Sunday....was that yesterday?
Even though I'd been awake and on the computer for hours Sunday morning, I was slow getting motivated, cleaned up, and dressed, so I ended up going to St. Paul's K Street for church. They have the latest starting time in the area at 11:15. The music was very interesting. The mass setting was Charles Villiers Stanford's Communion Service in G, Op. 81, that was actually quite lovely. The offertory anthem was "O thou sweetest Source of gladness" by Charles Wood and the communion motet was "Jesus so lowly, child of the earth" by Harold Friedell. Hymns were Tysk, Was Lebet and King's Lynn, with the as it turned out unneeded communion hymn Jesus, meine Zuversicht getting cut. The Anglican chant for the Psalm was by Henry Walford-Davies. They are getting much friendlier at St. Paul's this week. On the way out, the rector not only said good morning, but asked my name, and the new seminarian standing next to him said hello, as well. None of the parishioners talked to me, of course, but I'm sure I'm not of their social caste.
