus, how has thou offended (HERZLIEBSTER JESU)
Off: God so loved the world (J. Stainer)
Sanctus: S-125 Community Mass (R. Proulx)
Communion Voluntary: Chorale prelude O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig (Pachelbel)
Communion Hymn: 313, Let thy Blood in mercy poured (JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT)
Re: 168, O Sacred Head, sore wounded (HERZLICH TUT MICH VERLANGEN)
Postlude: Herzlich tut mich verlangen (J. Brahms, Op. 122, No. 9)
By the way, for both the service at St. Joseph's as well as that at Chapel of the Cross, the accompaniment for Herzliebster Jesu was taken from the Hymnal 1940. I'm not sure what the editors of the Hymnal 1982 did with the accompaniment, but I just found it easier to follow in the 1940 as opposed to the 1982. My choristers agreed with me and were happy to make the switch.
Compline at the Chapel of the Cross. We've been using the Order for Compline, as set by David Hurd.
Here are our little additions:
Christus Factus Est (Felice Anerio)
Psalms 31 and 134 (chanted to Tone 8)
Hymn: The royal banners forward go (VEXILLA REGIS PRODEUNT, plainsong Mode I)
In manus tuas (Sheppard; sung in addition to "Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit ...)
Nunc Dimittis (fauxbourdon, H. Willan)
Ave Regina Cælorum (Marian antiphon right after the Dismissal)
Ave Maria (Tomas Luis de Victoria)
Organ Voluntary by the abfab David Arcus.

Saturday afternoon in the kitchen
Those of you who have been following me on Facebook or on GTalk know that I've spent the last couple of days converting music written in neumes to modern notation. I'm nearly done with that task, but decided to take a break from all that by puttering 'round in the kitchen.
I had some left-over buttermilk that needed to be used, so I thought of making buttermilk pancakes. Since I had some quickly ripening bananas, I decided to include that in the mix.
So here is the recipe I used:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 bananas, ripe
Sift together into a bowl the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Beat the eggs until frothy. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Cut the bananas into slices and drop in the batter. Fold the bananas into the batter.
Cook on a lightly greased griddle (I used cooking spray on the surface): pour the batter by 1/4 cup increments. If you want bigger pancakes, increase the amount of batter (1/3 - 1/2 cupfuls).
This recipe made 22 pancakes when 1/4 c batter was cooked on the griddle.
Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or if you want something more savoury, eggs, bacon, ham, spam, etc.
And just for Arlyn: my Espasol recipe. The secret to successful espasol: you need to toast the malagkit (sweet rice) flour. Most recipes will tell you to roast the malagkit (sweet rice) and then grind it. Why grind when you can easily buy it already ground? I've generally used Mochiko flour, and if you can get the one produced by Koda Farms, that's even better.
Espasol
4 c malagkit flour
1 ½ c sugar
3 c coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
Roast the malagkit flour in an ungreased pan until the flour appears very lightly tan. (I've always been told if it's the colour of my skin, it's too dark.)
Set aside 1 c malagkit flour for later use.Combine the remaining 3 cups of roasted flour with the rest of the ingredients. It's going to be a bit sticky when everything is incorporated.
On a surface dusted with the malagkit flour, roll out the dough until it's around 1/4 - 1/2" thickness. With a cutter (I've generally used a diamond-shaped cutter), cut out the shapes, roll in the flour you set aside and place in a container.
Serve at room temperature.
Guaranteed - if you serve this to a group of Filipinos, especially in a place where these things are not easily bought, they will disappear faster than you can say "boo".
Enjoy! :)
Edited to add:
Oops. I knew I forgot something. My recipe only had the ingredients list, and I had to remember how to put it together.
What I was missing: combine the sugar and coconut milk in a pan. Whilst stirring, bring to a boil over medium heat, and then lower the flame to a simmer. Add the vanilla and the salt.
To this you add the toasted malagkit flour, and keep stirring. Don't burn the mixture, but keep going until it's relatively dry. It should become a pliant material that you can put on a flour board and roll.
After I posted this, I remembered my mum having this sticky mixture in a pot that she was pouring out onto a floured board and realised that I missed this one crucial step.
Enjoy! :)

2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 bananas, ripe
Sift together into a bowl the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Beat the eggs until frothy. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Cut the bananas into slices and drop in the batter. Fold the bananas into the batter.
Cook on a lightly greased griddle (I used cooking spray on the surface): pour the batter by 1/4 cup increments. If you want bigger pancakes, increase the amount of batter (1/3 - 1/2 cupfuls).
This recipe made 22 pancakes when 1/4 c batter was cooked on the griddle.
Serve warm with butter, jam, honey, or if you want something more savoury, eggs, bacon, ham, spam, etc.
And just for Arlyn: my Espasol recipe. The secret to successful espasol: you need to toast the malagkit (sweet rice) flour. Most recipes will tell you to roast the malagkit (sweet rice) and then grind it. Why grind when you can easily buy it already ground? I've generally used Mochiko flour, and if you can get the one produced by Koda Farms, that's even better.
Espasol
4 c malagkit flour
1 ½ c sugar
3 c coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla
Pinch of salt
Roast the malagkit flour in an ungreased pan until the flour appears very lightly tan. (I've always been told if it's the colour of my skin, it's too dark.)
Set aside 1 c malagkit flour for later use.
On a surface dusted with the malagkit flour, roll out the dough until it's around 1/4 - 1/2" thickness. With a cutter (I've generally used a diamond-shaped cutter), cut out the shapes, roll in the flour you set aside and place in a container.
Serve at room temperature.
Guaranteed - if you serve this to a group of Filipinos, especially in a place where these things are not easily bought, they will disappear faster than you can say "boo".
Enjoy! :)
Edited to add:
Oops. I knew I forgot something. My recipe only had the ingredients list, and I had to remember how to put it together.
What I was missing: combine the sugar and coconut milk in a pan. Whilst stirring, bring to a boil over medium heat, and then lower the flame to a simmer. Add the vanilla and the salt.
To this you add the toasted malagkit flour, and keep stirring. Don't burn the mixture, but keep going until it's relatively dry. It should become a pliant material that you can put on a flour board and roll.
After I posted this, I remembered my mum having this sticky mixture in a pot that she was pouring out onto a floured board and realised that I missed this one crucial step.
Enjoy! :)
