dAbout the Musicians

Na Skylark is a Kentucky based band, performing Irish music on Ireland’s national instruments, the Irish harp and flute, tin whistle, and Uilleann pipes. And staying true to their Kentucky roots, the mountain dulcimer is also a mainstay in arrangements.

Lorinda Jones and Cathy Wilde are the foundation of Na Skylark and are “relaxed and charming as they share the heritage of Irish music.” Their audiences enjoy the passion and knowledge about their instruments, as well as the history of the songs and composers of both instrumental airs, dance tunes and traditional songs.

Lorinda and Cathy have been performing music together for many years in a variety of settings from informal Irish jam sessions to weddings, community theater and house concert series, traditional music festivals and special events for children and adults in schools and church. Lorinda, performing on Celtic Harp and Mountain Dulcimer, has earned degrees in both music education and music therapy. As a member of the Kentucky Center’s Arts in Healing program, she brings her music to places of healing and as a board certified music therapist, provides services for older adults with Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as programs for adults and children with developmental disabilities. While teaching and performing at festivals and camps, Lorinda travels across the United States sharing her love for traditional American

and Celtic music. She is the artistic director of the Heartland Dulcimer Club and Heartland Harps Ensemble.

Cathy began her music journey on the classical flute. During her first visit to Ireland, she bought a tin whistle. So began a lifelong obsession with the music of Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Galicia. Later, Cathy took up the wooden simple-system flute, now known as “Irish flute,” and in learning that discovered her true instrument of passion, the Irish Uilleann (“elbow” or “union” in Irish) bagpipes. Cathy is well-known in the Louisville area as the “jam master” at Irish sessions, as well as a member of Louisville’s distinguished “greengrass” band, Cloigheann. Lorinda and Cathy are occasionally joined by fiddler, Larry Green. Larry’s experience playing and teaching Irish fiddle at home and abroad, as well as accompanying Irish step and ceili dancers, contributes to a trio with a perfect blend of authentic Irish music, played much the way you’d expect to find it in the most out-of-the-way shebeen.

Magnificat John L Bell

For out of Zion shall go forth instruction, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples, and shall arbitrate between strong nations far away;they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks;nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more; but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees, and no one shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken. For all the peoples walk, each in the name of its god,but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

Second Lesson Matthew 5:43-48

‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the

unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; * for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: * the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him * in every generation. refrainHe has shown the strength of his arm, * he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, * and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, * and the rich he has sent away empty.. refrainHe has come to the help of his servant Israel, * for he has remembered his promise of mercy, The promise he made to our fathers, * to Abraham and his children for ever. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: * as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. . refrain

Music at the CathedralEstablished in 1822, Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest house of worship in Louisville. The Cathedral has and continues to uphold the highest standard for music and worship. While the great traditions of the church are at risk of being lost in our culture, the Cathedral desires to maintain our heritage of Anglican music and historical liturgies while always looking forward and being relevant in our world today. With this in mind, our worship reflects the contemplative nature of evening worship through Evensong to the joyous celebrations of the nativity and resurrection.

The Cathedral Choiris the resident choral ensemble at the Cathedral, singing all principal services. The choir also sings services for the Diocese of Kentucky, monthly Evensongs, and the annual Service of Lessons and Carols. A mixed choir of adults, the choir sings music from all eras, while focusing approximately fifty percent of their repertoire to music by American composers. The Cathedral Choir and Canon Bozeman have been featured on both local and national public radio programs numerous times. Recordings available by the Cathedral Choir include An American Evening: Music by American Composers and Lux Aeterna-Music spanning a thousand years with the common theme of light. You may purchase copies following evensong in the narthex or through the Cathedral website.

Join us for Eucharist each Sunday at 10:30 AM and visit the Cathedral’s website for additional service information.
