Anthems<\/strong><\/p>\n

Non vos relinquam orphanos<\/em>, William Byrd<\/a> (1540-1623)<\/p>\n

Non vos relinquam orphanos. Alleluia.<\/em>
\nVado, et venio ad vos. Alleluia.<\/em>
\nEt gaudebit, cor vestrum. Alleluia.<\/em><\/p>\n

I will not leave you comfortless. Alleluia.<\/em>
\nI go, and I will come to you. Alleluia.<\/em>
\nAnd your heart shall rejoice. Alleluia.<\/em><\/p>\n

This poignantly brief and tightly-knit motet from the 1607 Gradualia conceals its contrapuntal complexity (including beautifully interwoven alleluias) behind a deceptively simple, flowing texture. Byrd somehow manages to combine a feeling of the sadness of Christ\u2019s parting from the Apostles with the joy he promises for them in the future.<\/p>\n

__________<\/em><\/p>\n

O Rex Gloriae<\/em>, William Byrd<\/a> (1540-1623)<\/p>\n

O Rex gloriae, Domine virtutum,<\/em>
\nqui triumphator hodie super omnes coelos ascendisti;<\/em>
\nne derelinquas nos orphanos,<\/em>
\nsed mitte promissum Patris in nos,<\/em>
\nspiritum veritatis. Alleluia.<\/em><\/p>\n

O King of glory, Lord of all power,<\/em>
\nwho ascended to heaven on this day triumphant over all;<\/em>
\ndo not leave us as orphans,<\/em>
\nbut send us the Father\u2019s promise,<\/em>
\nthe spirit of truth. Alleluia.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

The Head that once was crowned with thorns<\/a> <\/strong><\/em>(ST MAGNUS) <\/em>was written by\u00a0 Thomas Kelly (1769-1854), who based this hymn on Hebrews 2: 9-10 which speaks of Christ\u2019s glory and the universal message of grace that is available because of Christ\u2019s suffering: \u201cBut we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelly employs the poetic device of hypotyposis \u2013 a vivid description of a scene or events in words \u2013 that provides the singer with a glimpse of the splendor of heaven, which is contrasted with the suffering of the cross and the suffering of all who follow Christ on earth.<\/p>\n

ST. MAGNUS first appeared in Henry Playford’s Divine Companio<\/em>n (1707 ed.) as an anonymous tune with soprano and bass parts. The tune was later credited to Jeremiah Clark\u00a0 (c. 1670 – 1707), who was a chorister in the Chapel Royal and sang at the coronation of James II in 1685. Later he served as organist in Winchester College, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Chapel Royal. He shot himself to death in a fit of depression, apparently because of an unhappy romance. Supported by Queen Anne, Clark was a prominent composer in his day, writing songs for the stage as well as anthems, psalm tunes, and harpsichord works. One well-known piece, the Trumpet Voluntary<\/em>, was long attributed to his contemporary Henry Purcell but is now recognized as Clark’s composition.<\/p>\n

The tune is named for the Church of St. Magnus the Martyr, built by Christopher Wren in 1676 on Lower Thames Street near the old London Bridge, England. ST. MAGNUS consists of two long lines, each of which has its own sense of climax. The octave leap in the final phrase has a stunning effect, like a vault in a Gothic cathedral.<\/p>\n

__________<\/p>\n

Crown Him with Many Crowns\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (DIADEMATA) is by the Anglican Matthew Bridges (1800-1894), who wrote six verses of this hymn, which is based on Rev<\/em>\u00a01: 12: \u201cand on His head were many crowns.\u201d But Bridges converted to Catholicism in 1848 under the influence of John Henry Newman, and Godfrey Thring (1823-1903) thought the hymn was too Catholic, and wrote six more verses, so hymnals, depending on their leanings, use different selections of verses. In the 1940 Hymnal the first and last verses are by Bridges, the middle three by Thring.<\/p>\n

The tune DIADEMATA is by Sir George Job Elvey (1816-1893), private organist to Queen Victoria, and is in the simple Handelian style.<\/p>\n
