July 2: The Spiritual Lives of Great Composers

Join us for one or all three Wednesdays this Summer: July 2, August 6, and September 10.

Following Wednesday Evening Prayer (6:00 PM) and Holy Eucharist (6:20 PM) in the Church, join us in air-conditioned Draesel Hall for a short program having to do with some aspect of the spirituality beneath, behind, and around the music, followed by dessert. 

In July, Adam Koch will lead us in an exploration of the “Spiritual lives of great composers,” as he helps us understand some of the religious inputs for composers well known, and perhaps not as well known.

In August & September, Father Beddingfield and Adam Koch will lead us in an exploration of the life and of the 12th-century German abbess Hildegard of Bingen, who was a true “Renaissance woman” before the Renaissance. August will focus on Hildegard’s life and her visions, which were beautifully illustrated by the nuns under her direction. In September, we’ll continue talking about her life, but focus more on her music and chant.

After the Fourteenth Station, the congregation will be invited to venerate the cross, in gratitude that through the Cross of Christ, we are freed from sin and death and led to eternal life.   (This midday service does not include Holy Communion.)

"Maundy" is an English, shortened word from the Latin, "mandatum," referring to the "mandate" Jesus gives to his disciples (and us): "I give you a new commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you, says the Lord" (John 13:14).  Jesus said this as he washed his disciples' feet just before they celebrated the Passover meal.  In remembrance, we invite all those who feel comfortable to wash the feet of another (though if this is not your practice or piety, you should not feel pressured to come forward.) After the Washing of Feet, the service continues with the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist and after Communion, the Reserved Sacrament is transferred to the Memorial Chapel, and the church is stripped of all decoration and ornament.

"Tenebrae" is from the Latin for "shadows," and is the name of this traditional service of readings and prayers. As the service proceeds, candles are extinguished until the church is in darkness, remembering the disciples' desertion of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and also foreshadowing the darkness of the clouds at the Crucifixion. Tenebrae at Holy Trinity is a simple and spare service, the only music being a final chanting of a psalm.

Stations of the Cross

Join us on Friday nights in Lent as we walk the Stations of the Cross, a simple service, lasting about 40 minutes.

The devotion known as Stations of the Cross, or the Way of the Cross, is thought to have begun in 4th-century Jerusalem, as pilgrims sought to be close to the places where Jesus walked. The number of stations, or places where Jesus paused on his way to be crucified, has varied with tradition and time. Monks and nuns who visited the Holy Land took the idea of the Way of the Cross back to their monasteries, and so, by the 16th century, a number of monasteries and convents began to have small artistic representations of the Stations of the Cross in their chapels. Prayers would be said at each representation and this practice eventually spread to churches. The number of stations finally became fixed at fourteen. Of these, eight are based directly on events recorded in the Gospels and six (stations three, four, six, seven, nine, and thirteen) are based upon tradition.

Participating in the Stations of the Cross allows us to pray with our imagination. We imagine what it must have been like for Jesus to walk through the city of Jerusalem carrying his cross. We imagine how we might have reacted or not reacted. And perhaps most of all, we can imagine where God must have been in the midst of that struggle. To recognize God in such times is at the heart of Lent.
