LITURGICAL RESPONSE

John McLarty Liturgy means “work of the people.” In our celebration of culture and difference,

in the worship of our God who is God of us all, we pause to recommit to the work of offering ourselves to one another to know and be known, and to strive to see the other’s face.

Congregation We desire to offer ourselves to know and be known. We will strive to truly see the faces of those

we do not easily understand. John McLarty What makes this possible?

7

Congregation We stand by the cross that unites our hearts. As children of God, as sisters and brothers of Christ, we have become family.

John McLarty May God help us,

may Christ sustain our love, and may the Spirit transform our lives.

All Amen.

Program Notes DIVERSE IN CULTURE, NATION, RACE

Tune: OLD 100th During the Reformation, the singing of Psalms underwent a change. Whereas in the Catholic Church scripture had been chanted in Latin by the clergy, the communal singing of songs in the vernacular became the accepted Protestant practice. To provide music for this purpose, numerous musicians supplied tunes, some of them original, others borrowed from both sacred and secular songs.

The tune Old 100th is commonly attributed to Loys (or Louis) Bourgeois (c. 1510-1560), a French composer and theorist. He was one of three principal composers of the hymn tunes in the Genevan Psalter, a 16th Century compilation of Psalms to be sung in worship services.

In 1551, Bourgeois came into conflict with the musical authorities of his day because, “without a license,” he changed the tunes of some of the Psalms. He was cast into prison for his offense and only through the intervention of John Calvin gained release. At that point, he shook the dust of Geneva from his feet and left the city, never to return.

Many different texts have been set to Old 100th. Probably the best known is the Doxology, a hymn widely used throughout Christendom. In our service today, the tune is used for “Diverse in Culture, Nation, Race.”

Text: Ruth C. Duck is Professor of Worship at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, Illinois. She received a Bachelor of Music degree in organ performance from Willamette University in our neighboring state of Oregon and her Th.D. in Theology and Liturgy from Boston University School of Theology. Ordained in the United Church of Christ, she has served local churches in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts. She was President of the North American Academy of Liturgy in 2007.

A prolific writer, she has authored, co-authored, and edited several books of worship resources and is currently writing a textbook on worship to be published by Westminster Knox in 2013. She has written, translated, or adapted many hymns, including our opening hymn this morning.

Dr. Duck states, “Studying worship is exciting; above all, teaching and learning about worship inspire awe and humility, because as planners and leaders of congregational praise, we share in the Spirit’s labor to draw all humanity into just relationship with God and all creation.”

¡DAME LA MANO!

Dame la mano y mi hermano seras. Shake my hand and you will be my brother, my sister. These words, selected as the theme for the Green Lake Church 2013 International Sabbath, impart meaning on more than one level.

“Dame la Mano” is a corito, a Spanish praise hymn, and is representative of the many Spanish-speaking individuals in the Green Lake congregation. Coritos are thought to have their roots in Anglo-American revivalism, but are infused with Latin rhythms and melodies. This particular corito is sung all over Central and South America at church services, and during the chorus when all are singing dame la mano, shake my hand, everyone stands and moves about, shaking hands with others.

Hand shaking is a custom from antiquity, having begun centuries before the birth of Christ. Tradition says that it originated to show that the extended hand did not hold a weapon. Whether that is truth or fancy, the practice evolved into a matter of courtesy and fellowship across the world.

Dame la mano, shake my hand, is an invitation to actual contact between two people. As such, it

10

is meant to draw people closer to each other. Mi hermano seras, you will be my brother, my sister, reflects the prayer of Jesus: “Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name—the name you gave me—so that they may be one as we are one.” (John 17:11)

主われを愛す (JESUS LOVES ME)

Tune: Bradbury William Batchelder Bradbury was born in the early 19th Century to a Maine farming family. When the family moved to Boston, the 14-year-old lad saw and heard a piano and

an organ for the first time. He had always loved music and availed himself of the opportunity to take organ lessons. By the time he was 18 he had achieved a reputation as an organist.

He studied singing with Dr. Lowell Mason and became a member of Mason’s choir. Assisted by the association with Mason, Bradbury developed a successful career as musician, teacher, and composer. He was particularly interested in music for children and began to compose music for use in Sunday Schools. This interest extended into the public school sector, and he was a strong proponent of teaching music in public schools.

Bradbury’s tunes were eminently sing-able and gained wide usage. Lyrics for his music were penned by such well-known poets as Anonymous, Charles Wesley, and Fanny Crosby. None of his songs has achieved more popularity than Jesus Loves Me. Allegedly this has been translated into more languages than any other Christian song. In today’s worship service, it is sung in Japanese as the Call to the Children’s Story.

Text: Anna Warner, born in 1820, was the daughter of a New York lawyer. She wrote several novels under a pseudonym and also published two volumes of Christian verse. With the family living near West Point, she and her sister Susan taught Sunday School classes for the cadets at the Academy for many years.

Anna and Susan wrote a novel, Say and Seal, which was published in 1860. One of the characters in the book was Johnny, a motherless boy who was dying. Anna wrote the poem, “Jesus Loves Me,” as a comfort to Johnny. She claimed that the fictional child had become so real to her that she wrote the words as if for a real child. When William Bradbury read the novel, he wrote the tune for the poem and added the refrain himself.

An interesting side note about this song is set in WWII in the Solomon Islands where John F. Kennedy’s PT-109 was rammed and sunk. The islanders who rescued him recalled that when they rode in PT boats to rescue survivors, the Marines sang this song with the natives, who had learned it from Seventh-day Adventist missionaries.

WAKANTANKA TAKU NITA-WA (MANY AND GREAT)

The Native American music played as the children collect the Hands Across the Water offering is the Dakota hymn, “Many and Great” or, in the Dakota language, “Wakantanka taku nitawa.”

This hymn, also called the ”Dakota Hymn,” was written in 1842 in the Dakota language by Joseph R. Renville. It was first published in 1879 in the Dakota Odowan, a significant Dakota language hymnal. The first and last of the original seven verses were translated into English by Philip Frazier in 1929. It has been widely used and modernized over the years and has been included in a number of contemporary world music collections. It is also found in the Chalice Hymnal, a resource frequently used in planning Green Lake worship services.

11

The original text is based on Jeremiah 10:12-13, “It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens. When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings for the rain, and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.”

The tune, Lacquiparle, is a Native American melody with an irregular meter. The unique ornamentation used in playing the Native American flute is in imitation of animal and bird sounds.

The instruments Glenn Salisbury and son Galyn play in today’s service were made by Native Americans.

HEILIG, HEILIG, HEILIG (HOLY, HOLY, HOLY)

Tune: Franz Schubert was born in Austria in 1797. His schoolmaster father and homemaker mother noted and encouraged his musical bent. As a child he played piano, organ, and violin and was an excellent singer. He received musical instruction from his father and older brother until he enrolled in the Stadtkonvikt, where he received vocal training to prepare him to sing in the chapel choir at the Imperial Court. Among his instructors in the choir were the imperial court organist and the composer Antonio Salieri. He continued to play violin as a member of the school orchestra, learned conducting, and played chamber music.

After his voice broke and he could no longer sing with the choir, he trained to be a teacher and became an assistant in his father’s school. He composed music during his years as a teacher, and by the age of 17 he had produced a number of piano pieces, string quartets, a symphony, and a three-act opera.

Eventually, he left teaching and devoted full time to his music. A prolific composer, he produced music in many genres. His success in supporting himself financially with his compositions was an ongoing situation of peaks and valleys, as he was at some times the darling of the public and at others, quite ignored.

Although he composed a great deal of music for the human voice, Holy, Holy, Holy, sung in German as today’s Call to Prayer, is the only Schubert composition included in the SDA Hymnal.

Text: No information is available either on John Philipp Neumann, who wrote the original German text, or on Charles H. Davis, who translated it into English.

GALAGHIA MULILO and NDATA LUNA

Christianity was introduced on the African continent through Egypt and the Nubian regions soon after the first century A.D., but not until the early 19th Century, with the coming of missionaries, did it spread widely south of the Sahara.

Early missionaries brought not only the Gospel but also their music and culture. In the attempt to impose cultural standards, African drums were burned, not only by the missionaries themselves, but also by converts. An attempt, mostly unsuccessful, was made to marry Western hymns with African rhythms and languages, many of which were tonal languages. Western musical scales didn’t mesh with African pentatonic scales.

At the root of African music is the music of the African village. Call and response singing, bright (open throat) tone, clear articulation, harmonization by ear, repetition and progressive addition of more vocal parts, dancing, stomping, swinging, swaying—all these are characteristics of this lively indigenous music. The drum, anathematized by early missionaries, is the preferred instrumental accompaniment.

12

Eventually, Christian music that was essentially African emerged. The style is participatory; everyone joins in this “heart music” that issues from the experience of the Christian life. According to J. Nathan Corbit, Professor of Cross-Cultural Studies at Eastern University in Pennsylvania, Africans claim, “Western music is something you listen to; African music is something you do.”

Two African songs are included in our service today. The first, “Galaghia Mulilo,” refers to the experience of Elijah being taken to heaven. It is sung

in Tonga, one of five different languages of the same name, including three Bantu languages that are spoken in Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique.

The second, “Ndata Luna,” is based on Jesus’ prayer in Luke 23, in which he prayed for the forgiveness of those crucifying him. It is sung in Silozi, also known as Lozi, a Bantu language native to Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and South Africa. While singing “forgive them for they don’t know what they are doing,” singers motion to one another, acknowledging that everyone is culpable. In the communal culture of Zambia, what happens to one happens to all; what is done by one is done by all.

LET US TALENTS AND TONGUES EMPLOY

Tune: Linstead Market In honor of the GLC members from Jamaica, this traditional tune has been chosen for the choir anthem. In this Jamaican folk song, a poor woman laments her failure to sell her ackee [a fruit] at the market in order that she might support her children. She cries, “Not a quatee [a small copper coin of little value] would sell.” She calls on everyone to notice her plight, and she goes home to the children empty-handed to inform them that she has brought them nothing.

Doreen Potter was born in Panama and raised in Jamaica. She studied piano and violin there before moving to England to train as a music teacher at Liverpool’s St. Katharine’s College. She obtained a Licentiate of Music degree at Trinity College of London, where she played violin in several orchestras.

She married Philip Potter, who served as general secretary of the World Council of Churches in Geneva. Through that connection, she met Fred Kaan and began writing tunes for his texts. In 1975, they published Break Not the Circle, which included twenty new hymns through the Agape division of Hope Publishing Company. Setting sacred texts to secular music is a time-honored practice. Mrs. Potter adapted the tune Linstead for one of Kaan’s texts, and that hymn became the most popular hymn in the collection.

Text: Fred Kaan was born in Haarlem in the Netherlands. Although he was baptized in infancy, he did not attend church until he was in his teens. He survived the Nazi occupation, but saw three of his grandparents die of starvation. His parents were active in the resistance movement.

Profoundly affected by his war-time experiences, he became a pacifist. He studied theology and psychology at Utrecht University and became a

minister of the Congregational Church in Britain, later the United Reformed Church. While serving as a pastor, his poetic gifts came to the fore and he began to write hymn texts.

During the post-war years a proliferation of hymn writing burst upon the scene. These were of two types: those of a more traditional nature and a new style of “worship song.” Kaan, firmly settled in the former group with such men as Fred Pratt Green and Brian Wren, referred to the latter group as “nursery rhymes of the church.”

He was called to serve the church internationally and moved to Geneva. During those years he met Doreen Potter and thus their talents were

combined to produce hymns that have been widely used throughout the world.

13

IN CHRIST THERE IS NO EAST OR WEST

Tune: St. Peter Alexander R. Reinagle was born in Brighton, England, in 1799. He had a lengthy career as the organist at St. Peter’s in Oxford—hence the tune name for this hymn. It was included in his Psalm Tunes for the Voice and the Pianoforte, published in 1830. Other tunes with which he is credited are Beati Immaculati, Ben Rhydding, and Ellesmere.

While a great deal of biographical information is available for Reinagle’s uncle who bore the same name, details of the nephew are scanty, to say the least.

Text: The man of many names! William Arthur Dunkerley, born in Manchester, England, in 1852, wrote prolifically, but apparently not under his own name. His poetry, hymns, and novels appeared under the name John Oxenham, as does this hymn in the SDA Hymnal. He chose the name Julian Ross for his journalistic writing.

Except for a short time after his marriage in America, Dunkerley spent the entirety of his life in England. He served as a deacon and a teacher in the Congregational Church in Ealing. After moving to Sussex, he became the mayor of the town.

In 1908, the London Missionary Society sponsored a pageant to depict the triumphs of missionary work. The Society hired the large Agricultural Hall in Islington, north of London, for the display. The month-long exhibition was named “The Orient in London,” and the Reverend Dugald MacFadyen was in charge. He asked his Uncle William to write the libretto for the pageant. William used his nom de plume Oxenham for the purpose. His words reflect his strong feeling against sectarianism, as well as Paul’s words in Galations 3, “You are all one in Christ Jesus.”

INDIAN CLASSICAL VIOLIN AND TABLA DUET

Vyas Krishnan and Karthik Krishnan will be performing an Indian classical violin and tabla duet in the “Carnatic” tradition. There are two methods of classical music in India: the “Carnatic” tradition from the southern part and “Hindustani” from the northern part. They will play a piece in the Rāga, “Kapi Narayani,” set to “Adi talam” [structure of the piece set to a beat; Adi talam has eight beats to the bar].

Rāga: A rāga uses a series of five or more musical notes upon which a melody is constructed. In the Indian musical tradition, rāgas are associated with different times of the day, or with seasons. Indian classical music is always set in a rāga.

About the Performers: Vyas Krishnan is a tenth grader at Skyline High School. He started learning Tabla at the age of 8, and he has played for multiple shows in the Pacific Northwest. He also plays various instruments such as Dholak and Mridangam. In his free time, he is an all-state runner and a basketball player. He holds multiple records for long- and mid-distance running.

Karthik Krishnan is a ninth grader at the International Community School in Kirkland and has been learning Carnatic violin for the last eight years. He has given many solo performances and plays Hindustani music as well. Karthik is also proficient in Western music. He has earned superior ratings in various solo-ensemble competitions and plays in the Bellevue Youth Symphony Orchestra. In addition to music, Karthik is an up-and-coming web designer and participates in several extracurricular activities.
