A minor canon of Norwich Cathedral, Carlton belonged also to the older generation of madrigal composers, particularly fond of the 'Byrd' or English cadence of flat versus sharp leading-notes. Although he claims to have laboured 'somewhat to imitate the Italian style', he admitted in his preface, 'I cannot forget that I am an English man.'

The Cherubic Hymn is the primary cherubikon, or song of the angels, sung during every Divine Liturgy of the year except those of Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday. It occurs after the Gospel reading and is interrupted by the Great Entrance. During the period of the fourth to sixth centuries, the shape of the Eastern Divine Liturgy reached its fi nal form under the gidance of liturgists such as St. John Chrysostom. In this same period the major formative changes occurred, most of which resulted in liturgical components that corresponded to the Church's developing theological understanding. Among them were the hymn Only-Begotten Son and the addition of the Nicean-Constantinopolitan Creed (countering heresies), and The Trisagion Hymn refl ecting the Trinitarian theology being currently defi ned. In this period and on through the ninth century, hymns were composed and added to the Divine Liturgy, such as the Cherubic Hymn, sung while the priest recited the prayer that is now called The Prayer of the Cherubic Hymn.

English, Spanish. Text Source: Adapt. from Rite of Dedication, tr. Jaime Cortez; Translation: Jaime Cortez.

It's true that most pastoral musicians never face the challenge of choosing music for the Rite of Dedication of a Church. For those who do, this can be a once-in-a-lifetime event! Specific music is required and the assembly must be educated and prepared for this blessed occasion. In David Kauffman's collection Bless This Church, the same melodic line graces each of the six different texts (each in English and in Spanish) used for the rites of dedication. The repetitive, wonderfully singable tune serves the assembly well, making it easy for the congregation to fully participate in this unique event. Use all six pieces or just one. Assembly reprint boxes in Spanish and in English are included in the music collection. Each and every parish dedicating a new space needs to consider this practical and inspired collection!
