Special Compline of Memorial & Lament
THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 9:30 P.M., in the cathedral nave, livestreamed, and broadcast on Classical KING
This Sunday marks the three-year anniversary of the closure of the cathedral and the suspension of in-person liturgies due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While on the surface most aspects of our lives and the life of the cathedral are "back to normal," the grief, loss, and division from that difficult time remain. Our tradition teaches the importance, even the necessity, of lament as a response to such painful events. The Office of Compline this Sunday will be offered with special intention for all that we have lost—and the relationships that were broken—during the events of 2020–2022. The service will begin with the chant from the Office of the Dead, Requiem aeternam, sung in procession with incense, and will conclude with a presentation of Lamentations, written in 1973 for the Compline Choir and solo cello. Cathedral member Page Smith, the cellist for whom the work was written, will join the choir, as will Dean Steve Thomason. Join in person or via livestream for this special observance. Please note that incense will be used.

Organ by Night
THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 19, immediately following Compline
Mark McDonald, Assistant Organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria BC, will offer this month's Organ by Night recital following Compline. He will offer music by Buxtehude, Bach, and Hambraeus, and the dramatic Berceuse and Final from Stravinsky's Firebird Suite—all selected to resonate with the special liturgy of lament and reconciliation being offered by The Compline Choir this Sunday night. On every third Sunday of the month, organists offer 20 minutes of music on the mighty Flentrop organ, and encourage listeners to join them in the gallery to see and hear the organ and organist up close. They are also happy to answer questions about the music and the organ itself.

The Sorrowful Mysteries in Thomsen Chapel
TOMORROW, SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 7:30 P.M., and THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 2:30 P.M. (two identical performances), in Thomsen Chapel
The composer Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (1644–1704) is remembered in music history principally for two reasons: for the virtuosity of his writing for the violin, which pushed the limits of what was possible on the instrument in the 17th century, and his innovations in "program music," or instrumental music written to represent specific scenes or narratives. Biber did not invent the idea of program music, but he took it to new levels of creativity, in a way that would be taken up in subsequent centuries in works like Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Both virtuosity and narrativity reach a zenith in Biber's masterwork, The Mystery Sontatas, fifteen works depicting scenes from the life and death of Jesus and his mother Mary.
Drawing on the traditional Catholic devotional practice of The Mysteries of the Rosary, these scenes are organized into groups of five—the first five deal with Jesus' birth and childhood, and are called "The Joyful Mysteries"; the last five deal with Jesus' resurrection and events that follow, and are called "The Glorious Mysteries." The middle five, "The Sorrowful Mysteries," are especially appropriate to the season of Lent, and will be performed in Thomsen Chapel this weekend. They are:
-
VI. The Agony in the Garden
-
VII. The Scourging at the Pillar
-
VIII. The Crown of Thorns
-
IX. Jesus Carries the Cross
-
X. The Crucifixion
For these intense and violent scenes, Biber wrote some of the most technically challenging violin music of the entire seventeenth century. Each movement calls for a completely unique re-tuning of the instrument, a technique called scordatura. (For example, for The Agony in the Garden the lower two stings of the violin are tuned up a half-step, while the top two strings are tuned down a whole step—and the tunings only become more complicated in the subsequent movements). In these unfamiliar tunings, Biber writes breathtaking passagework, intricate polyphony on multiple strings at once, and melodies of haunting expressivity.

THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 7:30–9 P.M., Leffler House
Nothing is more human than our sexuality. The world can send many signals about the body, sex and sexuality that can be confusing or toxic. In this conversation with Dean Steve Thomason, we'll discuss a theology of sexuality and how it can deeply resonate with the divine mystery and the gift of desire that flows from it. We'll consider how an understanding of sexuality does not have to be distorted and can be life-giving as we lean into our inherent goodness as sexual beings. Light refreshments provided. Afterward, some may choose to go to Compline together. Do you have questions you may like to see explored? Email Luke Abdow in advance: labdow@saintmarks.org

Ebony Grissom reflects on the stunning new images Saint Mark’s children will see as we move through Lent with the stories of the life of Jesus, and wonders about the impact of seeing the Holy Family, especially Jesus, as Black will have in the long work of dismantling racism.
Regular twice-monthly Godly Play gatherings for kids age 3 and up are now offered on the first and third Sunday of the month at 10:10 a.m. the Godly Play classroom is located in the St. Nicholas Building, just across the north parking lot, on the second floor.

FROM OUR NEIGHBORS
The Seattle Choral Company presents: The Fruit of Silence featuring John Rutter’s Requiem
SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 8 P.M., in the cathedral nave; Pre-concert talk with director Freddie Coleman at 7 p.m.
The Seattle Choral Company (A Saint Mark's Cathedral Artist-in-residence choir) presents their mid-season concert featuring three works on a theme of darkness giving way to light. Widely recognized by musicians worldwide, John Rutter is beloved for his lush melodies and orchestrations. Rutter’s Requiem is unmistakably optimistic in its message of hope and solace, expressed through uplifting musical themes and beautiful texts in both Latin and English. Bob Chilcott’s Canticles of Light exudes comfort, and the texts, sung at the service of Compline in the evening and Matins in the morning, ask for God’s light to protect us through the night and to allay our fears. In 2013 Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks set Mother Teresa’s universal prayer of peace to music, creating a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that has become a staple for choirs around the world. More information and tickets are available here.
