The Fifth Sunday After The Epiphany

Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us,we beseech thee, the liberty of that abundant life which thou hast manifested to us in thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

From the Saint Thomas Window at Saint Thomas Church (above): the one who created all things heals and renews all things. From the Old Testament Lesson “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint;” And from today’s Gospel: “And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.” See also the words, written by Edward Hayes Plumptre, for Hymn 567, which we sing today at the opening procession.

Included in this Choral Eucharist are hymns sung by the congregation and choir, additional music sung exclusively by the choir, lessons, prayers, a sermon, and a Rite I Mass. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Details of the service may be seen in the leaflet, which is posted at the bottom of this page, where you will also find links to the webcast during and after the service. 

‚ñ∫Today is SEPTUAGESIMA Sunday. If you have no idea what that means, the Rector will talk you through it.

Music notes: The Missa Brevis by Jonathan Dove was commissioned by the Cathedral Organists‚Äü Association for performance during their conference in Wells on 13 May 2009. Dove‚Äüs musical style is tonal, direct and has often been linked with the expressive minimalism of John Adams. The Gloria features short rhythmically-driven phrases supported by a moto perpetuo organ accompaniment. Minimalist ideas pervade the Sanctus and Benedictus. A bright, brilliant opening of dissonant note clusters leads to minimalist falling phrase (evocative of Steve Reich), which are then both combined. The Agnus Dei draws on more reflective moments, cadencing on a consonant chord.

‚ñ∫We are delighted to welcome the distinguished British viol consort Fretwork to accompany the choir at 4pm Choral Evensong today.
