Join us this Thursday, October 2, for a performance by Lucia Skrobola. Lucia is Junior studying Organ Performance and Sacred Music at SMTD.

This recital series is a unique opportunity to hear not only young, talented, and passionate organ students perform, but also the exceptional playing of their highly acclaimed professors!

Music Notes

Hymn 625: Jesus Calls Us

This hymn draws upon the vision of heaven in Revelation in a text written by Richard Baxter (1615-1691), a leading clergyman caught up in the English Civil War, moving between Anglicanism and Puritanism as his conscience and difficult circumstances dictated. John Darwall (1731-1789), an Anglican priest, wrote this very popular tune as a setting for Psalm 148; hence the name “Darwall’s 148th.” Fun fact: the author’s 4th great nephew, Steven Darwall, was a professor of philosophy at UM for many years. Despite the struggles and division during the time of its composition, this hymn celebrates the glory and unity of heavenly worship. - Donna Wessel Walker

Requiem: Out of the Deep

This morning’s anthem by John Rutter (b. 1945), a setting of Psalm 130, is Movement II in Rutter’s Requiem; the choir sang Movement VI, a setting of Psalm 23, two weeks ago. In its original orchestral version, the piece is well known for the expanded cello solo with which it begins. The text speaks of the sinner (man) pleading for the Lord to hear and have mercy on him. The movement ends as it began, haunting and dark, with the cello cascading in a despairing downward pattern of chromaticism and dissonance. - Dennis Powers
