25 December - Christmas Day

Picture comes courtesy of The Curt Jester .

Not surprisingly, I fell way behind in posting my music lists. I will admit that this post was written well after Christmas (it's already Lent as I write this ... Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa) ... but anyway, I will share this list with you.

My friend over at St Philip's Episcopal Church asked me to play the 10.00 am Christmas Day service for him. I agreed. I'll admit, I had an ulterior motive: the Durham-Chapel Hill chapter of the American Guild of Organists had scheduled a Members' Recital at St Philip's for January 8, 2010, and I was one of those scheduled to play. So it gave me a chance to get acclimated to the organ, plus it gave me a chance to work on the piece I said I'd play. There were ca. 30 people present ... it really was difficult to predict how many people would be coming. Numbers are out of the Hymnal 1982. Some alternate harmonisations out of Carols for Choirs I were used during the service.

Christmas Day: Holy Eucharist Rite II
Prelude: In dulci jubilo (F. Zachau); Lobt Gott, ihr Christen, allzugleich (J.G. Walther)

24 December - Christmas Eve

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

I will admit that this post was written well after Christmas (it's already Lent as I write this ... Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa) ... but anyway, I will share three lists with you.

Carol Woods. Services there are organised by Chapel of the Cross. This service resembles the 8.00 am summer morning Rite I services at Chapel of the Cross with a few omissions, depending upon the Presider of the Day. Numbers are out of the Hymnal 1982.

St. Joseph's Episcopal Church where I played the 5.30 pm Christmas Eve service. The service was preceded by a 15 minute carol service. Because most of my choristers said they'd be out, I made the decision to have only hymns for the carol service. Numbers are out of the Hymnal 1982.

• 102, Once in royal David's city (IRBY)
• 78, O Little Town of Bethlehem (FOREST GREEN)

Recessional Hymn: 100, Joy to the World (ANTIOCH)
Postlude: Wir Christenleut' (J. G. Walther)

We didn't have enough time to sing the second Communion hymn, so I made the decision to invite everyone to sing it (Angels we have heard on high) right after the dismissal and before my postlude. Amazingly enough, no one left—they all stayed to sing the hymn! After the service, so many people approached me, thanking me for doing that. It made me feel wonderful for having made the last-minute decision to do that.

After a lovely supper (and a beautifully roasted turkey, I dashed off to Chapel Hill for service #3: the 11.00 pm Christ Mass at the Chapel of the Cross. As usual - it was a glorious service, a High Mass of sorts, complete with smells and bells. Oh, and music. Lots and lots of music.

It was heaps of fun singing with the Senior Choir once again, and it was wonderful being with choristers who I haven't seen on a regular basis. Considering all that Chapel of the Cross has done for me, I'm more than happy to help out whenever I can.

So again: a very Happy Christmas to everyone.

Simbang Gabi, Friday of the Third Week of Advent

Despite the snow and the sleet, the Filipino Community of Central North Carolina had their annual Simbang Gabi Mass. For more about the Simbang Gabi tradition, click here for an explanation, courtesy of the Archdiocese of Manila website. I particularly like the way the explanation concluded with the significance of the Simbang Gabi. Why is it that Filipinos, both in the Philippines and abroad, have continued with this tradition that started in the mid-19th century?

Simbang Gabi has become one of the most popular traditions in the country. But it is not just a tradition that is celebrated because we need to do so. It is a significant moment not only because it strengthens relationships among family members but also because it is the time where our faith is intensified. This is the time where we mostly feel the presence of the Lord because it is the spiritual preparation for Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. It does not matter if one has the stamina to complete the novena or not, what really matters is what is inside the heart. The blessing does not depend on the number of mass attended, but what is important is the disposition of the person who receives the Lord’s blessing.

I was pleased by the number of people who attended this Mass, especially given the weather and another large event organised by another group of Filipinos.

The Mass, celebrated by Fr Julian Jagudilla, OFM, was conducted in Tagalog mostly, with judicious use of English here and there ... and the music was provided by a group of Filipinos, both young and old, who love to sing. This was followed by a cultural programme, which featured traditional Filipino song and dance.

Of course, the post-Mass reception was a smashing success! There was more than enough food to feed everyone, and a great time was had by all.

With that, here is the list of music, with attributions as I was able to find them. This year, some of the music was drawn from Bukas Palad, a Philippines-based Catholic music ministry. I believe the unattributed music was written by members of the Jesuit Music Ministry of the Philippines. Any numbers you see come out of GIA's Gather Comprehensive 1994 (green cover).

Prelude:

• Himig ng Pasko (unattributed)
• 317, O come, O come Emmanuel
• 331, God of all people
• 341, O come, all ye faithful/Adeste fidelis

Opening Hymn: Gising mga Kristiyano (unattributed)
Kyrie: Panginoon, maawa ka (TV Vinteres, CsSR)
Gloria: Papuri sa Diyos (Hontiveros)*
Psalm: Psalm 80 (EC Marfori)
Gospel Acclamation: Aleluya (Hontiveros)
Music during Anointing of the Sick: Fantasia (J. Pachelbel); Allegretto (G. Böhm)
Offertory: Paghahandog ng Sarili (Arboleda/Francisco/Ofrasio)
Sanctus: Santo, Santo (Hontiveros)
Memorial Acclamation: Si Kristo ay namatay (unattributed, most likely Hontiveros)
Concluding Acclamation: Four-fold Amen (unattributed)
Lord's Prayer: Ama Namin (Vinteres)
Agnus Dei: Kordero ng Diyos (Hontiveros)
Communion Hymns

• 352, Silent Night (O tahimik na daigdig)
• O Holy Night (Cantique de Nöel, A Adam)

Post-Communion Reflection: Birheng Maria (unattributed)
Closing Hymn: Balang Araw (MV Francisco, SJ; J Borres, SJ)
Postlude: Ang Pasko ay Sumapit (L. Celerio)

* I am aware that during Advent, the Gloria is not sung. However, an exception has been made for this set of Masses. This explanation comes courtesy of Fr Mel Portula, CICM, who is now based in Baguio City, Philippines:

During Misa de Gallo – a nine-day novena before Christmas popular in the Philippines and among Filipinos around the world, "Gloria" is sung. Novena Masses have a unique liturgical character. The "Gloria" is sung on these Masses and the vestment color is white. I believe that since Misa de Gallo is considered a novena, then "Gloria" is sung and white is the color of the vestment, not purple. All Masses during the nine-day novenas follow the same structure and rubric, even the one that falls on Sunday.

So there you have it. It was an issue we had debated back when we first started doing Simbang Gabi Masses here in Central NC.

I was asked to provide instrumental music during the Anointing of the Sick, so I pulled out two easy pieces that have been in my repertoire for a while. I received compliments on how I played them... yes, on the organ...

Admittedly, we had a lot of ups and downs and conflicts as we planned this Mass. Let's hope that next year, the planning process will be smoother.

I still have yet to post what we did for Simbang Gabi last Friday, but that list will be forthcoming. Suffice to say, it was a Bukas Palad day. And I was quite happy that we had between 250-300 people turn up despite the snow and the sleet.

4:15 pm: Choir Call, St Joseph's
5:15 pm: Carol Sing, St Joseph's
5:30 pm: Holy Eucharist, Rite II, St Joseph's, followed by a Christmas dinner

12/15, 10:00 am: Holy Eucharist, Rite II, St Philip's

And then, I can rest. Happy Christmas, everyone! :)

13 December - Third Sunday of Advent

I remember going into wibble mode because I'd decided at the last minute to play a 5-minute improvisation on "People, look East". Somehow, I managed, and a couple of people complimented me on my improvisation during the Fellowship Hour.

At least I know I can do this. :)

---

I was supposed to have played the 5.15 pm service at Chapel of the Cross; however, because the Parish Choir was going to sing two anthems that had to be accompanied, Van Quinn decided to play and asked that I sing with the choir. So I sang alto for this group. It was such a treat to listen to Van play once again ... he's been doing this for so long, despite one being unable to see the altar from the organ console, he still timed his improvs exactly.

Advent Lessons and Carols at the Episcopal Centre at Duke University. Now that was fun. I had a flute, guitar, and a bassoon to accompany the lovely little 3-stop Holtkamp that lives at the Episcopal Centre. Kudos to Alison, David, and Daniel for the wonderful job they did!

A festive banquet and Lyn Roast ... erm, Hymn Sing followed. Boy am I glad my sight-reading skills have improved since I started living the life of a church musician. They came in very handy during the Hymn Sing!

I'm just going to list the readings and the hymns we did during the Lessons and Carols.

29 November - First Sunday of Advent

I am so so far behind! I haven't really blogged regularly, and I've neglected both this blog as well as my LiveJournal blog.

On this new Liturgical Year, I promise to do better.

Really.

Promise.

Here are my lists.
