Reflections…Martin Neary
Tonight’s ‘Music for Royal Occasions’ was inspired by some
of the great events in British history, ranging from the
jubilant excitement of Coronations and Royal Weddings to
the outpouring of grief after the death of a much loved
Princess. For over 1000 years, since Edgar was crowned in
Westminster Abbey in 973, music has played an increasingly
important role.
My own life in music, since at the age of eight I became one
of the Children of His Majesty’s Chapels Royal, has enabled
me to take part first as a chorister and later as Organist and
Master of the Choristers at Westminster Abbey in some
unforgettable occasions. While I have comparatively little
memory of my first services in St. James’s Palace Chapel, I
do remember the time it took me to get into the Children’s
uniform - of black stockings, red breeches, red frock coat and
white ruff.
Martin Neary, 1953 Chorister at the
Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II
Wearing this unusual outfit, with the design dating from the age of Charles II, helped
make me aware of the tradition into which I was entering. But I had no idea what this
might involve. Later I was to discover that “my” choir of the Chapel Royal, used to
accompany the King to war, as at Agincourt in 1415 when Henry V’s army defeated King
Charles of France, or to impress, as in 1520 at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, when Henry
VIII made his ill-fated attempt to forge an alliance with François I.
But to get back to this evening’s program, I should admit straightaway that the opening
anthem, Let the people praise thee, O God, composed by the Welsh composer, William
Mathias’ in 1981 for the Marriage in St. Paul’s Cathedral of the Prince and Princess of
Wales, like you along with 750 million others around the world, I merely watched on
television! That service also included the exhilarating last two movements from Handel’s
oratorio, Samson, and it is a great pleasure to have Diane Penning as the soprano soloist
in Let the bright Seraphim.
As a chorister, at the Queen’s Coronation in 1953, I loved singing Samuel Sebastian
Wesley’s miniature Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, and, even more, Zadok the
priest, where Handel exploited brilliantly the vast spaces of Westminster Abbey in the
prelude before the exultant first choir entry. Our next wedding anthem, Laudate
Dominum for soprano soloist and choir comes from Mozart’s ‘Vespers solenne de
confessore’, and was sung in Westminster Abbey at the Marriage of the Duke and
Duchess of York in 1997.
Royal weddings and Coronations are not just musical celebrations however. But if
Horace Walpole’s celebrated comment of 1761, after the Coronation of George III:
“What is the finest sight in the world? A Coronation, What do people most talk about? A
Coronation” was equally true in 1953, it is a sobering thought that the second question
would have certainly drawn alternative answers in September, 1997.
It was essential that the musical elements in the funeral service should retain the dignity
and tradition of past ceremonies, while also reflecting if possible something personal to
Princess Diana. And so the service began with the Burial Sentences, from the Book of
Common Prayer, set by William Croft (Organist of Westminster Abbey, 1708 -27) who
in homage to his predecessor but one, Henry Purcell, included Purcell’s unsurpassed
setting of Thou knowest, Lord the secrets of our hearts, for reasons which every
thinking musician will understand. Purcell had composed this for the funeral of his
beloved Queen Mary on March 5th 1695, only for it to be sung at his own funeral in
November the same year.
The final piece of choral music at Princess Diana’s Funeral, on the other hand, had been
set only four years earlier, in 1993. The British composer, John Tavener, had written
Song for Athene in memory of a young Greek actress, who had been tragically killed in a
car accident. Tavener’s setting reflects Athene’s love of music and of the Orthodox
Church, with texts chosen from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, as well as part of the Orthodox
Funeral Service. I loved the music, not least because it conveyed so strongly the Christian
message of hope even at times of extreme tragedy.
And so our programme appropriately concludes on a triumphant note of Thanksgiving,
with Vaughan Williams’ (1953 Coronation) setting of The Old Hundredth Psalm Tune,
which was originally scored for all available trumpets, full orchestra, a choir of 400, and
a congregation of over 6000! Believe it or not, after nearly 1000 years, this was the first
time (after nearly 1000 years) at a Coronation, that the congregation had had a chance to
sing anything other than the Veni Creator and the National Anthem. I hope tonight, with
the help of our instrumentalists and you, our audience, that we will raise the roof!
Sincerely,
Martin Neary

Let the People Praise Thee, O God
William Mathias
Text: Psalm 67
(1934-1992)
Let the people praise thee, O God:
Yea, let all the people praise thee.
O let the nations rejoice and be glad:
For thou shalt judge the folk righteously,
And govern the nations upon earth.
Let the people praise thee, O God:
Yea, let all the people praise thee.
O let the nations rejoice and be glad:
Then shall the earth bring forth her increase,
And God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.
God shall bless us and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
God be merciful unto us and bless us,
And shew us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us.
That thy way may be known upon earth: thy saving health among all nations.
Let the people praise thee, O God:
Yea, let all the people praise thee.
O let the nations rejoice and be glad:
Glory be to Father, and to the Son, and the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end, Amen.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee.
The darkness is no darkness with thee, but the night is as clear as the day.
The darkness and the light to thee are both alike.
God is light and in him is no darkness at all.
Oh let my soul live and it shall praise thee.
For thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory, for evermore.

Burial Sentences “I Am the Resurrection and the Life”
Text: Book of Common Prayer
William Croft
(1678-1727)
I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in
me shall never die. (St. John 11:25, 26)
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day
upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my
flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall
behold, and not another. (Job 19:25-27)
We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing
out. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of
the Lord. (1Timothy 6: 7; Job 1: 21)
Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of
misery. He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower; he fleeth as it were a
shadow, and never continueth in one stay. (Job 14: 1-3)
~
Thou knowest, Lord, the Secrets of Our Hearts
Henry Purcell
(1569-1695)
Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; shut not thy merciful ears
unto our prayer; but spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty, O holy
and most merciful Savior, thou most worthy Judge eternal, suffer us not, at
our last hour, for any pains of death, to fall from thee. Amen (Book of Common Prayer)
Burial Sentences “The Committal”
~
William Croft
(1678-1727)
I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me, Write, from henceforth blessed
are the dead which die in the Lord: even so saith the Spirit;
for they rest from their labours.
I Vow to Thee My Country (Thaxted)
Gustav Holst
Text: Sir Cecil Authur Spring-Rice (1859-1918)
(1874-1934)
(Sung by Congregation & Choir)
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are
peace.
~
I would be true (Air from “County Derry”)
I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, for there is much to suffer;
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
I would be friend of all—the foe, the friendless;
I would be giving, and forget the gift;
I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and love, and live.

(b.1940)
Song for Athene
Text: Hamlet Act V ~ Luke 23 ~ Orthodox Service
John Tavener
(b. 1944)
Alleluia. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Alleluia. Remember me, O Lord, when you come into your kingdom.
Alleluia. Give rest, O Lord, to your handmaid, who has fallen asleep.
Alleluia. The Choir of Saints have found the well-spring of life and door of
Paradise.
Alleluia. Life: a shadow and a dream.
Alleluia. Weeping at the grave creates the song: Alleluia.
Come, enjoy rewards and crowns I have prepared for you.

The Old Hundreth
arranged Ralph Vaughan Williams
(1872-1958)
All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice,
Him serve with fear, his praise foretell,
Come ye before him, and rejoice.
The Lord, ye know, is God indeed,
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.
(Choir Alone)
O enter then his gates with praise,
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
For why? The Lord our God is good,
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
(All)
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heaven and earth adore,
From men and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore. Amen

Dr. Martin Neary – Organist & Choir Master
It is a great privilege and joy to have Dr. Martin Neary training and directing
the Grand Rapids Choir of Men & Boys for a third consecutive year.
British organist and conductor Martin Neary, who was Organist and Master of
the Choristers at Winchester Cathedral (1972–87) and Westminster Abbey
(1988–98), is especially noted for championing contemporary church music
and for his groundbreaking performances of music by Bach and Purcell.
In 1978 Neary directed the first complete performance in England of Bach’s
St. Matthew Passion with period instruments, and in 1995, conducted two
televised programs marking the tercentenary of the death of Henry Purcell. His
CD with the Westminster Abbey Choir and the New London Consort, Music
for Queen Mary, was nominated for a Grammy.
Martin Neary is particularly associated with contemporary British composers Jonathan Harvey and John
Tavener, with over thirty commissions and premieres. As organist, Martin Neary has also programmed
many new works, not least in his recitals at the Royal Festival Hall in London. He is the only second person
to have been elected twice as president of the Royal College of Organists.
Martin Neary, who read theology and music at Cambridge University and later studied conducting at
Tanglewood under Erich Leinsdorf, and with André Marchal in Paris, has received numerous awards.
Among them his appointment as Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order by the Queen, in recognition of
his services for choosing and directing the music at the funeral of Princess Diana.
Diane Penning – Soprano
Equally at home in classical repertoire and pops, Diane has performed with
orchestras around the country.
Diane’s work in oratorio includes Bach’s B minor Mass and Christmas
Oratorio; Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony; Faure’s Requiem; Handel’s Messiah;
Haydn’s Creation, Harmonie Messe, and Lord Nelson Mass; Mozart’s
Requiem; Orff’s Carmina Burana; Poulenc’s Gloria; Rutter’s Magnificat under
the baton of Sir David Willcocks; and Vaughan Williams’s Dona Nobis
Pacem, with such organizations as the Apollo Chorus in Chicago’s Orchestra
Hall, the Kalamazoo Bach Festival, and the Calvin College Oratorio Society.
Her opera roles include Adele in Die Fledermaus, Frasquita in Carmen,
Musetta in La Boheme, and Papagena in The Magic Flute.
She holds degrees in music and voice from the University of Michigan (BM) and Western Michigan
University (MM in voice performance.)
Diane’s professional recordings include Phantom Phantasy, with the Grand Rapids Symphony; Christmas
Festival, with the Czek National Orchestra; Everything Under the Sun, with pianist Rich Ridenour; Simply
Gershwin, with pianist Paul Bisaccia; and Sacred Space, with Composer/Performer Nicholas Palmer.
Jonathan Karnes – Trumpet
Jonathan Karnes is a Midwest native who has been living and performing in the
Grand Rapids area for the past ten years. He performs regularly with
the Calvin Community Symphony, the Hark Up Horns, the St. Andrew’s
Cathedral Brass, and has performed in numerous area churches for weddings
and worship services. In the past he has studied with Greg Good and Charley
Lea. Besides freelance trumpet playing in the Grand Rapids area, Jonathan is
also pursuing a PhD in molecular biology at the Van Andel Institute.
Savannah Ramsey & Daniel Christensen – Trumpet
Patterson McKinney – Timpani
Savannah, Daniel & Patterson are all music majors at GRCC where the choir
makes its home. Savannah and Daniel are students of Lynn Asper. Patterson
studies percussion with Brandon Grinwis. The choir is so blessed to be surrounded by dedicated young
musicians like these three students you will hear tonight. What great role models to inspire our boys to
continue to pursue music as a life’s avocation…and GRCC, what a great place to begin a degree in music.
GRCMB Guest Director March 28 – April 1, 2011
The Grand Rapids Choir of Men & Boys is thrilled to announce a week of
training and performances by the choir under the leadership of Andrew
Nethsingha, Director of Music at St John’s College, Cambridge. Andrew has
performed in the UK, North America, South Africa, China, and many European
countries. His concerts in recent months have been in Germany, Hungary and
Holland.
Andrew’s early musical training was as a chorister in Exeter Cathedral, where
his father was Organist for over quarter of a century. He later studied at the Royal College of Music, where
he won seven prizes, and at St John’s College, Cambridge. He has held Organ Scholarships under Dr
Christopher Robinson and Dr George Guest. He worked at Wells, Truro and Gloucester Cathedrals before
taking up his present post in September 2007. Other recent positions have been as Artistic Director of the
Gloucester Three Choirs Festival, and Musical Director of Gloucester Choral Society. He has served as
President of the Cathedral Organists’ Association.
Andrew has worked regularly with some of the UK’s leading orchestras. Performances with the
Philharmonia have included Britten War Requiem, Mahler Symphony no. 8 and Elgar The Kingdom, as
well as a programme of Vaughan Williams and Finzi broadcast on BBC Radio 3. His most recent
performances with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have included Gershwin An American in Paris and
Elgar Sea Pictures. He has also worked with the City of Birmingham Symphony and BBC Concert
Orchestras and conducted a performance of Handel’s Messiah in Beijing.
Scott Bosscher, GRCMB’s Director of Music, had the privilege to sing and study under the guidance of
Andrew Nethsingha during his years as a choral scholar at Wells Cathedral.
The Grand Rapids Choir of Men & Boys would like to give Special Thanks
to our donors who have helped us get our 21st Season off to a strong start!
Won’t you join with them in supporting the Choir as our year begins to unfold!
