IN MEMORIAM

Harold W. McGraw, Jr.

1918-2010 In the fall of 2006 Harold McGraw gave a gift and advice that began the Church Music Institute. He said, “I will make a gift to begin this venture but you must fi nd others who will join you. Th is is a good idea and the eff ort must be shared by many in order to grow.” Mr. McGraw spoke from years of experience as an educator, a World War II veteran, beloved CEO of McGraw-Hill, service on non-profi t boards including the New York Public Library, staunch advocate for literacy that led to a Presidential Award in 1990, and as a father, husband, and member of Noroton Presbyterian Church in Darien, Connecticut. His talents with a paintbrush also were not to be dismissed. “A man for all seasons,” Mr. McGraw helped to found CMI with his generosity and his wisdom of the workings of organizations. His advice continued to guide CMI until his death. He included his daughter, Suzanne, also an educator, in his conversations. Not one to talk about his faith, he would often say he did not know much about music either, but then at an unexpected moment break out into a stanza of “Onward, Christian Soldiers,” his favorite hymn. Mr. McGraw was a man of his word, honest to the core, true to his commitments, one who fulfi lled his duties as a good soldier. He stood by the Church Music Institute from its inception until his death. Th e gospel hymn, “Stand by Me” was sung at Mr. McGraw’s memorial service in April by Michael Booker, soloist and member of the Noroton Presbyterian church. Th is new arrangement, which Hal H. Hopson has arranged for the choir to premiere tonight, is dedicated to Mr. McGraw’s memory and in thanks for his exemplary life and gifts that began the Church Music Institute. Published in 2010 by MorningStar Publishers, it now will be shared by many, an ongoing testimony to and example of the faithfulness of the life of Harold W. McGraw, Jr.

Walk Softly

Shaker anthem Bob Chilcott

When we assemble here to worship God, to sing His praises and to hear His word, we walk softly. With purity of heart; and with clean hands, our souls are free; we’re free from Satan’s bands, we will walk softly. While we are passing thro’ the sacred door, into the fold where Christ has gone before, we will walk softly. We’ll worship and bow down, we will rejoice and when we hear the Shepherd’s gentle voice, we will walk softly.

Psalm 46

New Revised Standard Version of the Bible Paul Lindsley Th omas

Alleluia! God is our hope and strength, a very present help in trouble. Th erefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea; though its waters rage and foam, and though the mountains tremble at its tumult. Th e Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Th ere is a river, the streams whereof make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be overthrown. God shall help her at the break of day. Th e nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken. God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away. Th e Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Come now and look upon the works of the Lord, what awesome things he has done on earth. It is He who makes wars to cease in all the world; who breaks the bow and shatters the spear and burns the shields with fi re. “Be still, then, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth.” Th e Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Alleluia!

Hymn to the Trinity

Christopher Wordsworth, 1862 Paul Lindsley Th omas

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts, eternal King, by the heavens adored; angels and archangels sing, chanting everlastingly, to the blessed Trinity. Since by Th ee were all things made, and in Th ee do all things live, be to Th ee all honor paid, praise to Th ee let all things give, singing everlastingly to the blessed Trinity. Th ousands, tens of thousands stand, spirits blest before Th y throne, speeding thence at Th y command, and when Th y command is done, singing everlastingly to the blessed Trinity. Cherubim and seraphim veil their faces with their wings; eyes of angels are too dim to behold the King of Kings. Singing everlastingly to the blessed Trinity. Alleluia Lord to Th ee, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Th ree in one and One in Th ree join we with the heavenly host singing everlastingly to the blessed Trinity. Amen.

Calm on the Listening Ear of Night

Edward Hamilton Sears, 1834 Paul Lindsley Th omas Paula Price, Flute Dr. Ann Knipschild, Oboe

Calm on the listening ear of night, come heaven’s melodious strains, where wild Judea stretches far her silver mantled plains. Celestial choirs from courts above shed sacred glories there; and angels, with their sparkling lyres, make music on the air. Th e answering hills of Palestine send back the glad reply, and greet from all their holy heights, the Dayspring from on high. O’er the blue depths of Gallilee there comes a holier calm, and Sharon waves, in solemn praise, her silent groves of palm. “Glory to God!” the sounding skies loud with their anthems ring, “Peace to the earth, good will to men, from heaven’s eternal King!” Light on thy hills, Jerusalem! Th e Saviour now is born. More bright on Bethlehem’s joyous plains, breaks the fi rst Christ-mas morn.

Shout the Glad Tidings

William Augustus Muhlenberg, 1826 Paul Lindsley Th omas

Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing, Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is king! Sion the marvelous story be telling, the Son of the Highest, how lowly his birth; the brightest archangel in glory excelling, He stoops to redeem thee, He reigns upon earth. Tell how He cometh from nation to nation, the heart-cheering news let the earth echo ‘round: how free to the faithful He off ers salvation, His people with joy everlasting are crowned. Mortals your homage be gratefully bringing, and sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise, ye angels the full alleluia be singing, one chorus resound through the earth and the skies. Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing, Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is king!

God, Source of Strength and Hope

Stand by Me

Charles Albert Tindley, 1905 Charles Albert Tindley, Arr. Hal H. Hopson Pamela King, Mezzo-Soprano Dr. Charlotte Kroeker, Piano

In celebration of the life of Harold W. McGraw, Jr., 1918-2010,and in gratitude for his gift that began the Church Music Institute

When the storms of life are raging, stand by me; when the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea, Th ou who rulest wind and water, stand by me. In the midst of tribulation, stand by me; when the hosts of hell assail, and my strength begins to fail, Th ou who never lost a battle, stand by me. In the midst of faults and failures, stand by me; when I do the best I can, and my friends misunderstand, Th ou who knowest all about me, stand by me. In the midst of persecution, stand by me; Lord, stand by me; when my foes in war array undertake to stop my way, Th ou who saved Paul and Silas stand by me. When I’m growing old and feeble, stand by me; when my life becomes a burden, and I’m nearing chilly Jordan, O Th ou “Lily of the Valley,” stand by me.

Shall We Gather At the River

Robert Lowry, 1864 HANSON PLACE, Robert Lowry Arr. Donald Busarow Paula Price, Flute

Shall we gather at the river, where bright angel feet have trod, with its crystal tide forever fl owing by the throne of God? Yes, we’ll gather at the river, the beautiful, the beautiful river; gather with the saints at the river that fl ows by the throne of God. On the bosom of the river, where the Savior King we own, we shall meet, and sorrow never, ‘neath the glory of the throne. Ere we reach the shining river, lay we every burden down; grace our spirits will deliver, and provide a robe and a crown. Soon we’ll reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease; soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace.

Soon Ah Will Be Done Spiritual, arr. William L. Dawson

Soon ah will be don’ a-wid de troubles ob de worl’, troubles ob de worl’, de troubles of de worl’. Soon ah will be don’ a-wid de troubles ob de worl’, goin’ home t’ live wid God. I wan’ t’ meet my mother, goin’ t’ live wid God. No more weepin’ an’ a wailin’, I’m goin’ t’ live wid God. I wan’ t’ meet my Jesus, I’m goin’ t’ live wid God.

God’s Fulfi llment in Jesus Christ

Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy

Joseph Hart (stanzas), 1759; Anonymous (refrain) RESTORATION William Walker’s Southern Harmony, 1835 Arr. Tim Sharp

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, full of pity, love, and power. I will arise and go to Jesus, He will embrace me in His arms; in the arms of my dear Savior, O, there are ten thousand charms. Let not conscience make you linger, nor of fi tness fondly dream; all the fi tness He requireth is to feel your need of Him. Come, ye weary, heavy laden, lost and ruined by the fall; if you tarry till you’re better, you will never come at all. Saints and angels, joined in concert, sing the praises of the Lamb; while the blissful seats of heaven sweetly echo with His name: Hallelujah! Hallelu-jah! Sinners here may do the same. I will go to Jesus!

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Isaac Watts, 1707 HAMBURG, Arr. Gilbert M. Martin

When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifi ce them to his blood. See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love fl ow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; love, so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all! Amen!

DR. PAUL LINDSLEY THOMAS

Excellent Musician and Composer

Nurturer of Spiritual and Musical Growth of Children and Adults

Innovative Contributor to the Worship Life of the Church

“SERVANT, WELL DONE”

Canon Dr. Paul Lindsley Th omas

Th e Church Music Institute honors the life and work of Dr. Paul Lindsley Th omas, a man who models the goals of the Church Music Institute. His formative years in home and church nurtured a musical and spiri-tual development that led to an extensive education in music. His commitment to the church shaped his ministry of music to children, youth, and adults, and the musical program he created meaningfully infl u-enced the lives of musicians and parishioners. Special musical events in his church often used compositions from the past that off ered new insights to contemporary Christians, and his own compositions have served the liturgy of many parishes beyond his own. Dr. Th omas’ ministry to children and youth developed new generations of Christians, and the compositions he leaves for us provide a permanent legacy for Christians of all denominations.

Dr. Paul Lindsley Th omas is a native of New York City where he began musical studies at age four with his mother, Virginia Carrington Th omas, a noted organist and student of Charles Marie Widor and Lynwood Farnam. A boy chorister in the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, Dr. Th omas played his fi rst organ recital there at the age of 14 under the guidance of his teacher, Dr. Norman Coke-Jephcott. Two under-graduate degrees were earned, at Trinity College, Hartford, and Yale University. His master’s degree was in organ from Yale, and the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in organ performance was earned at University of North Texas. Dr. Th omas’ organ and composition study was with some of the most prominent teachers on the American and European scene in the fi rst half of the twentieth century, including the legendary Nadia Boulanger at the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau, France.

In 1960, Dr. Th omas was appointed Director of Music and Organist at St. Michael and All Angels Episco-pal Church in Dallas where he remained for 37 years. During his tenure, the adult choir grew to more than 60 volunteer singers who, in addition to providing music for services, sang oratorio and large choral works. Th is choir performed with professional orchestras and traveled in America and Europe on performance tours. Dr. Th omas was committed to working with children, providing choirs from the age of four through high school. Th e Boy’s choir sang with the Dallas Symphony and appeared in one movie. St. Michael’s became recognized in the Southwest for such innovations as liturgical drama and dance, and Benjamin Britten’s “Noye’s Fludde” was performed every four years with more than a hundred children in costumes. Dr. Th omas was appointed Canon of Church Music in the Episcopal Church in 1980 in recognition of his service.

A member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), Dr. Th omas has published anthems and organ compositions with major music publishing houses. Th ese include Oxford University Press, H. W. Gray, MorningStar, and Concordia. He has been active in the American Guild of Organists, serving as Dean as well as being a member of the AGO National Council.

After retiring from St. Michael’s in 1997, Dr. Th omas served Trinity Episcopal Church, Dallas, as Director of Music and Organist for eleven years. In December 2008, Dr. Th omas was appointed Director of Music and Organist at Th e Chapel of the Cross, Episcopal, Dallas.

ABOUT THE CHURCH MUSIC INSTITUTE

Mission:

Th e Church Music Institute is dedicated to the practice, advancement and stewardship of the best of liturgical and sacred music for worshipping Christian congregations. Th e Institute off ers educational courses, workshops, on-site and online resources, fosters conversation among musicians, pastors and laypersons, and sponsors research in the fi eld of church music.

Vision:

Th e Institute acknowledges music as one of God’s greatest gifts, deserving of our best understanding and care. Th e work of the Institute is thus based on the following assumptions:

Th at music in worship should be chosen for its capacity to approach holiness, beauty and • transcendence in the worship of God.

Th at music in worship is a vehicle for prayer and praise, serving the gathered community of • all ages and backgrounds.

Th at leaders of music in worship must fi rst be equipped with the fi nest skills as musicians, • and further with the theological and musical skills to enable congregational song as prayer and praise.

Th at leaders of music in worship must have available resources that refl ect the best of litera-• ture and practices available from current and past contributions to the music in Christian worship.

Th at pastors/priests and musicians must be equipped to work together so that they can com-• bine word and music to the glory of God and as a vehicle for the worship of the congregation.

Why is the Institute important?

Th e Institute is the one venue in the United States for pastors/priests and musicians to • address the music of worship in an ecumenical, non-commercial setting.

Th e Institute provides workshops, conferences, a library/resource center and online resources • where musicians can browse for music and plan music for worship.

16

Who is behind the Institute?

Th e Church Music Institute began in December 2006, with a group of musicians, clergy, and • laypersons interested in strengthening the music of Christian worship. Th ree Presbyterians gave initial funding to begin the work and have been joined by many others from a variety of denominations to continue its work. Th e Institute is now serving a broad range of Christian denominations. CMI is incorporated in the State of Texas and has IRS 501(c)(3) non-profi t status.

A board of directors guides CMI. Members are Kim Warner, Chair (V.P., Texas Presbyterian • Foundation), Enika Schulze, Vice-President (publisher), Diana Warner, Recording Secretary (Texas Presbyterian Foundation), Mary Ruth Caldwell (church musician), Ruth Ann Ernst (lay musician and business owner), Jim Finley (lay musician and organizational development consultant), Dr. Michael Hawn (Professor, Perkins/SMU), Hal Hopson (composer/church musician), Martha Hopson (church musician), Jeanne Johnson (civic leader), Dr. Robert Mann (professor – organ/church music), George Morey (lay musician and retired corporate fi nancial executive), Nesha Morey (music educator), Terry Price (church musician). A group of nationally prominent advisory board members assist the organization from their areas of expertise.

Executive Director is Dr. Charlotte Kroeker who came to Dallas from the University of • Notre Dame where she held a faculty research position in church music. She is the editor of Music in Christian Worship, Liturgical Press, 2005, and author of forthcoming in 2011, Th e Sounds We Off er: Achieving Excellence in Church Music, Alban Institute.

Where is the Institute housed?

Th e Institute is located in offi ces in North Dallas at 7557 Rambler Road, off Walnut Hill between Central Expressway and Greenville.
