Claude Goudimel

1514 - 1572 Person Name: Claude Goudimel,ca. 1505-1572 Topics: Year B, Ordinary Time after Pentecost, July 31-August 6 Harmonizer of "GENEVAN 51" in Psalms for All Seasons The music of Claude Goudimel (b. Besançon, France, c. 1505; d. Lyons, France, 1572) was first published in Paris, and by 1551 he was composing harmonizations for some Genevan psalm tunes-initially for use by both Roman Catholics and Protestants. He became a Calvinist in 1557 while living in the Huguenot community in Metz. When the complete Genevan Psalter with its unison melodies was published in 1562, Goudimel began to compose various polyphonic settings of all the Genevan tunes. He actually composed three complete harmonizations of the Genevan Psalter, usually with the tune in the tenor part: simple hymn-style settings (1564), slightly more complicated harmonizations (1565), and quite elaborate, motet-like settings (1565-1566). The various Goudimel settings became popular throughout Calvinist Europe, both for domestic singing and later for use as organ harmonizations in church. Goudimel was one of the victims of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of Huguenots, which occurred throughout France. Bert Polman

Author of The Principles of English Church Music Composition (1921), Shaw was a notable reformer of English church music. He worked with Percy Dearmer (his rector at St. Mary's in Primrose Hill); Ralph Vaughan Williams, and his brother Geoffrey Shaw in publishing hymnals such as Songs of Praise (1925, 1931) and the Oxford Book of Carols (1928). A leader in the revival of English opera and folk music scholarship, Shaw composed some one hundred songs as well as anthems and service music; some of his best hymn tunes were published in his Additional Tunes in Use at St. Mary's (1915).

1833 - 1899 Person Name: W. T. Matson (1833-1899) Topics: Pentecost 6 Made New in Christ Author of "Lord, I was blind; I could not see" in Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Matson, William Tidd, was born at West Hackney, London, Oct. 17, 1833. He was educated first under the Rev. J. M. Gould, and then at St. John's College, Cambridge. Subsequently he studied under Professor Nesbitt, at the Agricultural and Chemical College, Kennington. In 1853 he underwent a great spiritual change. Leaving the Church of England, he first joined the Methodist New Connexion body, and then the Congregationalists. After the usual theological training, he entered the ministry, and held several pastorates, including Havant, Hants; Gosport; Highbury; Portsmouth, and others. His poetical works include:— (1) A Summer Evening Reverie, and Other Poems, 1857; (2) Poems, 1858; (3) Pleasures of the Sanctuary, 1865; (4) The Inner Life, 1866; (5) Sacred Lyrics, 1870; (6) Three Supplemental Hymns, &c, 1872; (7) The World Redeemed, 1881, &c. Several of Matson's hymns have been given in Allon's Supplemental Hymns; Horder's Congregational Hymns; The Baptist Hymnal; Dale's English Hymn Book.; Barrett's Congregational Church Hymnal, 1887, and others. The best known are:— 1. Father, of all, Whose wondrous power. Prayer to the Holy Trinity. 2. Glory, glory to God in the highest. Christmas. 3. God is in His temple. Divine Worship. 4. I'm but a little child. A Child's Prayer. 5. In whom shall I find comfort? God, the Source of Comfort. 6. Lord, I was blind, I could not see. Christ, the Life of Men. 7. O blessed Life, the heart at rest. Christ the Life of Men. 8. Teach me, O Lord, Thy holy way. Divine Guidance desired. Mr Matson's hymns show a considerable mastery of the forms of hymnic expression, but are somewhat lacking in lyric energy. Those written for use with German chorales are excellent efforts, and rank with his best work. Taken as a whole his hymns are far above the average, and deserve wide acknowledgment. [Rev. W. Garrett Horder] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================ Matson, W. T, p. 719, ii. His "Glory to God in the highest, Shall be our song to-day" (Christmas) is in the Scottish Hymnal, 1884. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) ================= Matson, W. T. , p. 719, ii. He died in 1899. The hymn, "Glory to God in the highest, shall be our song to-day," p. 1591, i., is given to Mr. Matson in error. It is found in W. B. Bradbury's Golden Censer, 1864, p. 116, without authorship, and again in P. Phillips's Singing Pilgrim, 1866, p. 79, as by Mrs. E. H. Gates. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
