Choral Requiem for All SoulsSunday, November 10, 2019
11 a.m. Holy Eucharist
• If you are new to Grace Cathedral, please introduce yourself and fill out a welcome card so we can be in touch with you. We’re glad you’re here!
• Join us for coffee and conversation across the plaza in the Chapter House Library after the 8:30 a.m. service or in the Chapter House Dining Room after the 11 a.m. service.
Welcome to Grace CathedralWelcome to this sacred place where we are reimagining church with courage, joy and wonder.
Every year we choose a theme to help us explore new ideas and to listen for God’s calling. In 2019 our theme is the Year of the Body. Our body is the way we meet the world and the world meets us. Although we share much that is in common, our bodies are each unique and particular, and every body is worthy of respect. We believe that God participated in the world through a body.
So we will be examining how we care for bodies, how we treat different kinds of bodies and how we are part of the earth’s body. This year we will dance together, eat together and study
what it means for Christians to understand the church as the Body of Christ.
We invite you to be part of this body, this joyful community, even if your visit is short. How is God inviting you to be more truly alive today? What are our bodies saying to us?
May God bless you in this holy place!
– The Very Rev. Dr. Malcolm Clemens Young, Dean of Grace Cathedral
Welcome to Grace Cathedral
about today’s readingsWisdom 3:1-9; 1 Corinthians 15:50-58; John 5:24-27
Reading texts can be found at the end of the service leaflet
There’s a line that always stops me in my tracks when we pray for the dead: “those whose faith is known to you alone.” It’s a reminder that each of us contains a vast and unknowable interior landscape that can be shared only with God. As we remember those we love and see no more, we need to honor the full complexity of their lives and seek to relax our grip on trying to comprehend their mysteries in full. We sometimes rejoiced to share our lives and stories with them; sometimes their actions made us grumble or flinch. There will be things we never know.
Our readings today remind us that we hope for more wonder, more glory and more understanding beyond the seemingly final mystery of death. We hope this for ourselves, for those we have shared this life with and today especially, for all who have taken that journey beyond our sight, whether they have been our companions or not. I invite you to grieve over the faith and love that never found words, for the hopes that were never spoken or heard. And within this grieving, to offer your own longings and questionings up without reservation, “for grace and mercy are God’s holy ones.” Your faith is always known and loved.
Carol James is a former cathedral staff member and Education for Ministry program mentor. She practices spiritual direction and writes in Humboldt County.

Choral Requiem for All Souls Today, November 10 • 11 a.m. • Cathedral Join us for our annual Requiem Eucharist to remember family and friends who have died. Our Choir of Men and Boys will sing the exquisite Requiem by Maurice Duruflé, accompanied by organ and orchestra.
Service of Remembrance Today, November 10 • 3 p.m. • Cathedral This re-imagined Service of Remembrance commemorates all who have died in armed conflict and raises up the hope of peace. Following 2018’s centenary of Armistice Day, this service has evolved from its Anglican heritage to express the international and inter-religious ties we share in both war and peace. Our guest preacher Luc Ferrier, author of The Unknown Fallen, gives voice to the lesser-known Muslim battalions who served among the Allies in World War I. With military band and bagpipes.
The ReadingsWisdom 3: 1–9
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of
the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be a disaster, and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of others they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt-offering he accepted them. In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them for ever. Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect.
1 Corinthians 15: 50–58
What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I will tell you a mystery! We will not all die, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When this perishable body puts on imperishability, and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
John 5: 24–27
Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life,
and does not come under judgement, but has passed from death to life. Very truly, I tell you, the hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself; and he has given him authority to execute judgement, because he is the Son of Man.”
About today’s music
Maurice Duruflé is considered one of the greatest of the
Parisian organist/composers of the 20th Century. He inherited from his teachers, Charles Tournemire and Louis Vierne, the skill of improvising on the Gregorian melodies, and that is where this requiem had its birth. Originally intended as a solo organ suite, Duruflé soon realized that the inflection of the text made it necessary for the melodies to be sung, and chose to write a piece for chorus and orchestra.
Like Mozart’s Requiem, there is some mystery as to who commissioned the piece. Some evidence suggests that the Vichy government, eager to win French sympathizers, commissioned this sacred piece, though the Duruflé family denies that to this day. Others claim that is was Duruflé’s publisher, Durand, that got kickback from the Vichy Regime. Regardless, the government of the Fourth Republic paid Duruflé to finish the work, and it premiered on French Radio on 2 November, 1947. It is dedicated to the composer’s father, who died in 1945.
Duruflé is the first composer since Victoria in the Renaissance to write a requiem mass that incorporates Gregorian themes from Missa pro defunctis. In fact, the genius behind this work is that the composer merely harmonizes and arranges the chants so that they take on a whole new life, and this blending of old and new gives the piece a timeless quality.
There are four orchestrations, all by the composer: one for full orchestra, one for organ solo, one for piano solo, and one for reduced orchestra with organ. It is this last version we hear today.

Requiem for All SoulsSunday 10 November 2019 • 11 am
“The liturgy for the dead is an Easter liturgy. It finds all its meaning in the resurrection. Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we, too, shall be raised. The liturgy, therefore, is characterized by joy, in the certainty that ‘neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.’
This joy, however, does not make human grief unchristian. The very love we have for each other in Christ brings deep sorrow when we are parted by death. Jesus himself wept at the grave of his friend. So, while we rejoice that one we love has entered into the nearer presence of our Lord, we sorrow in sympathy with those who mourn.” – The Book of Common Prayer (p. 507)
Ask an usher about child care and Sunday school, hearing assistance devices, or large-print leaflets. Restrooms are located on the lower level. Please silence any audible electronic devices.
The GatheringThe people stand as the procession enters.
Introït et Kyrie Sung by the choir in Latin and Greek. Maurice Duruflé

you and thank you for giving them to us to know and to love as companions in our pilgrimage on earth.

Psalm 130 Please remain seated. James Turle, after Henry Purcell
Choir first, then all repeat. With the Lord there is mer-cy; with God there is plen-teous re-demp-tion. Out of the depths have I called to you, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice let your ears consider well
the voice of my supplication. If you, Lord, were to note what is done amiss, *
O Lord, who could stand? For there is forgiveness with you; *
therefore you shall be feared. All With the Lord there is mercy; with God there is plenteous redemption. I wait for you O Lord; my soul waits for you; *
in your word is my hope. My soul waits for the Lord, more than sentries for the morning, *
more than sentries for the morning. O Israel, wait for the Lord, *
for with the Lord there is mercy; There is plenteous redemption with the Lord, *
who shall redeem Israel from all their sins. All With the Lord there is mercy; with God there is plenteous redemption.
The Second Reading 1 Corinthians 15: 50–58
Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
Responsory Sung in Latin. Duruflé
Choir Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death, on that fearful day when the heavens are moved and the earth when thou shalt come to judge the world through fire. I am made to tremble, and I fear, when the desolation shall come, and also the coming wrath. That day, the day of wrath, calamity, and misery, that terrible and exceedingly bitter day. Rest eternal grant them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them.
The people stand as the Gospel procession moves.

The Apostles’ Creed The people stand.
Presider In the assurance of eternal life given at Baptism, let us proclaim our faith and say,
All I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Prayers of the People adapted from the Prayers of the People, Form A Enriching our Worship 3

All Hear our prayer. Grant that all who have been baptized into Christ’s death and resurrection

Grant to all who mourn, a sure confidence in your tender mercy, that, casting all their sorrow on you, they may know the consolation of your love. God, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.
4
Give courage to all who are bereaved, that they may hold fast to the comfort of a holy hope, and joyful expectation of eternal life with those they love. God, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.
Help us entrust the dead to your never-failing care and love. Receive them into the arms of your mercy, and remember them according to the favor you bear for your people. God, in your mercy: Hear our prayer.
Silence may be kept. The presider concludes with another prayer.
Presider Gracious God, to whom no prayer is offered without hope of mercy: give us your consolation. Strengthen our faith in your unfailing compassion; deliver us from despair, and help us to know your peace, which passes all understanding. Amen. (EOW3, p. 68)
The Peace

All may greet each other in the name of Christ.

“Of all the arts, music is the most available and the most universal. It springs out of the very speech
and soul of a person or a community. It uses the most universal instrument, the human voice, and sounds created by earthy things like catgut and skin and wood and brass.” – F. Thomas Trotter
❖ ❖ ❖
At Grace Cathedral, we invite the power, the richness, the universality of music into our experience here. Music is a tradition that brings together people of all faiths and none, from here and abroad, joined by their passion for community. Your support of music at Grace Cathedral is integral to the robust place it holds in our life here together.

This Requiem for All Souls is offered in loving memory of all the departed, especially:
“The work of Maurice Duruf lé pertains no more to tomorrow than to today or
yesterday: it bears a permanent character which is communicated by the immutability of the faith that enlivens it. Constructed by pious hands, this score is outside of time. Inspired by the Gregorian, it is the expression of a belief rather than the voice of a man.
If the requiems of Mozart, Berlioz, or Fauré instruct us very exactly on the state of soul of their authors in the face of death, if the Requiem of Verdi is the cry of a people at a specif ic era, Duruf lé’s mass brings a great peace, an absolute serenity, as anonymous as the collective impetus to which we owe our cathedrals….” –Henriette Roget

This Requiem for All Souls is offered in loving memory of all the departed, especially:
“Duruf lé’s Requiem is not an ethereal work that sings about detachment from earthly
concerns. It ref lects, in the immutable form of Christian prayer, the anguish of mankind before the mystery of his f inal end. It is often dramatic, or f illed with resignation, or with hope, or with terror, like the very words of Scripture that serve as the liturgy. It tends to translate human sentiments before their terrifying, inexplicable, or consoling destiny.” –Fr. François Marchal
