MUSIC NOTES
Prelude & Fugue in g Minor Marcel Dupré 1886-1971
During his final years as a student before World War I, Dupré’s teacher, Charles Marie Widor, encouraged him to enter the Prix de Rome competition for musical composition. (After two failed attempts, Dupré finally won the competition in 1914.) However, Dupré wasn’t really interested in this competition, and after his first failed attempt in 1912, Widor suggested that he should spend his summer holiday composing something he would enjoy. Dupré chose to refresh his spirits by writing some organ music, and the result was his first major work as a mature composer: Trois Preludes & Fugues, Op.7. When he finally showed them to Widor, he could not help exclaiming ‘Ah, mon cher Maître, I wrote them in the hope that you would free me, free me from the Prix de Rome!’
The Three Preludes & Fugues were revolutionary in both conception and technique, but these pieces were hardly a commercial success at that time due to their difficulty. Dupré’s flawless technique resulted in a set of prelude and fugues that required extreme dexterity in the feet and hands to play, and at the time few organists in France had the technique to pull them off. Consequently, they remained in manuscript form for eight years, until Alphonse Leduc finally agreed to publish them in 1920, when the composer’s name had become better known. By the mid-20th century, the Preludes and Fugues became standard repertoire, but it is difficult to overestimate their originality in those early days, when some pronounced them ‘unplayable’. The prelude and fugue format had been around for centuries before Dupré even picked up his pen. However, his set almost rewrote the rules for the format going for-ward. From the way each fugue is thematically linked to its prelude, to the way each move-ment has its own individuality, color, and character, the pieces set new ground in originality.
The third Prelude and Fugue in g minor (today’s Prelude and Postlude) is the most innova-tive of the three. The lightness and dexterity of its running 16th note triplet figuration, accom-panies the soft texture produced by the single melody line in the pedal. This melody eventu-ally develops into large 8 note chords (4 of those notes are played with my 2 feet!) by the conclusion, all accompanied by the scurrying 16th notes in the left hand. By the end of the prelude, your left hand feels like it might fall off! But Dupré shows us no mercy with the haunting Jig style fugue that follows. In the first two Preludes and Fugues, both movements are conceived as a single entity in terms of mood and registration, but here their character is quite different, and the lively jig-like fugue makes a wonderful contrast to the gentle colors of the prelude. Unity between the movements is established by the return of the melody from the prelude, which subtly infiltrates the contrapuntal texture of the fugue until it domi-nates the conclusion of the piece in thrilling full organ chords in the hands over the recapitu-lation of the fugue subject in the feet.

The First Lesson Genesis 32.22-31
The same night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, ‘Let me go, for the day is breaking.’ But Jacob said, ‘I will not let you go, unless you bless me.’ So he said to him, ‘What is your name?’ And he said, ‘Jacob.’ Then the man said, ‘You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with humans, and have prevailed.’ Then Jacob asked him, ‘Please tell me your name.’ But he said, ‘Why is it that you ask my name?’ And there he blessed him. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, ‘For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved.’ The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.

Psalm 121 (sung by choir) BCP 779
The Epistle 2 Timothy 3.14-4.5
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it, and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Je-sus. All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that everyone who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: proclaim the message; be per-sistent whether the time is favourable or unfavourable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths. As for you, always be so-ber, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry ful-ly.
Reader The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.

Breathe your Spirit over the whole earth and make us your new creation, the
Body of Christ given for the world you have made.
In the fullness of time bring us, with the ever-blessed Virgin Mary, blessed
David, and all your saints, from every tribe and language and people and na-
tion, to feast at the banquet prepared from the foundation of the world.
Through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, for ever and ever. AMEN.
Presider And now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to
say:
People and Presider Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
14
Glory and honor and praise to you, holy and living God.
To deliver us from the power of sin and death and to reveal the riches of your grace, you looked with favor upon Mary, your willing servant, that she might conceive and bear a son, Jesus, the holy child of God.
Living among us, Jesus loved us.
He broke bread with outcasts and sinners, healed the sick, and proclaimed good news to the poor.
He yearned to draw all the world to himself, yet we were heedless of his call to walk in love. Then, the time came from him to complete upon the cross the sacrifice of his life, and to be glorified by you.
On the night before he died for us, Jesus was at table with his friends. He took bread, gave thanks to you, broke it, and gave it to them, and said: “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
As supper was ending, Jesus took the cup of wine. Again, he gave thanks to you, gave it to them, and said: “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Now gathered at your table, O God of all creation, and remembering Christ, crucified and risen, who was and is and is to come, we offer to you our gifts of bread and wine, and ourselves, a living sacrifice.
Pour out your Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Body and Blood of Christ.

Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, “Grant me justice against my opponent.” For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, “Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.” ’ And the Lord said, ‘Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God grant justice to his cho-sen ones who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long in helping them? I tell you, he will quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?’

The Homily The Rev’d Glen Evans

After the homily, the People stand and join in saying the Church's early Statement of Faith:
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake, he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
13
We praise you and we bless you, holy and gracious God, source of life abun-dant. From before time you made ready the creation. Your Spirit moved over the deep and brought all things into being: sun, moon, and stars; earth, winds, and waters; and every living thing. You made us in your image, and taught us to walk in your ways. But we rebelled against you, and wandered far away; and yet, as a mother cares for her children, you would not forget us. Time and again you called us to live in the fullness of your love. And so this day we join with Saints and Angels in the chorus of praise that rings through eternity, lifting our voices to magnify you as we sing:
The Sanctus and Benedictus S-129
