3 The Dean s Welcome Whether you are a visitor or a regular worshipper at St George s Chapel, you may be sure that you are most welcome. I hope very much that this Guide to Services and Music in the Chapel will provide all the information you need to ensure that you can participate in our worship comfortably and refl ectively. Sitting in the Chapel, we see the results of centuries of architectural and artistic achievement. We also experience a deep sense of this nation s history, and feel as though we come close to some of those who have shaped it. However, it is the fact that, through the centuries, prayer and praise have been offered here each and every day that most contributes to this place s very special atmosphere. As you join in our daily worship, I pray that you will be richly blessed, and that you will go on your way in peace. David Conner Summer at St George s Chapel Over the Summer at St George s Chapel, the Chapel Choir is on holiday. However, Visiting Choirs from this country and overseas carry on the sung services over this period. The Dean and Canons are pleased to welcome these choirs, who sing weekend and some weekday services. Every Sunday morning a collection is received for a different cause; we try to support a good mix of local, national and international charities. However, over the summer, all Sunday morning collections are received for the Dean and Canons Emergency Fund and the College of St George. The Emergency fund is then available at any time of year in order that the Dean & Canons can make immediate donations to major appeals such as to the Disaster Emergencies Committee (DEC) for Somalia. 3

4 Services at St George s Chapel Since its foundation by King Edward III, the College of St George has sought to fulfi l its vocation in this place to offer prayer to Almighty God for the Sovereign, the Companions of the Order of the Garter, this nation and the needs of the world. The key aspect of this vocation to prayer lies in the daily singing or saying of the Offi ces (Mattins and Evensong) and the celebration of the Eucharist. The origins of Mattins and Evensong go back to the earliest Christian communities and, in their current form, have their roots in the patterns of monastic worship which have formed a fundamental part of Christian spirituality over many centuries. In monastic houses, short services called Offi ces consisting of psalms, readings, canticles, responsories and prayers were said or sung throughout the day and night so that the whole daily routine of the community could be dedicated to God and praise and prayer be offered. With the introduction of The Book of Common Prayer in the course of the English Reformation, elements of these shorter Offi ces were combined to form the two principal Offi ces of Mattins in the morning and Evensong in the evening. Mattins and Evensong both follow a similar structure: the opening responses; the psalms appointed for the day; an Old Testament reading; a canticle; a New Testament reading; the Apostles Creed; the Lord s Prayer, the collect (prayer) for the day and other bidding prayers or responses. Anthems are usually included in sung services, as, at weekends, are hymns. The seasons of the Church s Year are refl ected in the readings, collects, hymns and anthems. In St George s Chapel, Mattins is said each weekday at 7.30am. This follows a modern language version of the Offi ce from Common Worship: Services and Prayers for the Church of England and the order of service may be found in the booklets provided. On Sundays, Mattins is sung at am and follows an adapted version of the Offi ce from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. The order of service may be found in the Sunday service booklet; the readings for Sunday Mattins are provided on the accompanying sheet. 4

5 In term time Evensong is sung daily (other than Wednesdays when it is said) at 5.15 pm. The order for Evensong follows the Offi ce from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and may be found on the laminated cards. On major Saints days and festivals, Festal Evensong is sung, including special anthems, hymns and Biblical readings to refl ect the nature of the feast. The Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion or the Mass, is the central act of Christian worship and is celebrated each day in St George s Chapel. The Eucharist is focused upon the taking, blessing and sharing of bread and wine, representing the body and blood of Christ, following his commandment in the Gospels to do this in remembrance of me. The structure of the Eucharist follows largely that which Christians have celebrated from the very earliest times: the gathering; a rite of penitence and absolution; the collect (prayer) for the day; an Old or New Testament reading; a portion of the Gospels; the bidding prayers; the sharing of the peace; the Eucharistic Prayer (including the canticles Sanctus and Benedictus); the Lord s Prayer; the breaking of the bread and distribution of Communion; the post-communion prayer and dismissal. On Sundays and greater festivals when the Eucharist is sung hymns, the canticle of praise Gloria in excelsis Deo and the Nicene Creed are also included. In St George s Chapel, a said Eucharist is celebrated each weekday at 8am (and also at 12 noon on Fridays) and on Sundays at 8.30am. On Sundays at 12 noon and on greater festivals and holy days at 5.15 pm, the Eucharist is sung. The appropriate orders of service may be found in the booklets or cards provided. At the Sung Eucharist the canticles that form an integral part of the liturgy (that is, the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei) are sung to music set by various composers over the centuries to enhance and beautify this most signifi cant act of Christian worship. 5
