Worship From Home
As we worship remotely during this time of change, each week you’ll find Sundays at Home with Trinity Episcopal Church. We will be featuring the full service recording, as well as the sermon and anthem on their own. You can also download PDFs of the Readings and Gospel, as well as the full sermon on our website.
This is our final week prior to the arrival on July 1 of our Rector Elect, The Rev. Jonathan Adams. We are grateful for the wonderful support of so many people who come together to help to produce these weekly, online services. If you would like to volunteer to help with the readings or prayers, please contact Betsy Crenshaw or the church office.
Sunday Worship for June 28, 2020
Please view the embedded video of our service below by clicking on the grey arrow in the middle of the image.
This Sunday we feature the music of English composer, organist, conductor and educator, Sir Henry Walford Davies (1869–1941) who, among his many appointments, succeeded Sir Edward Elgar as Master of the King's Music from 1934 until 1941. Davies was perhaps best known for his widely popular radio talks as musical adviser to the British Broadcasting Corporation between 1924 and 1941.
The Prelude: "Solemn Melody" was originally composed for organ, strings, and solo cello and was arranged for organ solo by Roy Perry who did the original installation and voicing of our Aeolian-Skinner organ. In place of the Sequence Hymn, Davies' beloved "God Be In My Head" was composed while he was the Director of Music for the University of Whales. It is written for four part choir but is presented as a solo as we are only permitted to use one singer in the church at a time.
The Offertory Anthem "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" by Thomas Tallis is an arrangement of Hymn 692 in our Hymnal 1982 and is selected to support the appointed Gospel lesson from Matthew. It uses Tallis' Third Tune which is composed using the third musical mode, neither major nor minor, but phrygian.
