The Service of Worship Third Sunday of Easter May 5, 2019 8:15 & 9:30 am

PREPARING FOR WORSHIP Let us prepare our hearts and minds as we transition from getting to church to being in worship. PRELUDE: Three Baroque Dances Johann Pezel (The Festival Orchestra)

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Dan Wagner, Minister of Music This morning's service of Sacred Music was made possible through a generous family gift toward the Grace Music Fund. The gift is in remembrance and celeb-ration of the late Rev. Carol Madalin whose life was—literally and metaphorically—a song. The choral and orchestral sheet music were provided by a gift in memory of Herbert C. Rupp by Mrs. Cynthia Rupp. Worshippers who are inclined to ensure that we can continue worship experiences of superior musical excellence in the future are asked to prayerfully consider a special gift to the designated Music Fund at Grace Church. The generous regular tithes and offerings of the church provide an important portion of the weekly music ministry needs at Grace, but special music events such as today are entirely funded by voluntary gifts and bequests over and above our regular offerings. Please feel free to contact Dan Wagner, Minister of Music, for information on specific needs and projects, or consider designating a Music Fund Gift this morning. ABOUT TODAY’S MUSIC Dan Forrest’s Jubilate Deo brings to life the global aspect of the traditional Psalm 100 text, “O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands,” by setting it in seven different languages and drawing from a wide spectrum of musical influences. Each movement combines some characteristics of its language-group’s musical culture with the composer’s own musical language. The opening movement sets the ancient liturgical Latin translation of the Psalm in a rather American musical idiom, reflecting various influences from the composer’s native country and introducing key musical motives for the work. The second move-ment sets the “from age to age” portion of the text in Hebrew and Arabic, evoking ancient cultures from the Middle East. The music intentionally inter-twines the two languages in a symbolic gesture of unity between these cultures. Movement three uses Mandarin Chinese in a tranquil setting of the shepherd-sheep metaphor from the traditional text and quotes “the Lord is my shepherd” from Psalm 23, while the orchestra evokes the sounds of traditional Asian instruments. The fourth movement shifts to Africa, setting celebratory portions of the text in Zulu and drawing from African vocal and drumming traditions. Movement five represents Latin America, setting Spanish text to a folk-song style melody and blending traditional folk instrumental sounds with polyphonic textures from the classical choral tradition. The sixth movement, “Song of the Earth,” portrays the Earth itself singing—first wordlessly, but even-tually finding its own voice—and leads seamlessly into the final movement. The finale unites many of the key themes and cultures from previous movements with other material, both old and new, as all the earth sings as one, “omnis terra, jubilate!
