Secrets of Harry Potter Episode #38: Love and Infatuation

Episode #38 of The Secrets of Harry Potter is up and available. You may listen to it here, or subscribe via iTunes.

This is part two of a three-part series reviewing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

You might be asking, "What happened to Episode #37?" Fr. Roderick did edit it and said he uploaded it, but apparently, there were some problems, and it does not yet appear in the iTunes feed. He's on holiday now, but hopefully when he returns, the problems will be resolved. If you don't mind listening to the raw audio for this episode, click here.

Singing for your lunch

H/T to my friend Angelsteph. She found this very cute YouTube video of a group of people singing their McDonald's order.

Have a look for smiles and giggles.

26 July - Eighth Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 12

I have three lists to share with you today.

My turn for cantoring came up last Sunday at the 7:45 am Mass at Immaculate Conception. Any numbers you see come out of GIA's Gather Comprehensive 1994 (green cover), unless otherwise specified.

My friend Andy took care of the playing duties, which he did entirely on the piano.


Sunday 7:45 am Mass: Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Prelude: Minuet from Partita No. 1 in B-Flat (BWV 825; J. S. Bach)
Hymn in Procession: 545, Sing praise to the Lord (LAUDATE DOMINUM)
Gloria: 176, New Mass for Congregations (C.T. Andrews)
Psalm: 137, Psalm 145 (D. Haas)
Gospel Acclamation: 187, Mass of Light (D. Haas)
Offertory: 747, All people that on earth do dwell (OLD HUNDREDTH)
Sanctus, Mem. Accl., Amen, Agnus Dei: Mass of Light
Communion: 815, You satisfy the hungry heart (BICENTENNIAL)
Recessional Hymn: 568, Father, we thank Thee who hast planted (RENDEZ À DIEU)
Postlude: Improvisation on Rendez à Dieu




St. Joseph's Episcopal Church where I played the usual 10:30 am service. As usual, the numbers are out of The Hymnal 1982.

Eighth Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist Rite II
Prelude: Voluntary in a minor (M. Greene)
Processional Hymn: 390, Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation (LOBE DEN HERREN)
Trisagion: S-100, New Plainsong (Hurd)
Psalm: Ps 14 (Simplified Anglican Chant)
Sequence Hymn: 404, We will extol you, ever-blessed Lord (OLD 124TH)
Offertory Hymn: 455, O Love of God, how strong and true (DUNEDIN)

Communion Song: Gather Comprehensive 830, One bread, one body (J. Foley)
Recessional Hymn: 304, I come with joy to meet my Lord (LAND OF REST)
Postlude: Allegro moderato in F Major (J.E. Kindermann)

Interestingly enough, a woman approached me after the service and told me that she was visiting from somewhere in Wisconsin. She admired the icons we had in the church. I explained to her that we were sharing space with St. Basil the Great Romanian Orthodox Church, and that the icons belonged to them. She then said she was going to go home and tell her friend that we sung his uncle's song in church for Communion. As soon as she said that, I thought, better keep my gob shut. Those of you who have been following me know how I feel about that song.




I played the 4:00 pm service for Carol Woods, which is organised by Chapel of the Cross. During the summer, the music list would generally reflect what was played at the 8:00 am Rite I Eucharist.

The music list:

Eighth Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist Rite I
Prelude: Holsworthy Church Bells (S. Wesley; arr. C. Callahan); Sinfonia (from Cantata No. 156; J.S. Bach)
Processional Hymn: 390, Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation (LOBE DEN HERREN)
Psalm: Psalm 14 (recited)
Offertory Hymn: 380, From all that dwell below the skies (OLD HUNDREDTH)
Comm: Schmücke dich, O liebe Seele (Op. 122, No. 5; J. Brahms)
Recessional Hymn: 448, O love, how deep, how broad, how high (DEUS TUORUM MILITUM)
Postlude: Psalm XIX (B. Marcello)

The next Carol Woods service will be on August 9.

Veronica Lees Keogh (1918-2009)

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Veronica Keogh. She passed away on July 2, 2009 at the age of 91. I met Veronica at a Bible Study organised by friends. She was a long-time parishioner at Immaculate Conception Church before she moved to New Jersey several years ago.

Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace. Amen.

Another SoHP recording!

Jim Beeghley, Fr. Roderick, and I recorded another episode of The Secrets of Harry Potter today. I believe this will be the last part of our review of the latest film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

I am just awed at Fr. Roderick's analysis of this film! I'll admit that this type of lit crit was not one of my strengths, which was why I studied the sciences whilst in school. Even though we had to cut short our recording because of time constraints, we still covered a lot of ground, and we had a great session.

I don't believe Fr. Roderick recorded the uStream session, so I won't be able to share the raw audio with you here. But our recording today will eventually become Episode #39 of SoHP. I'll definitely let you know when he's uploaded it.

In other news... I noticed that the IMAX version of HBP will be showing in Raleigh next week. I'm going to see if I can go to the midnight showing on the 29th. I might even decide to dress up as a witch if I go. So for those of you in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area, would you like to go with me? Please let me know.

19 July - Seventh Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 11

*pats my poor, neglected blog*

I have a couple of lists to share with you here. Better late than never, I say.

Last Sunday, I was asked to play the 7:45 am Mass at Immaculate Conception. Any numbers you see come out of GIA's Gather Comprehensive 1994 (green cover), unless otherwise specified.

I had planned to play a prelude piece, but either my watch was too slow, or my cantor was too quick. He started his opening schpiel early, and I think we ended up starting the Mass at least two minutes too early. But that's okay.

Sunday 7:45 am Mass: Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Hymn in Procession: 606, How firm a foundation (FOUNDATION)
Gloria: 176, New Mass for Congregations (C.T. Andrews)
Psalm: 30, Psalm 23 (J. Gelineau)
Gospel Acclamation: 187, Mass of Light (D. Haas)
Offertory: 635, The King of love my shepherd is (ST. COLUMBA)
Sanctus, Mem. Accl., Amen, Agnus Dei: Mass of Light
Communion Voluntary: Schmücke dich, O liebe Seele (Op. 122, No. 5; J. Brahms)
Recessional Hymn: 612, Amazing Grace (NEW BRITAIN)
Postlude: Andante from Voluntary in g minor (Op. 6, No. 10; J. Stanley)




St. Joseph's Episcopal Church where I played the usual 10:30 am service. As usual, the numbers are out of The Hymnal 1982.

Seventh Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist Rite II
Prelude: Grave from from Voluntary in g minor (Op. 6, No. 10; J. Stanley)
Processional Hymn: 345, Savior, again to thy dear Name we raise (ELLERS)
Trisagion: S-100, New Plainsong (Hurd)
Psalm: Ps 89 (Simplified Anglican Chant)
Sequence Hymn: 567, Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old (ST. MATTHEW)
Offertory Hymn: 653, Dear Lord and Father of all mankind (REPTON)
Sanctus: S-130, Deutsche Messe (Schubert/Proulx))
Lord's Prayer: chanted (S-119 in Hymnal 1982)
Fraction Anthem: S-169, My flesh is food indeed (Urwin)
Communion Song: 693, Just as I am, without one plea (WOODWORTH)
Recessional Hymn: 486, Hosanna to the living Lord (HOSANNA)
Postlude: Andante from Voluntary in g minor (Op. 6, No. 10; J. Stanley)

After the service, a couple of people approached me, telling me how disappointed they were when they couldn't sing the Offertory hymn because it was set to a different tune than they remembered. I'll admit to not having paid attention that it was set to two different hymntunes. The one I know (and absolutely am crazy about) is Repton. It was always one of my favourite hymns to sing when I was a member of the Senior Choir at Chapel of the Cross. So whenever I think of that hymn text, the only tune that pops into my head is Repton.

The other hymntune that goes with that text is Rest, as penned by Frederick Charles Maker. I sight-read it after the service, and it was completely unfamiliar to me. I guess I have my bias. I absolutely adore the text of "Dear Lord and Father of all mankind" to Repton. It is completely foreign to me set to Rest. To each his own, I suppose.

Tomorrow, I will have three services: a 7:45 am Mass at Immaculate Conception, at which I will cantor whilst my friend Andy takes care of the keyboard duties; my usual 10:30 am Rite II service at St. Joseph's, and a 4:00 pm Rite I service at Carol Woods. I am looking forward to seeing the people there.

Squeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just spent a very enjoyable couple of hours recording a podcast called The Secrets of Harry Potter. It was very enjoyable, and my co-hosts, Jim, Maria, and Fr. Roderick, were heaps of fun! We broadcast it on uStream, so you should be able to hear the unpolished, unedited version. You would only be able to see Fr. Roderick, as he was the host. The rest of us contributed via conference call in Skype.

We originally envisioned this as a pair of thirty-minute podcasts, but of course, we had so much material to cover. After two podcasts, we still had so much material to cover, and we'll try recording more later on in the week, before Fr. Roderick goes on holiday.

If I've done this right, you'll see Secrets of Harry Potter Episodes #37 and #38 embedded below.

More Harry Potter-related things...

I have a couple of Harry Potter-related things to share with you.

First of all, H/T to my friend Kelly, who shared this with the Potter_Place Yahoo group. It's an interview with David Heyman, who is one of the producers for the Harry Potter film series. IMHO, it's a must-read for any Harry Potter fan. You may read the interview here.

In other news... I was just invited by Fr. Roderick Vonhögen to join the cast of The Secrets of Harry Potter for their next podcast!!!!!! This fangurl is squeeeeeeeeeeing off the highest rafters!!!

Of course, now this means I'll have to watch the film very soon as Fr. Roderick is talking about getting together on Sunday to record the podcast. So. Who'd like to see the film with me tomorrow? :)

A nice resource for musicians

H/T to Scelata. She found a really nice resource for organists that probably should be bookmarked just as most choir directors would bookmark the Choral Public Domain Library. This resource is the Werner Icking Music Archive, or WIMA for short. It is a veritable treasure trove of music that has passed into the public domain. The music is available in pdf format, and you can see all sorts of composers from Abel, CF to de Zumaya, M. I think it's something every organist (or other musicians for that matter; it's not just for organists) should have a look at.

The Vatican and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

H/T goes to Father Roderick Vonhögen for this information.

L'Osservatore Romano, which is the official newspaper of the Vatican, just published an article in which values in the new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince film is praised. Click here to read the story.

To be honest, this pleases me. I am fed up with the very narrow-minded fools who criticise the Harry Potter series out of sheer ignorance. Open your minds, and read the book. I came to the Harry Potter series rather late, not having read Sorceror's Stone until shortly before Goblet of Fire was published. I had been wondering what the fuss was all about, so when I saw the first book in a thrift shop, I bought it, started to read it, and was immediately hooked. I read through all the books, and bounced excitedly with the rest as GoF was released. It took me a while before I saw the films, and then I watched them straight through until the release of Order of the Phoenix.

I, for one, am looking forward to seeing Half-Blood Prince, but probably won't see it for a while. So for those of you on my friends list who has seen it: please, don't spoil me. Although I suspect I probably know the entire story already, thanks to the books, and the media blitz leading up to the film's release.

David Durkop, Organist

(Edited to add: For those of you reaching this post thanks to searches on David Durkop's name and music: please read this post. You'll see links to YouTube videos of Diane Bish playing three of his original compositions. Thank you.)

Yesterday, I was at a really nice organ recital at First Presbyterian Church in Durham, NC. My friend, David Durkop, gave a recital that featured music of Bach and Buxtehude, as well as his own compositions. He admitted that this was his first recital since he left Bower Hill Community Presbyterian Church approximately eight years ago. It was lots of fun being up there with him, flipping his pages. My only source of wibbling was hoping I didn't mess him up whilst he was playing. Besides a piston not working temporarily, everything went along without a hitch, and David played an amazing program. There was also a great turnout—we estimated anywhere between 150-200 people. Not bad for a hot, sweltering Sunday afternoon. :)

Here is the program. I heard it was recorded, and I'll be eager to hear the recording.

Old Friends

This was the week to see a pair of friends I haven't seen much since I graduated high school so many years ago.

Monday, I saw Anthony Arellano for the first time since I graduated high school. He was a couple of years behind me, as he is my brother's age. Actually, I met Anthony through my brother. They had a band in high school, with Anthony on the guitar and vocals, my brother on the drums ... I believe Eric Filomeno was also on guitar, and Zillah Smith on keyboards (although I had also been asked to play from time to very infrequent time).

Anthony and his wife, Michele, were passing through on the way back to San Diego. They've been taking an annual trip to White Lake, NC to visit with Michele's family, who had lived in Fayetteville before moving to San Diego. We only had time to share a meal in Brier Creek before having to take them to the airport, but it was nice to spend that time with them.

Oh yes. Pic!spam. I really don't like taking pictures, but I said I'd take this one. This is Anthony and me in the Brier Creek Jason's Deli, taken 6 July 2009.

I saw another old friend briefly Tuesday morning. Deanna (Opava) Rosario and her two boys, Connor and Donovan, were returning from a trip to California to visit with relatives. I told them to leave their car in the parking lot behind my apartment – why pay heaps of money in the park-and-ride lot when they could park at my place for free? So I collected them from the airport, drove them back to my place, switched cars, and then they made the drive back to Fayetteville. They had taken the overnight flight from San Diego back to RDU. I know from experience that could be a gruelling flight, especially if you can't fall asleep on the plane. So they were three very tired people as they made the trip back to Fayetteville. But it was great to see Deanna again, even if only for a brief moment. We'll probably see each other again soon.

5 July - Fifth Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 9

I just had one service to play. Here is the music featured during that service.

St. Joseph's Episcopal Church where I played the usual 10:30 am service. As usual, the numbers are out of The Hymnal 1982.

Fifth Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist Rite II
Prelude: Wer nur den lieben Gott läßt walten (G. Böhm); Largo, Voluntary in G (Op. 6, No. 7; J. Stanley); Improvisation on Es flog ein kleins Waldvögelein
Processional Hymn: 616, Hail to the Lord's Anointed (ES FLOG EIN KLEINS WALDVÖGELEIN)
Trisagion: S-100, New Plainsong (Hurd)
Psalm: Ps 48 (Simplified Anglican Chant)
Sequence Hymn: 635, If thou but trust in God to guide thee (WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT)
Offertory Hymn: 530, Spread, O spread, thou mighty word (GOTT SEI DANK)
Sanctus: S-130, Deutsche Messe (Schubert/Proulx))
Lord's Prayer: chanted (S-119 in Hymnal 1982)
Fraction Anthem: S-169, My flesh is food indeed (Urwin)
Communion Song: LEVAS II 194, Lead me, guide me (D. Akers)
Recessional Hymn: 528, Lord, you give the great commission (AUSTRIA)
Postlude: Vivace, Voluntary in G (Op. 6, No. 7; J. Stanley)

  • I completely mis-estimated the time I needed to play my prelude pieces. So when I finished the Stanley piece, much to my chagrin, I had four minutes left. So I filled most of that four minutes with an improvisation on the opening hymn. Somehow, it worked, and one of my choristers complimented me, saying it was pretty.

  • I wibbled over the Communion song. I will be the first to admit that I don't do folk, jazzy, or rock-type contemporary songs/hymns all that well, mainly because I cannot relate to it. (There is a reason why I haven't been programming much of that type of song during the services. Sure, it's all well and good for me to program it. I just have to remember who has to play it during services...) So I did a bit of research on how it should sound. Wouldn't you know it: I discovered a couple of very interesting YouTube videos, which gave me an idea how I should play this piece.

    Here is a video featuring the composer, Doris Akers, playing and singing the piece.



    And, interestingly enough, Elvis Presley performing the same piece.



    I must have done well. A couple of people approached me after the service, admiring the way I played the accompaniment. "It sounds very African-American, the way you played that." Validation, indeed. :)

  • In the Hymnal 1982, the hymntune associated with "Lord, you give the great commission" is Rowthorne; in Wonder, Love, and Praise, it is associated with Abbot's Leigh. I had always sung this text to Abbot's Leigh; however, I noticed that in the in-house St. Joseph's Songbook, this text is set to Austria. And so Austria it was.


We'll be doing this again next Sunday.

A couple of interesting YouTube videos

I am still catching up with my posts. There are a couple of YouTube videos I wanted to share with my friends.

As the entire world knows, Michael Jackson died suddenly last week. For his service last week Sunday, organist Robert Ridgell's improvised postlude was a tribute to Jackson. This took place at Trinity Wall Street Church, Broadway, New York.

As the person who uploaded this video said: Beat It and ABC came together seamlessly in this performance. Majestic.

I couldn't agree more.



Here is Video #2. The United States just celebrated 233 years of independence. What perfect way to commemorate this occasion than a video featuring the Muppets? I first noticed this one last year, and I'd like to share this with you this year.



Of course, Sam the American Eagle is obnoxious, but it all adds to the charm of this video.

Enjoy!

28 June - Fourth Sunday After Pentecost - Proper 8

Yes, I am a week late. But as they say, better late than never, right?


St. Joseph's Episcopal Church where I played the usual 10:30 am service. As usual, the numbers are out of The Hymnal 1982.

Fourth Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist Rite II
Prelude: Adagio-(Allegro), Voluntary in e minor (Op. 7, No. 7; J. Stanley)
Processional Hymn: 518, Christ is made the sure foundation (WESTMINSTER ABBEY)
Trisagion: S-100, New Plainsong (Hurd)
Psalm: Ps 130 (Simplified Anglican Chant)
Sequence Hymn: WLP 772, O Christ, the healer (KEDRON)
Offertory Hymn: 493, O for a thousand tongues to sing (AZMON)
Sanctus: S-130, Deutsche Messe (Schubert/Proulx))
Lord's Prayer: chanted (S-119 in Hymnal 1982)
Fraction Anthem: S-169, My flesh is food indeed (Urwin)
Communion Song: 666, Out of the depths I call (ST. BRIDE)
Recessional Hymn: 594, Come away to the skies (CWM RHONDDA)
Postlude: Largo Staccato, Voluntary in G Major (Op. 7, No. 9; Stanley)




I played the 4:00 pm service for Carol Woods, which is organised by Chapel of the Cross. During the summer, the music list generally reflects what was played at the 8:00 am Rite I Eucharist at Chapel of the Cross.

The music list:

Fourth Sunday after Pentecost: Holy Eucharist Rite II
Prelude: Adagio-(Allegro), Voluntary in e minor (Op. 7, No. 7; J. Stanley)
Processional Hymn: 518, Christ is made the sure foundation (WESTMINSTER ABBEY)
Psalm: Psalm 130 (recited)
Offertory Hymn: 707, Take my life and let it be (HOLLINGSIDE)
Comm: Vivace, Voluntary in G Major (Op. 7, No. 9; Stanley)
Recessional Hymn: 594, Come away to the skies (CWM RHONDDA)
Postlude: Largo Staccato, Voluntary in G Major (Op. 7, No. 9; Stanley)

The next Carol Woods service will be on July 12. Because I will be attending an organ recital that afternoon, my friend Brian C. will be handling the playing duties for that service.

Shameless plug time: speaking of organ recital, next Sunday, July 12, my friend David Durkop will be playing pieces by J.S. Bach and Buxtehude, in addition to his own compositions. His recital will take place at 4:00 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church in Durham, NC. Admission is free. This should be a good recital; David's got heaps of talent. If you're in the area, please do consider spending an afternoon listening to great organ music.

28 June - Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

*pats my poor, neglected blog*

My turn for cantoring came up last Sunday at the 7:45 am Mass at Immaculate Conception. Any numbers you see come out of GIA's Gather Comprehensive 1994 (green cover), unless otherwise specified.

I didn't pay attention to what Jane played for the prelude, but I immediately recognised the Communion voluntary.


Sunday 7:45 am Mass: Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Hymn in Procession: 506, Immortal, Invisible, God only wise (ST. DENIO)
Gloria: 176, New Mass for Congregations (C.T. Andrews)
Psalm: Psalm 30 (M. Guimont)
Gospel Acclamation: 187, Mass of Light (D. Haas)
Offertory: 651, So the day dawn for me (NEW FREEDOM)
Sanctus, Mem. Accl., Amen, Agnus Dei: Mass of Light
Communion Voluntary: IV. "The peace may be exchanged." from Rubrics (D. Locklair)
Recessional Hymn: 655, The kingdom of God is justice and joy (LAUDATE DOMINUM)
Postlude: Improvisation on Laudate Dominum

We had a bit of a miscommunication: another piece was programmed for the Recessional Hymn, but when Jane played the intro, I realised we weren't going to sing that piece. After a false start, we managed to get on the right track. Unfortunately, the priest started walking down the aisle before the introduction was completed, so we only sang one verse of this hymn.

So Jane ended up improvising on it.
