Prelude<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

L’Orgue Mystique<\/em> op. 54 no. 14 “Quinquagesima”<\/em>,\u00a0 Charles Tournemire (1870-1939)<\/p>\n

Here is\u00a0 Le Quinquag\u00e9sime – 1 – Pr\u00e9lude \u0430 l’Intro\u00eft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Charles Arnould Tournemire (1870 \u2013 1939) was a French composer and organist, notable partly for his improvisations which were often rooted in the music of Gregorian chant. His compositions include eight symphonies (one of them choral), four operas, twelve chamber works and eighteen piano solos; but he is remembered largely for his organ music, the best known being set of pieces L’Orgue Mystique, a group of 51 sets of five pieces each (except for Holy Saturday, which contains only three pieces), all written between 1927 and 1932. This collection covers the cycle of the Roman Catholic liturgical year, each set being based on the Gregorian chants for the day.<\/p>\n

Hymns<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

How firm a foundation<\/em> (LYONS)<\/span><\/p>\n

How firm a foundation\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(1787) is a hymn that for over two centuries has assured believers of the faithfulness of Christ and the certainty of hope. The first verse acts as an introduction, giving us cause to stop and ponder the Word of assurance that God has given us, described in greater detail in the next four verses. Those four verses are in fact paraphrases of Scripture passages: Isaiah 41:10, 43:2, Romans 8:3-39, Hebrews 13:5, and Deuteronomy 31:6. In the words of this hymn, we carry with us the Word from God, and the call to trust in that Word. But God\u2019s Word is expansive and not limited to letters on a page \u2014 the fifth verse moves us to a trust in the Word made flesh in Jesus Christ. Thus we are assured by the words we sing, the Word we are given, and the Word made flesh, of the steadfastness of God and His unfailing love.<\/p>\n

In John Rippon\u2019s\u00a0A Selection of Hymn<\/em>s (1787, plus numerous subsequent editions), \u201cHow Firm a Foundation\u201d (no. 128) is attributed simply to \u201cK\u2014\u201d.\u00a0 The author of the hymn has never been definitively identified.<\/p>\n

How firm a foundation you saints of the Lord,
\nis laid for your faith in his excellent Word!
\nWhat more can he say than to you he has said,
\nto you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?<\/p>\n

\u201cFear not, I am with you, O be not dismayed,
\nfor I am your God, and will still give you aid;
\nI\u2019ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,
\nupheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen through the deep waters I call you to go,
\nthe rivers of sorrow shall not overflow,
\nfor I will be with you in trouble to bless,
\nand sanctify to you your deepest distress.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen through fiery trials your pathway shall lie,
\nmy grace all-sufficient shall be your supply;
\nthe flame shall not hurt you; I only design
\nyour dross to consume and your gold to refine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
\nI will not, I will not desert to its foes;
\nthat soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
\nI\u2019ll never, no, never, no never forsake!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is the original text:<\/p>\n

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
\nIs laid for your faith in his excellent word!
\nWhat more can he say that to you he hath said?
\nYou, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled,<\/p>\n

In every condition, in sickness, in health,
\nIn poverty\u2019s vale, or abounding in wealth;
\nAt home or abroad, on the land, on the sea,
\n\u201cAs thy days may demand shall thy strength ever be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFear not, I am with thee, O be not dismay\u2019d,
\nI, I am thy God, and will soon give thee aid;
\nI\u2019ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
\nUpheld by my righteous omnipotent hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen thro\u2019 the deep waters I call thee to go,
\nThe rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
\nFor I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
\nAnd sanctify to thee, thy deepest distress.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen thro\u2019 fiery trials thy path-way shall lie,
\nMy grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply;
\nThe flame shall not hurt thee, I only design
\nThy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven down to old age, all my people shall prove
\nMy sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
\nAnd when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
\nLike lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe soul that on Jesus hath lean\u2019d for repose,
\nI will not, I will not, desert to his foes;
\nThat soul, tho\u2019 all hell should endeavour to shake,
\nI\u2019ll never \u2013 no never- no never forsake.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The tune LYONS is by Joseph Martin Kraus (20 June 1756 \u2013 15 December 1792), was a composer in the classical era who was born in Miltenberg am Main, Germany. He moved to Sweden at age 21, and died at the age of 36 in Stockholm. He is sometimes referred to as \u201cthe Swedish Mozart\u201d, and had a life span which was very similar to that of Mozart\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, think on me<\/em> (SOUTHWELL)<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, think on me<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is a translation by the Anglican clergyman Allen William Chatfield (1808-1896) of the Greek hymn, \u039c\u03bd\u03ce\u03b5\u03bf \u03a7\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad by Synesius of Cyrene (375-430). Synesius was the Bishop of Ptolomais, one of the ancient capitals of Cyrenaica that is today part of modern day Libya.<\/p>\n

1. Lord Jesus, think on me
\nAnd purge away my sin;
\nFrom earth-born passions set me free
\nAnd make me pure within.<\/p>\n

2. Lord Jesus, think on me
\nWith many a care opprest;
\nLet me Thy loving servant be
\nAnd taste Thy promised rest.<\/p>\n

3. Lord Jesus, think on me
\nAmid the battle’s strife;
\nIn all my pain and misery
\nBe Thou my Health and Life.<\/p>\n

4. Lord Jesus, think on me
\nNor let me go astray;
\nThrough darkness and perplexity
\nPoint Thou the heavenly way.<\/p>\n

5. Lord Jesus, think on me
\nWhen floods the tempest high;
\nWhen on doth rush the enemy,
\nO Savior, be Thou nigh!<\/p>\n

6. Lord Jesus, think on me
\nThat, when the flood is past,
\nI may the eternal brightness see
\nAnd share Thy joy at last.<\/p>\n

7. Lord Jesus, think on me
\nThat I may sing above
\nTo Father, Spirit, and to Thee
\nThe strains of praise and love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is\u00a0Lord Jesus, think on me <\/strong><\/em>with Magdala<\/a>\u00a0and at\u00a0St. John\u2019s College, Cambridge<\/a>. Here it is as used in Britten’s Noye’s Fludde<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Synesius was descended from a wealthy and illustrious family which, according to the historian Edward Gibbons, could trace its descent back seventeen centuries to Spartan Kings. In his youth, he went to Alexandria and was educated under the celebrated woman Neo-Platonist, Hypatia. As an adult, he became wealthy and was known as a sportsman, a brilliant philosopher, a statesman, an eloquent orator, and a man of noble character.<\/p>\n

Also, Synesius was a friend of Augustine of Hippo. When invasions by the Goths were threatening his country, he sought to persuade Emperor Arcadius about the imminent danger, but without success. After marrying a Christian in 403, he was converted to Christianity and a few years later was made bishop of Ptolemais by popular demand in 410. In spite of his dissent from some of the tenets of the church, his outstanding character alone made him acceptable. Around 410, Synesius published a series of ten hymns in which he set forth Christian doctrine. They show the evidences of Semitic influence on classic Greek poetry. “Lord Jesus, Think On Me” is the last of the ten. After having outlived his beloved wife and lost all his sons to a plague, he died around A. D. 430 in Ptolemais, although some authorities give the date as early as 414.<\/p>\n

The tune SOUTHWELL was composed by Herbert Stephen Irons (1834 -1905).\u00a0 He became a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral under T. E. Jones. After studying music under Stephen Elvey at Oxford, he was appointed organist at St. Columba\u2019s College, a large public school at Rathfarnham, near Dublin, Ireland. He stayed there only a few months before being offered the position of organist at Southwell Minister. From Southwell, he went to Chester as assistant organist to Frederic Gunton. Three years later, he accepted an appointment at St. Andrew\u2019s Church, Nottingham, where he remained until his death.<\/p>\n

Thou art the Way<\/em> (DUNDEE)<\/span><\/p>\n

Thou art the Way <\/strong><\/em>is\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>by the Episcopal Bishop George Washington Doane (1799-1859). \u201cI am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me\u201d (John 14:6). In His sayings which begin \u201c\u1f10\u03b3\u03ce \u03b5\u1f30\u03bc\u03af, ego eimi, I am,\u201d Jesus implicitly makes a claim to divinity, because the name of God is \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4, YHWH, \u201cI AM WHO AM.\u201d Jesus is the only Way to the Father, because Jesus alone is God and man and unites the two; Jesus is the only Truth, because He reveals the Father and He reveals the ultimate meaning of creation, which is Himself, in whom and for whom the universe was created; Jesus is the only true Life, which death itself could not destroy, and which through His resurrection and the power of the Spirit He pours forth onto a dying world to rescue it from eternal death.<\/p>\n

Thou art the Way: by thee alone
\nfrom sin and death we flee;
\nand they who would the Father seek
\nmust seek him, Lord, by thee.
\nThou art the Truth: thy word alone
\ntrue wisdom can impart;
\nthou only canst inform the mind
\nand purify the heart.
\nThou art the Life: the rending tomb
\nproclaims thy conquering arm;
\nand those who put their trust in thee
\nnor death nor hell shall harm.
\nThou art the Way, the Truth, the Life:
\ngrant us that Way to know,
\nthat Truth to keep, that Life to win,
\nwhose joys eternal flow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

George Washinton Doane<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

George Washington Doane, D.D. was born at Trenton, New Jersey, May 27, 1799, and graduated at Union College, Schenectady, New York. Ordained in 1821, he was Assistant Minister at Trinity Church, New York, till 1824. In 1824 he became a Professor at Trinity College, Hartford, Conn.; in 1828 Rector of Trinity Church, Boston; and, in 1832, Bishop of New Jersey.\u00a0 Influenced by the Oxford Movement, Doane prepared the American edition of John Keble\u2019s The Christian Year<\/em> (1834).<\/p>\n

As a young priest Doane published Songs by the Way: chiefly devotional, with translations and imitations<\/em> (1824). This included many of his hymns, of which the best known are \u2018Softly now the light of day\u2019, and \u2018Thou art the way; to Thee alone\u2019. The latter was one of only two American hymns to be included in the First Edition of Hymns Ancient & Modern<\/em> (1861)<\/p>\n

Te lucis ante terminum, Rerum Creator poscimus, Ut solita clementia Sis praesul ad custodiam. Procul recedant somnia, Et noctium phantasmata: Hostemque nostrum comprime, Ne polluantur corpora. Praesta pater omnipotens, Per Jesum Christum Dominum, Qui tecum in perpetuum, Regnat cum Sancto Spiritu.<\/em><\/p>\n

O Lord, the maker of all thing, We pray thee now in this evening Us to defend through thy mercy From all deceit of our enemy. Let neither us deluded be, Good Lord, with dream or fantasy; Our hearts waking in thee thou keep That we in sin fall not on sleep. O Father, through thy blessed Son, Grant us this our petition, To whom, with the Holy Ghost always, In heaven and earth be laud and praise.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here it is sung by Gaudium<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0Coming of age during the reign of Henry VIII, Mundy’s career spanned much of England’s Tudor Dynasty, and reflected the changes in church music that accompanied the religious turmoil of that period. Mundy’s extant body of sacred music consists of two masses, six Anglican service settings, the single Kyrie, twenty-two motets (in Latin), thirteen anthems, and large number of musical settings for specific Psalms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Mundy’s best known piece, the service setting, Oh Lord, the Maker of All Things<\/em>, first published in Barnard’s partbook (First Book of Selected Church Musick<\/em>), was\u2014bizarrely\u2014originally attributed to Henry VIII. Composer and music historian Ernest Walker, held that particular contrapuntal service to be “one of the very finest of all written for the English ritual”<\/div>\n
