Service Music:

Voluntary   Introduction-Choral     Leon Boellmann (1837-1897)
Morning Song     Joe Utterback (b. 1944)

Processional Hymn 372    Praise to the living God!    Leoni

Gloria in excelsis S278     William Mathias (1934-1992)

Sequence Hymn 630    Thanks to God whose Word was spoken    Wylde Green

Offertory Anthem    Come Sunday   Duke Ellington (1899-1974)

Famous jazz musician and composer Duke Ellington didn’t like categories of any kind. He resisted the designation of “jazz” as too narrow for his compositions and preferred that his works be known just as “music.” This applied to other areas of his life as well. He once said, “I don’t believe in categories of any kind, and when you speak of problems between races in the U.S.A., you are referring to categories again.” The song is ultimately about the providence of God in all our lives. The refrain addresses God directly, “Lord, dear Lord above, God Almighty, God of love,” and then makes a petition, “please look down and see my people through.” The stanzas point to hope and heaven, concluding that “With God’s blessing we can make it through eternity.” (notes courtesy C. Michael Hawn)

Sanctus S128    William Mathias

Fraction Anthem S166   Agnus Dei     Gerald Near (b. 1942)

Communion Anthem    Like as the hart desireth the waterbrooks   Herbert Howells (1892-1983)

A powerful, pleading “where is my God” is the central message of the Howells Psalm setting, but even more powerful is the imagery of the deer in placid fields, yet thirsty. From the first notes of the introduction, the listener is drawn into a musical landscape, which sounds as if it was already in progress long before we began hearing it.

Closing Hymn 530    Spread, O spread, thou mighty word    Gott sei Dank

Voluntary    Fantasia in C Major, BWV 570    Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
