The University of Louisville Historical Instrument Ensembles present music of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras, in most cases using replicas of historical instruments. (For instance, the violins played tonight are modern-style instruments but the bows are historical copies.) Our members include U of L graduate students, undergraduate students, and faculty. With the exception of violinists, students for the most part learn how to play the instruments only after arriving at the University; thus, it is in many ways a laboratory experience for students, who enjoy access to the University collection of over 50 replica instruments including recorders, viole da gamba (“viols”), harpsichords, and lutes in addition to a variety of other instruments. Each group rehearses one hour per week.
Jack Ashworth has directed the U of L Early Music Ensemble and Historical Instrument Ensembles since coming to Louisville in 1977 after receiving the DMA from Stanford University. He has performed with the Ashland, Oregon Shakespeare Festival Musicians, the Newberry Consort, the Folger Consort, and Fretwork, as well as soloists including Wieland Kuijken, Rachel Barton Pine, Cléa Galhano, Marion Verbruggen and others. Jack retired from full time teaching in December 2013, but continues to teach harpsichord, organ and early music activities at U of L. He also plays fiddle in the Buzzard Rock String Band.

(1583-1625) 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 Lessons • silence is kept after each reading for reflection
First Lesson
Exodus 22:21–27
You shall not wrong or oppress a resident alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt. You shall not abuse any widow or orphan. If you do abuse them, when they cry out to me, I will surely heed their cry; my wrath will burn, and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives shall become widows and your children orphans. If you lend money to my people,
Magnificat
Book of Common Prayer page 119
Second Lesson
to the poor among you, you shall not deal with them as a creditor; you shall not exact interest from them. If you take your neighbour’s cloak in pawn, you shall restore it before the sun goes down; for it may be your neighbour’s only clothing to use as cover; in what else shall that person sleep? And if your neighbour cries out to me, I will listen, for I am compassionate.
Tone VIII with fauxbourdons by Thomas Morley
(1557/1558-1602)
John 1.9-18
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived
among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. (John testified to him and cried out, ‘This was he of whom I said, “He who comes after me ranks ahead of me because he was before me.” ’) From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made him known.

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 Lord’s Prayer • spoken by all Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen
Suffrages 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.

Anthem
Through the Day Thy Love Has Spared Us
Through the day thy love has spared us; Now we lay us down to rest; Through the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest: Jesu thou our guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in thee.
Thomas Morley
Pilgrims here on earth and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes, Us and ours preserve from danger; In thine arms may we repose, And when life’s sad day is past, Rest with thee in heaven at last.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving • said by all Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that you have done for us. We thank you for the splendor of the whole creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life, and for the mystery of love. We thank you for the blessing of family and friends, and for the loving care which surrounds us on every side.
We thank you for setting us at tasks which demand our best efforts, and for leading us to accomplishments which satisfy and delight us. We thank you also for those disappointments and failures that lead us to acknowledge our dependence on you alone.
Above all, we thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the truth of his Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast obedience, by which he overcame temptation; for his dying, through which he overcame death; and for his rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom.
Grant us the gift of your Spirit, that we may know him and make him known; and through him, at all times and in all places, may give thanks to you in all things. Amen.

Welcome
Established in 1822, Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest house of worship in Louisville. The Cathedral has and continues to uphold the highest standard for music and worship. While the great traditions of the church are at risk of being lost in our culture, the Cathedral desires to maintain our heritage of Anglican music and historical liturgies while always looking forward and being relevant in our world today. Thank you for your presence here this evening. ​
Music at the Cathedral Established in 1822, Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest house of worship in Louisville. The Cathedral has and continues to uphold the highest standard for music and worship. While the great traditions of the church are at risk of being lost in our culture, the Cathedral desires to maintain our heritage of Anglican music and historical liturgies while always looking forward and being relevant in our world today. With this in mind, our worship reflects the contemplative nature of evening worship through Evensong to the joyous celebrations of the nativity and resurrection.
The Cathedral Choir is the resident choral ensemble at the Cathedral, singing all principal services. The choir also sings services for the Diocese of Kentucky, monthly Evensongs, and the annual Advent Lessons and Carols. A mixed choir of adults, the choir sings music from all eras, while focusing approximately fifty percent of their repertoire to music by American composers. The Cathedral Choir has been featured on both local and national public radio programs numerous times. Recordings available by the Cathedral Choir include An American Evening: Music by American Composers and Lux Aeterna-Music spanning a thousand years with the common theme of light. Join us for Eucharist each Sunday at 10:30 AM and visit the Cathedral’s website for additional service information.
