Welcome! Thank you for Worshiping at St. David s today! MUSIC NOTES Johann Jakob Froberger (1616 1667) was a German Baroque composer, harpsichordist, and organist. He was among the most famous composers of his era, largely due to his extensive traveling throughout Europe during his lifetime. Johann was born in Stuttgart into a musical family. His father, Basilius, was Hofkapellmeister in the Württemberg court and he had a large musical library containing scores from many composers, a definite luxury in those days. Even though Jacob was born just before the 30 years war began, the musical scene in Stuttgart still flourished, offering the young Jacob many musical opportunities beyond his father and the Württemberg court. In 1634 Froberger left Stuttgart for Vienna, finding employment there in the Imperial Chapel. 1637 saw the death of his father, mother and a sister to the plague, but also in the same year Froberger was granted a stipend to go to Rome to study with Frescobaldi. He returned to Vienna in 1641 where he remained for 4 more years before visiting Italy a second time. In September 1649, Froberger returned to Vienna and presented his Libro Primo (this volume has been lost) and Libro Segundo (the postlude is from this volume) to the Holy Roman Emporer, Ferdinand III. Froberger would then go on to travel all over Western Europe including London, Paris, Brussels and most major cities in Germany throughout his career. As a composer, Froberger is credited with inventing the musical style called suite, a musical form typically with 4 dance movements for the keyboard. Each movement was a different style, but thematically linked. A typical suite would have allemande, courante, sarabande and gigue (jig) movements. The postlude, Toccata in d minor, is from a completely different musical style. Froberger s toccatas mostly contain a free-form opening section followed by fugual section. The d minor Toccata begins with an improvisatory section, followed by a fugue. A brief jig built on the fugual motif is presented, followed by a free-form improvisatory closing. While Froberger today is mostly remembered for his contributions to the keyboard suite genre, he did write many other compositional forms. Unfortunately a lot of his must has been lost, primarily because Froberger did not allow the publication of his compositions. This limited access to those with hand copied manuscripts, such as his noble patrons and friends, particularly the Württembergs and Habsburgs. After his death the manuscripts went to his patroness Sibylla, Duchess of Württtemberg (1620 1707) and the music library of the Württemberg family estate. Froberger s compositions were studied and played by many famous composers long after his death however, including Buxtehude, Pachelbel, Bach, Handel, Mozart and even Beethoven (150 years later!)

SANDWICH MAKING TODAY, AFTER THE 10:00 AM SERVICE: How is it possible to make 1000 sandwiches in one hour? St. David s has the answer! For six years, we as a community have come together in the undercroft, for loaves and fishes moments. In the company of fellow parishioners, we have experienced great pleasure making and bagging this staggering number of turkey and cheese sandwiches for Martha s Table. If you have participated you know what a good feeling this accomplishment generates. Prepare to roll up your sleeves for this wonderful St. David s tradition. It can t happen without YOU! 10:00 am HOLY EUCHARIST Prelude Trumpet Voluntary John Bennett (c.1735-1784) Hymn Hail to the Lord's Anointed H-616 The Opening Acclamation Presider: Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. 10 3

Presider People The Lord be with you And also with you. Sanctus and Benedictus S-128 The Collect Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us the liberty of that abundant life which you have made known to us in your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Eucharistic Prayer A (continues) BCP 362 The Lord s Prayer BCP 364 The Fraction BCP 364 The Word of God The First Reading Isaiah 58:1-9a, (9b-12) Shout out, do not hold back! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Announce to my people their rebellion, to the house of Jacob their sins. Yet day after day they seek me and delight to know my ways, as if they were a nation that practised righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of me righteous judgements, they delight to draw near to God. Why do we fast, but you do not see? Why humble ourselves, but you do not notice? Look, you serve your own interest on your fast-day, and oppress all your workers. Look, you fast only to quarrel and to fight and to strike with a wicked fist. Such fasting as you do today will not make your voice heard on high. Is such the fast that I choose, a day to humble oneself? Is it to bow down the head like a bulrush, and to lie in sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD? Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin? Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rearguard. Then you shall call, 4 The Invitation to Communion BCP 364 Communion Hymn Let all mortal flesh keep silence H-324 The Post Communion Prayer BCP 365 The Blessing and Dismissal Hymn Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord H-438 Postlude Toccata in d minor Johann Jacob Froberger (1616-1667) 9

life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. The Prayers of the People Form VI BCP 392 The Peace and the LORD will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday. The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail. Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in. Reader People The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Greetings THE HOLY COMMUNION Offertory Anthem Hodie beatus virgo Maria The Presentation Jacob Arcadelt (c.1507-1568) H-380 (v.3) The Great Thanksgiving BCP 361 Psalm 112:1-9,(sung by the choir) BCP 755 The Epistle 1 Corinthians 2:1-12, 13-16 When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not with plausible words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God. Yet among the mature we do speak wisdom, though it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to perish. But we speak God s wisdom, secret and hidden, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would 8 5

not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him - these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For what human being knows what is truly human except the human spirit that is within? So also no one comprehends what is truly God s except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the gifts bestowed on us by God. And we speak of these things in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual things to those who are spiritual. Those who are unspiritual do not receive the gifts of God s Spirit, for they are foolishness to them, and they are unable to understand them because they are discerned spiritually. Those who are spiritual discern all things, and they are themselves subject to no one else s scrutiny. For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. Reader: People: The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Sequence Hymn I want to walk as a child of the light H-490 The Gospel Matthew 5:13-20 Reader The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and trampled under foot. You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the 6 lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets; I have come not to abolish but to fulfil. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Reader People Sermon The Nicene Creed The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ. 7 The Rev. Stuart A. Kenworthy We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day He rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of
