Surge, illuminare, Jerusalem<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0 William Byrd (1540-1623)<\/span><\/p>\n

Surge, illuminare Jerusalem: quia venit lumen tuum, et gloria Domini super te orta est. Alleluia. <\/em><\/p>\n

Arise, be enlightened, O Jerusalem: for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSurge,\u00a0Illuminare\u201d is typical of the densely written, detailed counterpoint of Byrd\u2019s Latin motets. The opening figure for \u201csurge\u201d (meaning \u201carise\u201d) spins rhythmically forward. Byrd maintains a driving quality that peaks in the swinging motive for the last phrase \u201csuper te orta est.\u201d The fastest rhythms are saved for the highly imitative \u201calleluia.\u201d Published in Byrd\u2019s second book of\u00a0Gradualia<\/i>, this piece was the result of a mistake on Byrd\u2019s part and therefore serves no liturgical function. He intended it as a setting of the Gradual for the Epiphany mass, but accidentally used a related text from the lesson of that mass rather than the correct Gradual text. Realizing his mistake, he moved this piece out of the sequence of the Epiphany mass to its final position in the\u00a0Gradualia<\/i>. Nevertheless, the sense of the text is appropriate for the Epiphany season, where we celebrate the coming of the light and the glory of the Lord.<\/p>\n

Almighty and everlasting God<\/em>, <\/a>Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625)<\/span><\/p>\n

Almighty and everlasting God, mercifully look upon our infirmities, and in all our dangers and necessities stretch forth thy right hand to help and defend us, through Christ our Lord. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n

Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) was one of the great English composers between Byrd and Purcell, excelling in many idioms, including keyboard music, verse anthem for choir and organ, and especially music for viol consort. The text of \u201cAlmighty and everlasting God\u201d is taken from the traditional Book of Common Prayer collect for the Third Sunday after Epiphany, read by the priest in today\u2019s service after the Kyrie and Gloria. Gibbons pays particular attention to the musical shape of each line; listen, for example, to the syncopated entrance that pulls the line forward at the high point of the piece on the text \u201cstretch forth thy right hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

How bright appears the morning star<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is a translation by William Mercer (1811\u20141873\u00a0 ) of Wie sch\u00f6n leuchtet der Morgenstern<\/em> by Philipp Nicolai (1556\u20141608). The hymn is based on Psalm 45, a wedding song and on Revelation 22:11. Nicolai, a Lutheran minister, \u00a0wrote in 1597, during a terrible pestilence, when he saw thirty parishioners a day buried under his window. The original version of the hymn uses the extravagant language of bridal mysticism, but William Mercer changed it into a sober celebration of God\u2019s love and power, manifested in the Incarnation. Adapting a tune written for Psalm 100 found in Wolff K\u00f6phel’s Psalter<\/em> (1538), Nicolai composed the tune WIE SCH\u00d6N LEUCHTET, which was published with the text in 1599.<\/p>\n

Lead, Kindly Light<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/a>(LUX BENIGNA). Newman write this while sick and becalmed at sea in June 1933. Angry at the state of disunion and supineness in the Church he still loved and in which he still believed; confident that he had \u2018a mission,\u2019 \u2018a work to do in England;\u2019 passionately longing for home and the converse of friends; sick in body to prostration, and, as some around him feared, even unto death; feeling that he should not die but live, and that he must work, but knowing not what that work was to be, how it was to be done, or to what it might tend, he breathed forth the impassioned and pathetic prayer, one of the birth-pangs, it might be called, of the Oxford movement of 1833. LUX BENIGNA was composed by John Bacchus Dykes (1823-1876).<\/p>\n

Christ, whose glory fills the skies<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>was written by Charles Wesley (1707\u20141788). He begins the hymn with the antithesis between light and night. In stanza two, Wesley uses the first words of each line to tell the story of redemption. The first three lines begin with \u201cDark,\u201d \u201cUnaccompanied,\u201d and \u201cJoyless.\u201d The plight of humanity has been set. The next two lines begin with \u201ctill\u201d which represents hope for salvation. The repeating of \u201cmore and more\u201d implies the idea that we can never see enough of the \u201cRadiancy divine\u201d which has \u201c[pierced] the gloom of sin and grief.\u201d Scripture references are present throughout: John 1:9,the \u201ctrue light\u201d; \u00a0Isaiah 2:6 and Malachi 4:2, the \u201cSun of Righteousness\u201d; Isaiah 14:12 and 2 Peter 1:19, the \u201dDay Star.\u201d The tune RATISBON<\/a> is by Johann Gottlob Werner (1777-1822).<\/p>\n
