SynopsisUnless you're just mad about 18th century history, it's unlikely you know off the top of your head who the winners and losers were in the War of the Spanish Succession. Suffice it to say, on today's date in 1713, to celebrate the successful resolution of that conflict, a festive choral “Te Deum” was performed at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. It was written by a very ambitious 28-year old German composer named George Friedrich Handel. We're not sure if Handel wrote his “Utrecht Te Deum” in response to an invitation from the British royal family or wrote it “on spec” to win their favor. In any case, when performed by the Royal Musicians and the choir of the Chapel Royal on July 7, 1713, it made a tremendous impression.Handel's first royal employer was King George the First, and three years after Handel's death, King George the THIRD sat on the throne. Now, King George the Third may have suffered from madness and lost the American colonies, but at least he DID know a good composer when he heard one. He idolized Handel and saw to it that the composer was buried in Westminster Abbey. Music Played in Today's ProgramGeorge Frederic Handel (1685 - 1757) Utrecht Te Deum St Paul's Cathedral Choir; The Parley of Instruments; John Scott, conductor. Hyperion 67009

This Advent Procession with Lessons and Carols is sung by the Cathedral Choir. The officiant is the Rev. Canon George Maxwell. Organized around the O Antiphons – beautiful plainchant texts which invoke the Messiah to return, sung since the 8th century at Vespers on the seven evenings leading up to Christmas – the choir gradually moves into the chancel, stopping at various stations around the Cathedral nave. Each of the biblical prophecies is expanded upon by the singing of carols, anthems, and hymns which anticipate the coming of Christ, culminating in a glorious setting of the Magnificat (The Song of Mary, Luke 1:46-55) and the singing of “O come, O come, Emmanuel,” the text of which is an English translation of the very O Antiphons that the choir has sung throughout the service. Choral repertoire includes:Great O AntiphonsRichard Marlow (1939-2013), Advent Responsory“Lo! he comes with clouds descending” HelmsleyBen Parry (b.1965), Adam lay ybounden“Creator of the stars of night” Conditor alme siderumFrancisco Guerrero (1528-1599), Rorate caeli“Come, thou Redeemer of the earth” Puer nobis nasciturKerensa Briggs (b.1991), A tender shoot“Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming” Es ist ein Ros entsprungenCharles Beaudrot, Jr. (b. 1951), Comfort, comfort ye my peopleHoward Helvey (b. 1968), There is no Rose of such virtuearr.

The psalms contain some of the most beautiful lines in Scripture, lines that inspire and comfort us when we need them most. They draw us into a life of prayer and praise and have been the prayerbook of the church, and often its hymnbook too, for 2,000 years. Jesus himself knew them and prayed them. And they are profoundly honest about what human life is really like, from the heights to the depths. They take us on a rollercoaster of emotions, from joy to anguish, praise to fury, torment to a place of deep peace. They teach us that we can bring everything - our real lives, our doubts, joys, and even our very darkest feelings - into the presence of God. In this film, Biblical scholar Paula Gooder introduces some of her favourite psalms and their themes of joy, lament, comfort and reconciliation, and reflect on how they can draw us closer to God. The film includes live music, with members of the St Paul's Cathedral Consort performing settings of psalms from across the centuries. Dr Paula Gooder is Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral. She is the author of many academic and popular books on theology, faith and the Bible including 'Journalling the Psalms: A guide for prayer and reflection' (Hodder 2022). St Paul's Cathedral Choir is led by Andrew Carwood MBE and is one of the leading choirs of the world. The reader is Adjoa Andoh, who plays lead roles in 'Bridgerton', 'Doctor Who' and 'Casualty', as well at the National Theatre and with the Royal Shakespeare Company. She is a Licenced Lay Minister in the Church of England.

Synopsis On today's date in 1773, the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa was visiting the country estate of Prince Nikolaus of Esterhazy. Among the attractions there were an opera house, a marionette theater, and the Prince's impressive chamber orchestra led by Franz Joseph Haydn. It's possible that Haydn's Symphony No. 48 was performed for the Empress – in any case, this symphony came to be nicknamed the “Maria Theresa.” We do know that Haydn and his orchestra did perform for the Empress – and that they were all dressed up in Chinese costumes for one performance during her visit! Among other “duties as assigned,” Haydn shot three wild game hens that were cooked up for the Empress's dinner. Ah, the life of a court musician in the 18th century! It's also reported that Haydn told the Empress an amusing story from his childhood in Vienna. Apparently repair work was being done on St. Stephens Cathedral when Haydn was a boy soprano in the Cathedral Choir. The Empress was annoyed at the racket made by choirboys playing on the scaffolding and ordered that the next one caught playing up there would get a spanking. The following day Haydn climbed the scaffold, was caught, and received the promised punishment. Apparently they both got a good laugh out of recalling the story.

The remit of the FODMS is to promote the basic ABC of Divine Mercy which is Ask for His Mercy, Be Merciful to Other, Completely Trust. The FODMS are establishing a Divine Mercy network while promoting the Good News of the Gospel. They do this by hosting an annual conference. “This conference is a great opportunity to spread this message. Pope Francis called the laity to evangelise and to be bold in our faith and share it with our brothers and sisters in serving one another; this is what The Friends of Divine Mercy Scotland are trying to do through the work they do and offering this conference.” The FODMS also work in prisons, churches, schools and on the streets of our cities promoting the values of the Gospel and encouraging people to pray. The FODMS take the Mercy Bus out each year for one week offering the sacrament of reconciliation and give away rosaries, divine mercy chaplets and miraculous medals to all they meet. Over 200 people came on board the bus for the sacrament of reconciliation this year while adhering to the Government guidelines regarding COVID19. They gave away over 1,200 medals and prayers.

Franz Haydn's influence in the world of classical music is unquestioned, and it all began when eight-year-old Franz was asked to sing with the highly respected Saint Stephen's Cathedral Choir in Vienna.  It was here, at St. Stephen's, where young Franz learned to play the violin, the piano, and was taught the basics of musical composition.   Following his experience at St. Stephens, he trained for three years with Italian composer Nicola Porpora before coming to the attention of Austria's influential Esterhazy family.  Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy brought Hayden into his court and put him in charge of the palace orchestra.    Now, with his own orchestra and almost unlimited time to compose various forms of music, the appointment was perfect for one of the world's greatest musical composers - a composer who literally lost his head because of his musical genius.     Stories from History's Dust Bin is a 3-volume set of historical short stories.  These are the nuggets of gold that had fallen by the wayside… the little known and unusual.  Many of these gems were destined to be forever lost until they were collected, dusted off and brought back to life by author Wayne Winterton.   Each podcast episode features one of over 450 short stories from either Winterton's Award-Winning Stories from Dust Bin series* or the companion volume, From Ace to Zamboni: 101 More Dust Bin Stories, as narrated by either the author or his son, William, or daughter, Jana.   If you enjoy today's episode, please leave us 5 stars and a glowing review on iTunes!  And if you don't want to wait a whole week to hear another story from the Dust Bin, consider picking up the books on Amazon (either downloadable or good ol' fashioned ink and paper).   The Entire History's Dust Bin Collection Is Available On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3bDrip4

This week we speak with one of Australia's most distinguished Church Musicians, Sir.

Mary Grahame Hunter is joined by Jeremy David Tarrant, Canon Precentor and Organist at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul - Detroit, for episode three of Sing Joyfully, continuing the series of psalms and psalm singing. The episode closes with a recording of the Cathedral Choir singing Psalm 32 in plainchant.

This week is the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A group of international leaders founded by Nelson Mandela called 'The Elders' is calling on people across the globe to reflect, pause and recognise the scale of the nuclear tragedy and they are inviting people to join them in crafting an origami paper crane and adding a message of hope. Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland, is an Elder and she tells Edward Stourton why the unravelling of nuclear arms controls and the escalation of nuclear proliferation is still a global existential threat. The decision by the Dean and Chapter of Sheffield Cathedral to disband the choir has been criticised by former choir members and parents of current singers. They tell us why they are unhappy about the move to refresh the cathedral's musical offering and build a choir that reflects the diversity of the city. The Dean, the Very Reverend Peter Bradley joins us live to explain why he had to close this choir so he can 'build the best, if not the best cathedral choir in the UK'. In normal times nearly two and a half million pilgrims from around the world would be expected in the Saudi Arabian cities of Mecca and Medina for the week-long Hajj. Last month Saudi authorities banned international visitors in an effort to limit the spread of Covid-19. Around 10,000 people living in the country have been allowed to attend. BBC reporter Faarea Masud tells Edward that the impact of the cancellation is not only a spiritual blow for those hoping to attend, but it has had a massive impact on businesses too. Producers: David Cook Dan Tierney Series Producer: Amanda Hancox

We talk parable of the sower, humbly contrast cancel culture with Christian models of penitence, forgiveness, & reconciliation, and think about the powerful beauty and old Hollywood nostalgia of some of Tarantino's recent set pieces in "Inglorious Basterds" and One Upon a Time in Hollywood" (as well as his affecting homages to genre cinema).

In this morning's service from Glasgow Cathedral Rev Mark Johnstone reflects on some of the issues surrounding our Church, community and the world on this the fourteenth Sunday without a congregation worshiping in the Cathedral. There will be music provided by the Cathedral Choir including the anthem "Litany to the Holy Spirit" by P Hurford with Rachel Thomas (soprano) and directed by Andrew Forbes and with musical accompaniment by Malcolm Sim, the Cathedral organist.

Music and faith, music and belief - what's the difference, and how can music illuminate our lived experiences of faith? This is the first of five episodes featuring conversations I recorded this summer with the plenary speakers of the Christian Congregational Music Conference. It was a joy to talk with them, and I'm so glad I get to share these conversations with you! (Scroll down if you'd like to read the transcript of this episode.) About Jonathan Arnold: Rev. Dr. Jonathan Arnold is the Dean of Divinity at Magdalen College, Oxford. Before ordination, he was a professional vocalist, including with St. Paul’s Cathedral Choir and The Sixteen. He is the author of several books, including Music and Faith: Conversations in a Post-Secular Age and Sacred Music in Secular Society.

Transcription of Music and the Church Ep. 41: Music and Faith in a Post-Secular Age with Jonathan Arnold Sarah Bereza: Let's start out by talking about your relationship to music and your own faith background. Jonathan Arnold: I have always had a love of music and particularly of singing. So I've been in choirs ever since I was a young child at a primary school, secondary school. And then towards the end of my secondary education, I discovered the wealth of Cathedral music, which I didn't really know at all. But when I was about 18, I joined the cathedral choir and had a very steep learning curve of learning to sight read, learning Anglican choir repertoire, which I didn't know, learning how to sing with lay clerks and choristers. And after a year of that very steep learning curve, I went to university in Oxford where I fell in love with the whole world of choral singing and joined as many choirs as I could possibly join. And at the end of that first year, I then was offered a sort of permanent position at one of what's known as the foundations in Oxford, which is one of the big five choir foundations in Oxford and Cambridge. Jonathan Arnold: So at Magdalen College Oxford, I became a choral scholar, which meant that I was singing seven or eight services every single week, different repertoire for each one. So by that time I could sight read. And by that time, even though I was studying theology at the university officially and had a vocation towards that, I discovered this other vocation, which was music and singing. And I was absolutely determined to to follow that. So at the end of university, I packed up my bags, moved to London without a penny or a job, started teaching music wherever I could, joining choirs wherever I could, making a crust, paying the rent, and then applying to music college. And I went to the Royal Academy of Music, studied singing, and became a professional singer. So I sang for eight years with St. Paul's Cathedral Choir and for 14 years in total with a choir called The Sixteen, who are a professional English choir and many other choirs as well as well as doing solo things. Jonathan Arnold: But the theology was always there. So whilst I was doing that, I then registered at King's College London to do a doctorate in church history as it happens and completed the doctorate. And then the two vocations of music and theology led me down this path where ordination sort of came at the end of that road. And I went forward for selection and became a priest. So after a few years of training and curacy, I basically gave up the singing and started work as a full time college chaplain in Oxford at Worcester College. And I did that for eight years. And then I've transferred to Magdalen college where I've been Dean of Divinity. And in both of those environments in Oxford, there's a lot of music. There's wonderful college choirs, music within the liturgy as well as pastoral ministry, academic work and so on. Jonathan Arnold: So that's where I've,

Following on from our earlier explanation of the Service of Choral Evensong, here are readings by Rev Mark and Glen from the source chapters in Luke's Gospel. These are the stories which provide the background to the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis which are essentially prayers sung by the Cathedral Choir each week.We hope you enjoy listening, and will subscribe to our podcasts on Apple and Google Podcasts, and please do spread the word on social media.

With Holy Week and Easter—and all the work that goes into the music then—safely behind us, Thomas and Richard are able to get together for another episode of Staved Off. They discuss the concert Bach, Sorrow and Joy with The Song Company in the Crypt and Anthony Pitts’s new Agnus Dei from his forthcoming Mass. Holy Week and Easter always require a huge amount of work from Saint Mary’s Cathedral Choir, and this year was no exception. The addition of brass and timpani for Easter adds a layer of complexity, and Thomas was even required to sing at one point!We were able to address the questions that were sent in for this episode, about Responsorial Psalms and Mass preferences. Videos of some of the Easter performances have been posted online, which has led some Internet commenters to question Thomas’s conducting style.Music in this episodeFelice Anerio (c. 1560–1614), Christus factus est (extract) [0:00]Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c. 1525–1594), Sicut cervus [30:12]Martin Baker (arr.), O filii et filiae [50:23]

O Magnum Mysterium (O Wondrous Mystery)Arr. by Morten LauridsenChoir of the Cathedral of St. John the DivineConducted by Kent Tritle The nativity scene is one of the oldest and richest images of Christmas: Mary and Joseph with the newborn baby Jesus, whose maternity ward was a stable, because all the hotels in Bethlehem had their “no vacancy” signs out. And of course there are animals in that stable – a very unusual royal court for a very unusual king. That is the image that has been contemplated literally for centuries in the monastic chant, O Magnum Mysterium – "O great mystery and wonderful sacrament" – that animals should see the newborn Lord lying in a manger. The words have been set by many choral composers, but one of the newest settings, from the early 1990s, is by composer Morten Lauridsen. The mystery and wonder of this nativity picture appear in the first chord the chorus sings, and the music has that particular quality of making time seem to stop. It’s terrific for a moment of contemplation, and it’s performed here by the Choir of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York, conducted by Kent Tritle.
