Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled."

Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King!" Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness!

Magnificat John Rutter Magnificat, the canticle of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Luke I: 46-55), was originally sung during the medieval Roman rite of Vespers. After the Mass, it is the liturgical text most often set to music. Award-winning British composer John Rutter (b. 1945) wrote this exuberant version inspired by J. S. Bach, to reflect the celebrations throughout Europe honoring Virgin Mary. 1. Magnificat anima mea Magnifcat anima mea Dominum: et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae: ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes. My soul doth magnify the Lord: And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden: for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 2. Of a Rose, a lovely Rose 3. Quia fecit mihi magna Robert Heyde, Tenor Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: et sanctum nomen eius. Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. For He that is mighty hath magnified me: And holy is his Name. Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth Are filled with thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. 4. Et miscordia Angie Schermitzler, Soprano (Friday) Carolyn Nyland, Soprano (Sunday) Et misericordia eius a progenie in progenies, timentibus eum. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. 5. Fecit potentiam Fecit potentiam in brachio suo: dispersit superbos mente cordis sui. Deposuit potentes de sede, et exaltavit humiles. He hath shewed 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 the meek.
6. Esurientes Laura Graviss, Soprano (Friday) Kelly Johnson, Soprano (Sunday) Esurientes implevit bonis: et divites dimisit inanes. Suscepit Israel puerum suum, recordatus misericordiae suae. Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini eius in saecula. 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. 7. Gloria Patri Shannon Barrett, Alto Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. Sancta Maria, succurre miseris, iuva pusillanimes, refove flebiles: ora pro populo, interveni pro clero, intercede pro devoto femineo sexu: sentient omnes tuum iuvamen, quicumque tuum sanctum implorant auxilium. Alleluia. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Holy Mary, succor those in need, help the faint-hearted, support the weak: pray for the laity, assist the clergy, intercede for all devout women: may all feel the power of your help, whoever prays for your holy aid. Alleluia. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

This season of Thanksgiving is a perfect time for me to say my heartfelt thanks to each of you in the Chorale for an incredible year of music making. Not only have you had to prepare for 2 very different and equally challenging sets of concerts, but you've also recorded two wonderful CDs of which you should be so very proud. You're an amazing group of people with such varied gifts and I am honored to continue to be your director. My hope is that these will be some of the most rewarding musical moments you've ever experienced. Enjoy every one of them.
