Blessed be the God and Father is one of Samuel Sebastian Wesleys (1810-1876) most well-known choral works and rightly so. It was written during Wesleys time as organist at Hereford Cathedral for a performance on Easter Day when only trebles and a bass were available. It consists of five sections linked: an unaccompanied choral opening, a dialogue between solo treble and the treble chorus, with passages for lower voices before and after it, and a final rousing chorus heralded by a dramatic organ chord.

Esquisses Byzantines (Byzantine Sketches) is a suite of ten organ pieces published in 1920, but written gradually over the previous decade. They were dedicated in memory of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Montmartre, 1914-1919. The closing toccata (tonights voluntary), is thought to refer to the smaller, medieval church of Saint Pierre-de-Montmartre, an institution which had been consecrated over 700 years before the creation of the basilica. The words Tu es petra refer to the biblical reference in Matthew 16:18, Thou art Peter, and upon this rock [petra] I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

The main melody for the trebles is skilfully combined with the ancient plainchant Ubi caritas (sung by the lower voices, in Latin): Where charity and love are, God is there.

For he that is mighty hath magnified me and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath shewed strength with his arm he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel as he promised to our forefa-thers, Abraham and his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Many of the children live and work on the streets as beggars; as such, they are often socially excluded and deprived of opportunities and respect. Their purpose is to enable disadvantaged children to realize the possibilities for themselves and change their own lives for the better. God is gone up by Gerald Finzi (1901-1956) has one of the most arresting openings of any choral piece. The organ introduction and the first choral phrase together establish the character of this Ascension-tide anthem. The first stanza of the poem is based on verses from two psalms celebrating the majestic completion of Christs time on earth, while the second stanza is a more delicate and reflective passage. Finzi returns to the opening character building to a grand conclusion as the opening words are repeated. God is gone up with a triumphant shout, The Lord with sounding trumpets' melodies: Sing praise, sing praises out, Unto our King sing praise seraphicwise! Lift up your heads, ye lasting doors, they sing, And let the King of Glory enter in!

The Lullaby Trust promotes expert advice on safer baby sleep and provides special support for anyone bereaved through Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

The young English composer, Will Todd (b. 1970) , composed his Mass in Blue in 2003. The work is a unique fusion of sacred choral music and jazz, combining the Chapel Choir and a Jazz Quartet. Some sections are fully notated but others use 12-bar blues sequences with plenty of scope for improvisation. The Benedictus starts with a swing groove dominated by a solo double bass. Each voice then enters with its own repeating pattern, starting with the lowest. The music is gradually invaded by a more driven beat leading to the final section where a funk riff establishes a very different style from the opening.

House Prayer Week:

Half Term Sunday 24th May is the Feast of Pentecost or Whitsunday; the day on which Christians recall the sending out, by God, of the Holy Spirit to the world. There are many different names for this Spirit. The one which I prefer is Paraclete, which comes from the Greek paracleetos and is often further translated as Advocate or Comforter. I prefer this one, rather than the other more usual terms of Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit, precisely for those two terms Advocate and Comforter, which seem to sum up best of all the workings of the Holy Spirit in our lives. For what Pentecost really represents, is the comforting realisation that God in the person of the Father, in the person of the Son and in the person and movements of the Paraclete, is with us on earth and that it did not all end at the crucifixion, or at the resurrection or indeed at the Ascension. Pentecost allows us to see through that text so often misunderstood around churches: He is Risen. He is not here! For through the workings of the Holy Paraclete we can feel the strength of God helping us in our dealings with and in the world as his Advocates and in his advocacy of ourselves as his people. We can also feel the Comfort of his presence here on earth both in the world and, most especially, at the Holy Eucharist. The Collect for today in the Book of Common Prayer, a magnificent prayer, tells us that when it says, God, who at this time didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people, by the sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit; Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort. That isnt just some meaningless phrase in quaint olde-worlde English but a profound statement of the great love of God for his people and our immense privilege in being able to recognise and gain comfort from that knowledge. For yes, we are indeed sinners, but we are sinners whose God has come down and lived as one of us, has died for us, harrowed the depths of hell for us, risen from the dead for us, ascended into heaven for us and now grants his ever-presence for us. That is what we mean when we describe the Holy Paraclete as Comforter. For what could be more comforting than the ever-presence of God?

Blessed be the God and Father is one of Samuel Sebastian Wesleys (1810-1876) most well-known choral works and rightly so. It was written during Wesleys time as organist at Hereford Cathedral for a performance on Easter Day when only trebles and a bass were available. It consists of five sections linked: an unaccompanied choral opening, a dialogue between solo treble and the treble chorus, with passages for lower voices before and after it, and a final rousing chorus heralded by a dramatic organ chord.

Hymn 130 (i) All hail the power of Jesus name Reading James 1:12-18 Saturday 4th July 10.00am Skinners Day Service Hail! gladdening Light, of His pure glory poured Who is th'immortal Father, heavenly, blest, Holiest of Holies Jesus Christ our Lord! Now we are come to the Sun's hour of rest; The lights of evening round us shine; We hymn the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit divine! Worthiest art thou at all times to be sung With undefiled tongue, Son of our God, giver of life, alone: Therefore in all the world thy glories, Lord, they own.

Music: Charles Wood (1866-1926) Words: translated from the early Christian hymn .
