Prelude: J. Wayne Kerr, Chorale Prelude on Complainer
The tune Complainer dates from 1835 in the US. One new text associated with the tune is by Fred Pratt Green, from 1973. When Jesus came to Jordan to be baptized by John, he did not come for pardon but as the sinless one. He came to share repentance with all who mourn their sins, to speak the vital sentence with which good news begins.
Offertory: Arr. Valeria A. Foster, Take me to the water
An arrangement of GTG #480
Postlude: William H. Harris, Epilogue on Dix
The Epiphany text “As with gladness men of old” is often sung to the tune Dix. Harris hides the tune all over in this setting, from the uppermost voice to the pedals.
