ORDER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE KING
The Trinity Chapter of the Order of the Daughters of the King would like to welcome any women in the parish who would like to find out more about the Daughters of the King. We meet the second Thursday of each month in the Conference Room at 1:00PM. If you would like to learn more about the Daughters of the King, please join us for this time of sharing, prayers and caring. Our meetings are very relaxed and friendly.
The Daughters of the King was organized in 1885. The mission of the Order of the Daughtes of the King is the extension of Christ's Kingdom through Prayer, Service and Evangelism. Daughters pledge themselves to a lifelong program of this mission by the reaffirmation of our confirmation vows and the dedication to the spread of Christ's Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her parish. We wear Crosses as an outward and visible sign that we cannot live a day without Christ in our lives.
An instruction or preparation class will be offered for new members and will meet at 2:00PM on Monday beginning January 10, 2011. We will meet once a week and follow the study program from the National Office for potential members. Our current members will be the leaders or facilitators at these classes which are very informal but required for a member to be installed to the Order.
Please contact the church office if you would like to attend these sessions so we may know how many Study Guides to prepare.
We are looking forward to a most blessed year ahead in our ministry as Daughters at Trinity.
For His Sake,
Stacy Clawson
NOTES ON THE NOTES:
La Nef Sacrée ("The Nave"), Opus 171, of Cecile Chaminade (1857-1944)
This week's prelude and postlude come from the 1928 collection entitled La Nef Sacrée ("The Nave") by Cecile Chaminade. A native of Paris, Chaminade composed and published nearly 400 compositions during her lifetime, a prolific output, even more remarkable given that Chaminade was a woman composer at a time when that field was entirely dominated by men. Chaminade's piano works for the home parlor became very popular in the United States around the turn of the 20th century, and numerous Chaminade Clubs focusing on music in the home sprang up around the country. Chaminade made a financially successful tour of New England in Autumn 1908; however the reception of her music among critics was not so successful. Many of her smaller works were called "sweet" and "charming," meaning that they were not on-par with many male composers of the time. On the other hand, her larger works (which were on-par) were thought to be too masculine and not befitting her gender. By the time they became popular in the United States, Chaminade's works were largely forgotten in her native France, supplanted by those of the French modernists Fauré, Debussy, and Ravel. Cecile Chaminade, herself feeling obsolete, died in Monte Carlo in April 1944, less than two months before the U.S. invasion of Normandy during World War II. As you gaze at the nave, enjoy the captivating music of Cecile Chaminade.
