ABOUT THE MUSICIANS Caravanserai’s core members, Yi-Ping Chen (oboe), Jessica Embach Jankauskas (viola), and Eleanor Graham (cello) first met in their toddlers’ Musikgarten class. As recent transplants to the Shenandoah Valley, they all found themselves craving musical collaboration. One conversation at the playground quickly led to late night brainstorming sessions and rehearsals full of laughter.

The core members are the beating heart of Caravanserai, but they are not the only travelers here. Caravanserai functions by expanding and contracting based on the needs of the particular performance. From duos to full chamber orchestra pieces, the focus is on the music. They are pleased to present today's program with Clement Acevedo.

Clement Acevedo has appeared as a soloist and chamber musician in the Philippines, China and the United States. Described by the Philippine Daily Inquirer as having “a biting rhythmic drive,” he has performed with the Metro Manila Concert Orchestra, the University of Santo Tomas Symphony Orchestra, and most recently, with the James Madison Symphony Orchestra. Clement won first prize in the 2004 National Competition for Young Artists in the Philippines; in 2009 he participated as a semi-finalist in the Heida Hermanns International Piano Competition. He holds degrees from the University of the Philippines, West Chester University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, and a DMA from James Madison University. He has presented lectures and masterclasses in the US and the Philippines. His current research interest is on the Russian composer Nikolai Medtner.

We invite you to stay for Choral Evensong, sung by the Trinity Choir. Evensong is a beautiful,

meditative service of prayer, music, and scripture that is about 45 minutes in length.

All are welcome to join us.

OPENING SENTENCES

CONFESSION OF SIN & ABSOLUTION

DEAR friends in Christ, here in the presence of Almighty God, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, so that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy.

All kneel.

ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep, we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against thy holy laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, spare thou those who confess their faults, restore thou those who are penitent, according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord; and grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.

THE Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.

CANTICLE Sung by the choir Magnificat in Eb (The Song of the Blessed Virgin Mary)

Healey Willan (1880 – 1968)

MY soul doth magnify the Lord, * and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded * the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold from henceforth * all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, * and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him * throughout all generations. He hath showed strength with his arm; * he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things, * and the rich he hath sent empty away.

6

He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, * as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.

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.

CANTICLE Sung by the choir Nunc dimittis in Eb (The Song of Simeon) • Willan

LORD, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, * according to thy word; For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, * which thou hast prepared before the face of all people, To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, * and to be the glory of thy people Israel.

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.

The people stand for the Apostles’ Creed

THE APOSTLES’ CREED

I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

OFFICE HYMN Sung by all Eternal Lord of love • Old 124th • Hymnal 149

The people sit for the Anthem.

ANTHEM Sung by the choir Prayer of John Donne • William Bradley Roberts (b. 1947)

Wilt thou forgive that sin, where I begun, which is my sin, though it were done before? Wilt thou forgive those sins through which I run, and do run still, though still I do deplore? When thou hast done, thou hast not done, for I have more. Wilt thou forgive that sin, by which I won others to sin, and made my sin their door? Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shun a year or two, but wallowed in a score? When thou hast done, thou hast not done, for I have more. I have a sin of fear that when I’ve spun my last thread, I shall perish on the shore; swear by thyself, that at my death thy Son shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore. And having done that, thou hast done, I fear nor more.

The Officiant then says

Let us pray.

The people kneel.

INTERCESSIONS AND THANKSGIVINGS

THE GENERAL THANKSGIVING

ALMIGHTY God, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all men. We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful; and that we show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

A PRAYER OF ST. CHRYSOSTOM

ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication unto thee, and hast promised through thy well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name thou wilt be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord,

9

the desires and petitions of thy servants as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
