Down with KCP, Wells 2016: A Day In the Life

Last July 11-17, I spent the most amazing week in Wells, Somerset, England singing with The King’s Counterpoint choir at Wells Cathedral. 

The King’s Counterpoint had been around for 2 years when a they secured a week long residency at Wells Cathedral, in Wells, Somerset, England.  Typically choirs won’t be assigned for a residency for 2 years out, but the directors had some connections and they secured us a spot for 9 months out.  There was a lot of fundraising going on behind the scenes to help with the cost of the choir going abroad, and we had a lot of practicing to do!  

As a resident choir you are to sing the services everyday.  Due to the nature of Anglican churches, that means you’re learning new music for every day.  We received our music in late May, had only 11 rehearsals as a choir (most of our work is done on our own), before we hopped on a plane to head to the UK. 

The members of the choir changed throughout the two years, and we only have concerts every 3 months, so it had been hard to form a bond with members, this experience changed everything.  We started bonding without SUPER early flight to Atlanta, a 10 hour layover, a 7 hour flight to London, a 3 hour line for customs, and a 3 hour bus ride.  By then we knew more about EVERYONE in the choir, including how we handle stress :) In addition to that bonding time, majority of us stayed together in the dorms for the Wells Cathedral School, so we lived together, shared bathrooms (men and women), and ate breakfast in the cafeteria together every morning. 

We had a pretty routine schedule most days that looked like this:

7:00am              Wake-up, get ready 8:00-9:00am      Breakfast in the cafeteria 9:30-11:30am    Rehearsal in the Choir School 11:30-3:30pm    Lunch, Free time 4:00pm-4:45pm Rehearsal in Cathedral Quire 5:15pm-6:00pm Evensong 6:00pm-?           Dinner, Free time

I never sang for a service at an Anglican Cathedral so much of this was foreign to me.  As a resident choir, you participate in Evensong every day, and on Sunday also the Matins and Eucharist.    You also had to wear a uniform consisting of closed toe black shoes, a black Cassock (long robe), and surplice (a white tunic that goes over the Cassock).  I grew up in a Evangelical Mennonite church turned nondenominational community church, so I was lost on just about everything: how to sing a chant; what a “Mag & Nunc” or “Preces & Responses” were; and even the titles of the services. 

Here’s a breakdown of the service and what it all is (to the best of my knowledge and memory).

Evensong:  It is a primarily sung service in the evening after the work day has ended, and before dinner.  It is held in the quire and follows this format:

Introit: We used a choir member who is also a Organist to play our introit

Preces & Responses: Melodic prayers led by a cantor, followed by the choir singing the response     Cantor: O Lord, open thou our lips:     People: And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise.     Cantor: O God, make speed to save us:     People: O Lord, make haste to help us.     Cantor: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.     People: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,                                        world  without end. Amen.     Cantor: Praise ye the Lord.     People: The Lord's name be praised.

Psalms:  Psalms of the day following the Anglican Liturgy, that are sung in chant form, ending in the Gloria Patri (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.)

Lessons:  The Priest will give two lessons, one each from the Old and New Testament Canticles: A Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) and Nunc Dimitis (Simeon 2:28-32) that follow each of the lessons, each ending the the Gloria Patri.  Prayers: Spoken prayers by the Priest, praying for those of the congregation, state, nation, and world. Collects:  Sung collects, one that follow the liturgy, and two that are standard. Anthem: a celebratory piece that typically expands upon the lessons, psalms, etc., from the day.

We did Evensong Monday-Wednesday, had Thursday off (due to a scheduling error), Friday-Sunday, with the addition of Holy Communion and Eucharist on Sunday, as well. 

Choral Eucharist: the main Anglican service, similar to a mass, taking place on Sunday mornings with prayers, readings from both testaments, and ending with communion. (This program was modified some from it’s traditional form for our service)

Introit

Mass: Benedictus (Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest) & Agnus Dei (O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. ... grant us peace.)

Anthem

Choral Matins: follows the Eucharist and the sevenfold monastic cycle of prayer.  It’s not as common but happens is most British Cathedrals, like Wells Cathedral.  It contains prayers and readings from both testaments.

Psalms

Canticle: Te Deum

Canticle: Jubilate Deo (Psalm 100)

Anthem

We sang some of the most wonderful pieces of music this week.  Some were difficult to get the hang of, but it was well worth the work to hear it all come together in such an amazing cathedral and acoustic.  We were lucky enough to have an ORIGINAL “Preces & Responses” written for us by an English composer, Graham Keitch, who also wrote an two anthems for us!

Here are the pieces we sang:

Magnificant and Nunc Dimittis George Dyson, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in F David Hogan, Mount St. Alban Service Graham Keitch, The Charleston Service Herbert Sumison, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in A CS Lang, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in F Harold Friedel, Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis in F Anthems Let us LOve in Deed and Truth, Larry King Ubi Carita, Ola Gjeilo Absalon Fili mi, Graham Keitch THe Souls of the Righteous, Geraint Lewis Greater Love, John Ireland No Eye has Seen, No Ear Has Heard, Graham Keitch My Soul’s Been Anchored in the Lord, Moses Hogan Seek Him that Maketh the Seven Stars, Jonathon Dove

Eucharist Missa Brevis (Benedictus & Agnus Dei), Andrea Gabrielli

Having this experience was certainly amazing.  The choir has been contracted to have a residency in August 2018 at both Canterbury Cathedral (Canterbury, Kent, England), and Westminster Abbey (London, England).  Hopefully everything works out and I’m able to partake in that experience, as well! More pictures from the trip: Traveling there, around the cathedral, around the town, and more!
