Music Notes

Hymn 456: O Love of God

This hymn text by Horatius Bonar, a 19th century Scottish minister, explores the depths of God’s love and how we experience it. The hymn acknowledges how little our finite minds and limited spirits can comprehend God’s love, “beyond all knowledge and all thought.” Instead of leaving us cold and confused, however, the hymn goes on to celebrate the ways God has brought his love to us: through nature, through Jesus, and through the resurrection we all hope for. Calvin Hampton wrote this tune in 1970, dedicating it to his mentor and friend, Vernon de Tar, an important church musician and teacher who was Mary Bates’ great uncle. - Donna Wessel Walker

Agnus Dei

John Rutter (b. 1945), an honorary Fellow of Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, was Director of Music at Clare College (Cambridge) from 1975 to 1979. This morning’s anthem is Movement V of his Requiem. Rutter’s Requiem, like Britten’s War Requiem and Brahms’ German Requiem, uses texts in addition to those of the Roman Catholic Missa Pro Dedunctis; in addition to Psalms 130 and 23, the ones interwoven here are fragments of the burial service from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. - Dennis Powers
