Description
Commissioned for the 2022 Royal School of Church Music America Carolina Course, Robert Poovey, director of music. An accessible and rhythmically interesting setting of the 1662 text for Evening Prayer.
Review
"The conventional incipits from the officiant are answered by rhythmically active, harmonically adventurous responses in this strong set written for the 2022 RSCM America Carolina Course directed by AAM member Robert Poovey. In several responses, Kaufman surprises the ear with unexpected tonal destinations, yet the cadences never feel contrived. Measures with asymmetric meter increase the element of spontaneity and unpredictability, and they may require additional rehearsal time and attention." --AAM Journal, July-August 2023

Anthem text
O Lord, open thou our lips:
And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.
O God, make speed to save us:
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost:
As it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.
Praise ye the Lord:
The Lord’s name be praised.
The Lord be with you:
And with thy Spirit.
Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us,
Christ, have mercy upon us,
Lord, have mercy upon us.
The Lord’s Prayer
O Lord, show thy mercy upon us:
And grant us thy salvation.
O Lord, save the State:
And mercifully hear us when we call upon thee.
Endue thy ministers with righteousness:
And make thy chosen people joyful.
O Lord, save thy people:
And bless thine inheritance.
Give peace in our time, O Lord:
Because there is none other
that fighteth for us,
but only thou, O God.
O God, make clean our hearts within us:
And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.
The Collects
Amen. Amen. Amen. |
