The Holy Eucharist: Rite II on the Day of Pentecost, May 28, 2023 at 11 a.m., at Calvary Episcopal Church, Pittsburgh, PA. The Rev. Rob Donehue was the preacher. Assisting: The Reverend Jonathon W. Jensen, Rector, The Reverend Neil K. Raman, Senior Associate Rector, The Reverend Cameron J. Soulis, Associate Rector, The Reverend Leslie G. Reimer, Alan Lewis, Organist and Director of Music, Jon Tyillian, Assistant Organist. Our preacher today is the Reverend Roberston Donehue (Rob). He and his wife, Davis, lived next door to the Reverend Neil Raman during seminary. They are the godparents of Elizabeth and Neil’s son, Matthew. Rob serves as Sub-Dean at Grace Church Cathedral in Charleston, South Carolina. Rob received a BA in history from the University of South Carolina in 2001 and an MA in Theology from the University of Durham (UK) in 2004. He earned his MDiv from the Sewanee School of Theology in 2016 and from 2016-2022 served as the priest in charge and then rector of Saint Anne’s Episcopal Church in Conway, SC. Musical Notes: The Livre d’Orgue of Nicolas de Grigny (1672-1703) dates from the end of the seventeenth century. The composer was the organist of Reims Cathedral for the final years of his sadly brief life; the Massmovements and hymn-settings that make up the published collection are accounted among the finest examples of the French Classic school of organ-composition that flourished in the decades around the turn of the century. The movement titles refer variously to the musical texture (“en Taille” denoting a melody heard in the tenor register, “Duo,” the interplay of two independent musical lines) or to the composer’s desired sonorities (the Récit de Cromorne calls for a decorated melody to be played on a distinctive reed sound, with gentler stops accompanying it, the Dialogue for a full complement of the organ’s various forces marshaled into dialogue with one another). The music at Communion is a text by the English priest and liturgist Percy Dearmer, most frequently heard to music by the mid-twentieth-century American church musician Harold Friedell, but heard this morning, instead, to an anonymous Appalachain tune, whose meter and melodic shape lend themselves well to the later words.
