[Pulcinella]

Joshua, Joshua,
Nicer than lemon squash you are!
Oh! By gosh you are!
Joshu-oshua!

Nice choices, Joshes!

[ardcarp]

Presumably they've allowed a nice long slot for the sortie into Bach. One of my fave pieces....so expressive, the Adagio.
(Both the 'anthems' are quite short.)

[Alison]

Where's Neil Taylor?

[subcontrabass]

Where's Neil Taylor?

He appears to have left earlier this year.

[Vox Humana]

Joshua, Joshua,
Nicer than lemon squash you are!
Oh! By gosh you are!
Joshu-oshua!

Nice choices, Joshes!

Thanks. I've needed cheering up!

[Pulcinella]

Thanks. I've needed cheering up!

And I was about to delete it as perhaps being rather flippant.
I think we used to sing 'sweeter than' rather than 'nicer than'!
Pleased if it raised a smile.

[DracoM]

Well, for cheering up or not, a reminder of CE @ 3.30 p.m. from Sheffield today.

St. Paul appears to be little recognized on this day. What appropriate liturgical music is there?

[Caussade]

St. Paul appears to be little recognized on this day. What appropriate liturgical music is there?

Bits of Mendelssohn 'Paulus'. I think there's a Palestrina motet, 'Magnus Sanctus Paulus' (I may well have my cases wrong there), and I think a setting of the same text by Lukaswewski. 'Saul,was verfolgst du mich' by Schutz is very fine but not really an Evensong piece...

[Nevilevelis]

Byrd - Hodie Simon Petrus. (note the text below)

http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Hodie_Simon_Petrus_(William_Byrd)

Hodie Simon Petrus ascendit crucis patibulum, alleluia.
Hodie clavicularius regni gaudens migravit ad Christum.
Hodie Paulus apostolus, lumen orbis terrae, inclinato capite pro Christi nomine, martyrio coronatus est, alleluia.

[Alain Maréchal]

thank you Caussade and Nevilevelis. He ought to have a separate day. Presumably the Eastern churches make more of him.

[W.Kearns]

Well, 25 January is the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul, so he isn't that hard done by.

[ardcarp]

'Saul,was verfolgst du mich' by Schutz is very fine but not really an Evensong piece...

..and it needs trombones IIRC.

But to the broadcast today. I thought there was some lovely singing and sensitive, musical direction. Thanks, Sheffield.

[DracoM]

Good robust stuff from Sheffield. Many thx.
