Nathan’s Notes

Today’s anthem include words from a longer very ancient prayer. It’s attributed to St. Patrick, the second Bishop of Ireland- and dates from the 5th century. This kind of prayer is meant to invoke God’s protection against every kind of evil. You can find a part of this prayer in Voices United, hymn 317. The music is very contemporary, using surprising harmonies to enhance the words we sing.

This week in the Winnipeg Presbytery prayer cycle we remember the clients and staff of United Church Halfway Homes.

Nathan’s Notes October 28th

Sine Nomine is the name of the tune we sing to “For all the Saints,” “Go to the World,” and others. It’s a latin term for “With no name.” Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote this well known tune in 1906, and so many years later it still stands as one of our most recognizable in the Anglican, and Protestant church. A neat feature is the bass line- the lowest notes walking along the bottom of the tune. It never stops! It evokes a sense of marching- marching behind the saints that lived their lives before us. If you have a good view, be sure to check out Don Menzies’ feet as they pedal along!
