In today’s lesson from Exodus,the LORD speaks to Moses from the midst of the burning bush: “Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you…Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.” Two weeks ago at Choral Evensong, Fr Daniels preached on “Taking the Name in Vain” as part of the Commandments as Good News sermon series.

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 and service card, which will be posted at the bottom of this page a few days prior to the service, and where you will also find links to the webcast during and after the service.

Music notes: As a composer, Latvian-born Uƒüis Prauli≈Ü≈ù draws from his formal conservatory training as well as past experiences of playing with rock bands and working as a sound engineer at Latvian Radio. Prauli≈Ü≈ù composed the Missa Rigensis in 2003. It was¬† premiered that same year by the Riga Dom Boys’ Choir, a choir in which the composer himself sang as a boy. Prauli≈Ü≈ù intention was to compose a work in the spirit of the great Renaissance Masses,’without overwhelming force or volume’ resulting in a piece equally suited to concert or liturgical performance. The declamatory Kyrie explores the various states of supplication, but finally resolves with a sotto voce lament sung by a single voice. The ‘swung’ Hosannas of the Sanctus are a jolt to the hushed beginning, and the simple Agnus Dei, with its clarity of texture, includes an optional Post-Communion recitation, adding to the unique quality of this setting.
