The Second Sunday After The Epiphany

God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that thy   people, illumined by thy Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ’s glory, that he may be known, worshiped, and obeyed to the ends of the earth; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

5:15 p.m.

From Judith Hancock about this afternoon’s recital

This program has been organized to honor Gerre Hancock whose compositional style emulated that of Brahms, Durufl√©, and Sowerby. However, there is only time to play one. I will play three of Gerre’s delightful compositions followed by one transcription. Gerre lived by the Creed represented in Wir Glauben of Bach, and it is followed by the great Resurrection piece, Victimae Paschali!
