2 The Officiant says THE OPENING SENTENCES THE CONFESSION OF SIN AND ABSOLUTION The Officiant addresses the people, saying Dear friends in Christ, here in the presence of Almighty God, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, so that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy. All then kneel and say LMIGHTY and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep, we have A followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against thy holy laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, spare thou those who confess their faults, restore thou those who are penitent, according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord; and grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy Name. Amen. The Officiant stands and says The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen. THE PRECES All stand. The Cantor and Choir sing V. O Lord, open thou our lips. R. And our mouth shall show forth thy praise. V. O God, make speed to save us. R. O Lord, make haste to help us. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. V. Praise ye the Lord. R. The Lord s name be praised. All sit. The Choir sings PSALM 145 Exaltabo te, Deus Chants: Chris Biemesderfer (b. 1958) 1 I will magnify thee, O God, my King; * and I will praise thy Name for ever and ever. 2 Every day will I give thanks unto thee; * and praise thy Name for ever and ever. 3 Great is the LORD, and marvellous worthy to be praised; * there is no end of his greatness. 4 One generation shall praise thy works unto another, * and declare thy power.

3 5 As for me, I will be talking of thy worship, * thy glory, thy praise, and wondrous works; 6 So that men shall speak of the might of thy marvellous acts; * and I will also tell of thy greatness. 7 The memorial of thine abundant kindness shall be showed; * and men shall sing of thy righteousness. 8 The LORD is gracious and merciful; * long-suffering, and of great goodness. 9 The LORD is loving unto every man; * and his mercy is over all his works. 10 All thy works praise thee, O LORD; * and thy saints give thanks unto thee. 11 They show the glory of thy kingdom, * and talk of thy power; 12 That thy power, thy glory, and mightiness of thy kingdom, * might be known unto men. 13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, * and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages. 14 The LORD upholdeth all such as fall, * and lifteth up all those that are down. 15 The eyes of all wait upon thee, O LORD; * and thou givest them their meat in due season. 16 Thou openest thine hand, * and fillest all things living with plenteousness. 17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, * and holy in all his works. 18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him; * yea, all such as call upon him faithfully. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; * he also will hear their cry, and will help them. 20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him; * but scattereth abroad all the ungodly. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; * and let all flesh give thanks unto his holy Name for ever and ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. THE FIRST LESSON: 1 Corinthians 2:6-16 H OWBEIT we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them

4 that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ. MAGNIFICAT from Evening Service in B flat All remain seated as the Choir sings My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Words: The Song of Mary, Luke 1:46-55, with Gloria Patri Music: Charles Villiers Stanford ( ) THE SECOND LESSON: Matthew 14:1-12 H EROD the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias sake, his brother Philip s wife. For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. But when Herod s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist s head in a charger. And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

5 NUNC DIMITTIS from Evening Service in B flat All remain seated as the Choir sings Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word; For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people, To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Words: The Song of Simeon, Luke 2:29-32, with Gloria Patri Music: Charles Villiers Stanford ( ) THE APOSTLES CREED All stand and sing I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. THE LESSER LITANY V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. V. Let us pray. R. Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us. The Cantor and Choir sing The people kneel.

6 The Choir sings THE LORD S PRAYER Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. THE SUFFRAGES The Cantor and Choir sing V. O Lord, show thy mercy upon us. R. And grant us thy salvation. V. O Lord, save the State. R. And mercifully hear us when we call upon thee. V. Endue thy ministers with righteousness. R. And make thy chosen people joyful. V. O Lord, save thy people. R. And bless thine inheritance. V. Give peace in our time, O Lord. R. Because there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O God. V. O God, make clean our hearts within us. R. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us. THE COLLECTS The Officiant sings the following collects; the Choir sings Amen. The Collect of the Day LMIGHTY and everlasting God, who art always more ready to hear than we to pray, and art wont to give A more than either we desire or deserve: Pour down upon us the abundance of thy mercy, forgiving us those things whereof our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. A Collect for Peace O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed: Give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give, that our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee, we, being defended from the fear of all enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

7 A Collect for Aid against Perils L IGHTEN our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. INTERCESSIONS AND THANKSGIVINGS All say THE GENERAL THANKSGIVING LMIGHTY God, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty A thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all men. We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful; and that we show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen. A PRAYER OF ST. CHRYSOSTOM The Officiant says LMIGHTY God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication A unto thee; and hast promised through thy well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name thou wilt be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen. The Officiant says THE GRACE HE grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, T and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen. All stand and sing HYMN 692: I heard the voice of Jesus say The Third Tune All sit for THE GREETING AND ANNOUNCEMENTS The Officiant says THE OFFERTORY SENTENCE

8 As the alms are collected, the Choir sings THE ANTHEM: Evening Hymn E lucis ante terminum rerum Creator poscimus ut pro tua clementia sis praesul et custodia. Procul T recedant somnia et noctium phantasmata hostemque nostrum comprime ne polluantur corpora. Præsta, Pater piissime Patrique compar unice cum Spiritu Paraclito regnans per omne sæculum. Amen. To you before the close of day, Creator of all things, we pray that in your constant clemency our guard and keeper you would be. Save us from troubled, restless sleep, from terror s dreams your children keep; so calm our minds that fears may cease and rested bodies wake in peace.

9 LITURGICAL AND MUSICAL NOTES The complex and atmospheric setting of the Preces and Responses sung at this service is the work of Washington-based conductor, composer, and arranger Stephen Caracciolo (b. 1962). An increasingly prominent figure in the world of choral music, Caracciolo s compositions appear on professional, collegiate, and cathedral/parish church repertoire lists, and can be heard on a number of nationally distributed recordings. Caracciolo holds degrees from Capital University, Westminster Choir College, and Indiana University. He serves as a professional bass in the Choir of Washington National Cathedral. Musical settings of the canticles Magnificat and Nunc dimittis have served as the backbone of Evensong, or sung Evening Prayer, since the English Reformation. Thomas Cranmer s original Book of Common Prayer (1549) established the classic pattern for the Anglican Office: Psalm Lesson Canticle Lesson Canticle. Having survived a number of liturgical revisions and a great deal of ecclesiastical upheaval, this pattern was maintained in the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, to which the Church of England still adheres today. The first canticle of Evensong, the Magnificat or Song of Mary (from Luke 1:46-55), is a hymn of praise that expresses the joy and thanksgiving of the Blessed Virgin Mary after the Annunciation. It serves as a liturgical pivot of sorts, providing a transition between lessons from the Old and New Testaments. The second canticle of Evensong, the Nunc dimittis or Song of Simeon (from Luke 2:29-32), acts as a salutation to the arrival of the New Testament message. The words are those uttered by the aged Simeon who, having witnessed the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, expresses his faith in God s promise of salvation and contemplates his own approaching death. With the exception of the anthem, which, strictly speaking, is extra-liturgical, the canticles have provided generations of composers with more opportunity for musical creativity and development than any other element of this distinctly Anglican rite. Charles Villiers Stanford ( ) was a key figure in the British musical renaissance of the late nineteenth century. Born in Dublin, Stanford demonstrated talent as a composer from a young age and won an organ scholarship to Queens College, Cambridge, in During the academic year, he studied with Carl Reinecke in Leipzig and Friedrich Kiel in Berlin. From , he was the organist of Trinity College, Cambridge. His principal academic appointments were as professor of music at Cambridge ( ) and professor of composition at the Royal College of Music ( ). Stanford taught two generations of British composers, among them Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, John Ireland, and Herbert Howells. He was knighted in For Stanford, Johannes Brahms represented the very pinnacle of compositional genius; much of his music reflects Brahms influence. During his lifetime, many of Stanford s compositions seven symphonies, large and small-scale choral works, operas, and part-songs became widely known in Britain and elsewhere. Stanford is principally remembered, however, for his many contributions to the great body of Anglican church music. These include major settings of the canticles, as well as anthems, hymns, and organ works. In his first setting of the Morning, Communion, and Evening services (B flat/1879), from which this evening s Magnificat and Nunc dimittis are drawn, it is clear that Stanford set out to abandon the rather prosaic approach of many earlier Victorian composers in order to establish new expressive means. He achieved this, in large part, by utilizing several key Brahmsian procedures: cyclical unity, thematic transformation, and symphonic structure among them. These techniques, subsequently enriched and developed through the years, are hallmarks of all the services that followed. NOTE: The next service of Choral Evensong will take place on Sunday, October 21, at 5:00 p.m. Evensong will continue on first, third, and fifth Sundays through May. A reception follows each service. Please join us.
