Hi everyone this is what we sang at

it was the last full evensong of University Term so it was a big one with all the choirs

Looks good, trebs. Especially Hear My Words, I like it very much!

Last Sunday in College Chapel, 10.30am
Processional - I vow to thee, my country
Responses - Smith
Psalm 94 [choir]
Hymn - At the name of Jesus
Canticles - Purcell in D
Hymn - Praise my soul, the King of Heaven
Anthem - Vox Dicentis : Clama - Naylor (I love this!)
Address - The Rev'd Dr Allan Doig, Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford
Hymn - Love divine, all loves excelling + descant
Blessing, Final Responses
Voluntary - Carillon - Louis Vierne

After this I played the organ for the baptism of my House Master's daughter - 20 minutes of music beforehand, a six verse hymn (Amazing Grace, ugh), and then an 8 minute voluntary ... for no charge, of course! If he wasn't my House Master...

Lots of lovely music for sure. Cheesy

Trebs, what a great service. I would love to have been there and I sure the trebles were fantastic. Cool

The congregation sat in the choir stalls? That would have been fun, though the chapel has wonderful acoustics and the music would have been heard clearly anywhere.

Your dad fell asleep? Haha, did you know that in some chapels, even Disciples have been found sleeping?:

Well at least the stalls keep one from falling to the floor:

If one is going to fall asleep in church it is probably better to sit at the back:

Well now this is just plain ridiculous:

If one is that tired, one would be better off outside the chapel:

Don't be too hard on poor old dad, there are worse places to get caught falling asleep:

The service at Eton looks great as well TS. I listened to the Southwell broadcast again just last night and I really enjoyed the Vox Dicentis : Clama as well. Of course I listened to the Eton cd (which I had downloaded) for Hear My Words, Ye People. An excellent rendition (I have enjoyed the whole cd.). Also, to anyone interested in this cd, the Signum records website had a pdf of the cd booklet, so that if you purchase the download, you can still have the booklet. Yes, I only just found this out yesterday. embarrassed

It even has biographies of the soloists. Cheesy

thanks TS and your choir sings it brilliant mum & I love hearing it on the cd Cheesy

your service also looks like it was fantastic, was it a special one?
mum LOVES vox dicentis too but i dont know if it might be because her recording is Ben singing the solo? Wink

Vierne is my favourite and i got to learn Carillon, its fantastic but probably i needed to work harder on it. embarrassed

I put it away to learn Vierne's Berceuse which i played for my exam. Cheesy

the baptism sounds fun (apart from six verses of AG yuk!) what did you play for voluntary?
I was told services will be £60 (thats at a local church)and with your talent maybe you should get charging but I guess not for housemasters daughter though

thanks we all really enjoyed ourselves but it got very hot in there. our soprano and bass soloists were definitely brilliant and the soprano is graduating now and then shes going to sing opera. our DoM likes to move us around the chapel when its combined choir. yes dad fell asleep (he was sitting next to a visitor as well!) but its his loss and wait til he sees these posts, he probably wont do it again! Tongue

the picturse are very funny! Grin

Trebs, my dad fell asleep ONCE in church. I was your age and HE was in the choir loft which is above and in PLAIN SIGHT of the congregation. It happened during the sermon and the pastor stopped preaching and jokingly told him that he hoped his sermon wasn't boring him. Was I embarrassed? Yes, more than words can say. I was sitting in the congregation on about the 4th row where everyone could see me. Hey maybe your mum and dad should stop at Starbucks first next time! Grin

Sunday 22nd June, in College Chapel at 10.30am
Leavers' Service
Prelude - Carillon - Louis Vierne
Processional - How happy is he born and taught
Introit - God be in my head - Radcliffe
Sentence
Responses - Reading
Psalm 150 [cong] - Stanford
1st Lesson - the Vice-Provost
Canticle - Jubilate from Collegium Regale - Howells
Hymn - Lord, thou hast brought us to our journey's end
2nd Lesson - the Provost
Anthem - Hallelujah Chorus from 'Messiah' - Handel*
Prayers, Grace
Address - Mr Tom Batty (a leaving House Master)
Hymn - Jerusalem
Anthem - The Founder's Prayer - Ley
Blessing
Final Responses - Naylor
Voluntary - Toccata from Symphonie no 5 - Widor

* This is a 'congregational anthem' - the congregation joins in for various parts of the piece (generally unison parts), while the choir does the full thing. When done badly it's terrible, but when you have 800+ people singing, it is quite exciting!

A nice service, albeit the fact that we had to leave at 6.45am to get there for the practice! And then my mother wasn't allowed to go (as it was so full) so she sat in my room and did her marking!

Who played those incredible organ works, was it Mr. Goode? That is sad that your Mum couldn't go in to hear, at least she's got all her marking done now...hopefully. Leaver's service? Is this the last service of the school year...or for young gentlemen actually leaving Eton?

The organist played Bach and Lefebure-Wely.
