Music Notes:


This weekend the liturgical year comes to a close;
it is an appropriate moment to thank members of the parish
(and friends) who have sung with us during the past year:
Director (Ondine Young), Sopranos (Mary Bulkley, Ann Callaway,
Virginia Cooke, Gina DeLucchi, Betty DeOrian [cantor]), Mary Peters),
Altos (Susan Hernandez, Sue Jones, Roddy Raikow, Shirley Siljeg),
Tenors (Jordan Fong, Chang Hyun "Robin" Lee [cantor],
Brendan O'Brine, David Ryther), Basses (Asher Davison,
Richard Mix [cantor], William Skeen).


"King of Glory, King of Peace" is the result of W H Harris
combining poetry and music: George Herbert (1593-1632) was born
in Montgomery Wales, and became a poet, orator, and Church of
England minister who wrote a collection of poems entitled
"The Temple (1633)" in which is found the text entitled "Praise";
J S Bach (1685-1750) harmonized the hymn tune to "Jesu, meine
Herzens Freud" (BWV 361, "Jesus my heart's joy").


Richard H Lloyd (1933-), born near Manchester England,
attended: Lichfield Cathedral (1942-47 chorister), Rugby School
(music scholar), Jesus College Cambridge (organ scholar).
Held posts at: Salisbury Cathedral (assistant organist),
Hereford Cathedral (organist and master of choristers),
Durham Cathedral (1974-85 organist), Salisbury Cathedral
(school). Now divides his time between examining and composing.
The prelude and postlude bear French titles: Avant-propos
("preface") is a gentle introspective piece; Sortie ("exit,
departure") is confident and march-like with opportunities for
melodic fragments to be played on the gallery Fanfare Trumpet.
