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

\u201cSonata III: Andante tranquillo\u201d Felix Mendelssohn<\/span><\/p>\n

Organ Postlude<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSonata III: Con moto maestoso\u201d Mendelssohn<\/p>\n

Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was responsible for reviving the music of J.S. Bach in the 19th century. The second movement of this sonata is a brief yet tender, \u201cAndante tranquillo,\u201d while the opening of the first movement, \u201cCon moto maestoso,\u201d makes for a grand and joyful postlude.<\/span><\/p>\n

Offertory Anthem<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOf the Father\u2019s love begotten,\u201d Erik Spangler<\/p>\n

Of the Father\u2019s love begotten, Ere the worlds began to be,
\nHe is Alpha and Omega, He is the source, the ending He,
\nOf the things that are and have been, and that future years may see,
\nEvermore and evermore.<\/p>\n

This is He whom they in old time chanted of with one accord,
\nWhom the voices of the prophets promised in their faithful word;
\nNow He shines, the long-expected; Let creation praise its Lord,
\nEvermore and evermore.<\/p>\n

O ye heights of heav\u2019n adore Him; Angel hosts, His praises sing:
\nAll dominions bow before Him, and extol our Lord and King.
\nLet no tongue on earth be silent, ev\u2019ry voice in concert ring,
\nEvermore and evermore.<\/p>\n

Christ, to Thee, with God the Father and, with Holy Ghosts, to Thee,
\nHymn and chant, and high thanksgiving, and unwearied praises be;
\nHonor, glory, and dominion, and eternal victory,
\nEvermore and evermore.<\/p>\n

A note from our composer: \u201cOf the Father\u2019s love begotten\u201d marks a return to liturgical composition for the Mount Calvary Choir, after a hiatus of several years. As with my earlier compositions for the choir, the harmonic language is indebted to early music of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, as well as 20th-century approaches to dissonance within an established mode. The form follows a general hymn structure, marked by the refrain of \u201cEvermore and evermore!\u201d at the end of each verse. The number of voices expands from three to four, reduced to two, and then built back up to four voices as a culmination of energy for the final verse. -Erik Spangler<\/p>\n

Communion Anthem<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAve Maria\u201d<\/a> Jacques Arcadelt<\/p>\n

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
\nDominus tecum,
\nbenedicta tu in mulieribus,
\net benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
\nSancta Maria, ora pro nobis.
\nAmen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hail Mary, full of grace,
\nthe Lord is with thee,
\nblessed art thou among women,
\nand blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
\nHoly Mary, pray for us.
\nAmen.<\/p>\n

Arcadelt (1507-1568) was among the first generation of Italian madrigal composers in the 16th century. The clarity and smoothness of his vocal writing is also heard here in his sacred music.<\/p>\n

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

O Come, O Come Emmanuel<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a translation of the Latin hymn\u00a0Veni veni Emmanuel<\/em>, which in turn is based on the seven O Antiphons, which are sung in the monastic office at the Magnificat on the days preceding Christmas. These antiphons are of ancient origin, dating back to at least the ninth century. The hymn itself, though, is much more recent. Its first appeared in the 18th century. It is interesting to note that the initial words of the actual antiphons in reverse order form an acrostic: O Emmanuel, O Rex, O Oriens, O Clavis, O Radix (\u201cvirgula\u201d in the hymn), O Adonai, O Sapientia. ERO CRAS can be loosely translated as \u201cI will be there tomorrow\u201d.<\/p>\n

__________<\/p>\n

Creator of the stars of light<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>is a translation by John Mason Neale (1818\u20131866) of the 9th<\/sup>\u00a0century\u00a0Creator alme siderum<\/em>. The translation captures the essence of the original Latin. Contrasting \u201ceverlasting light\u201d with the \u201cstars of night\u201d in the first stanza is a common theological theme of Latin hymns. Stanza two refers to the great New Testament hymn found in\u00a0Philippians\u00a0<\/em>2:10-11: \u201cThat at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.\u201d<\/p>\n
