All Saints' Hosts WillanWest 2018
The next monthly celebration of the music of Healey Willan. will be a on Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29 at 7:00pm sung by the Willan Collective directed by Ruben Valenzuela.
On Saturday, April 28th Willan West continues its 2018 festival by celebrating a Mass in honour of St. Mary featuring two of Willan's compositions. Missa Brevis no. 1 (E-flat Major) is the first of Willan's Missa Breves and was composed in 1928 for the Gallery Choir of St. Mary Magdalene. Missa Brevis no. 1 sets the compositional model and aesthetic for the remainder of his Missa Breves, which are all deeply rooted in a polyphonic style that is indebted to the Tudor composers.
Fair in Face (Liturgical Motet no. 4) is one of three motets in Honour of Our Lady. Each of these motets utilize texts from eighth-century Responsories of an Office of Our Lady, and from the Song of Solomon. Fair in Face is characterized by Willan's unmistakable harmonic language, and a sense of graceful flow and mysticism. The beautiful text, taken from the Office of Our Lady, serves as the perfect catalyst for Willan’s accessible yet profound musical language.
Evensong on Sunday, April 29 -- During Willan's tenure as Precentor (Organist & Choirmaster) of St Mary Magdalene's (Toronto) the parish routinely offered the Office of Evensong and Benediction. For Evensong, Willan composed a series of Evening Canticles (Fauxbourdons), and set to various chant modes. In keeping with the musical tradition of St Mary Magdalene's, the Willan West Ritual Choir will be singing the canticle plainsong antiphons and verses, with the Gallery Choir taking the fauxbourdon verses. As with the mass, Willan capitalized on the spatial effect of separating the plainsong from the fauxbourdon setting.
Willan West will begin this Evensong with the ravishing motet O Trinity, most blessed light (1925), followed by Willan's Fauxbourdon setting of the canticles, along with the plainsong verses and the appointed antiphons. Two motets will follow, beginning with the Marian motet Ave Maria by Robert Parsons (1535-1572) and concluding with Willan's brief motet O saving victim (no. 1 from Two Motets) sung at Benediction.

ALL SAINTS’ BELLS
BELLS and More BELLS
The Bell Tower Bells The software for providing a simulated ringing of Bell Tower bells has been re-installed. The neighborhood around the parish church is now hearing a typical quarter hour chiming, plus the tolling for the hour, and one verse of a hymn, or a pealing. Eventually, we will program our own selection of hymn or chant tunes, and set it for half hour chiming, and have it sound from 8am to 8pm (that should keep insomniac neighbors happier). Thanks to (Senior Warden) George Dreyer for getting it back up and working.

All Saints' to Host
Willan West 2018
WillanWest 2018 is a Southern California celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the death of English-Canadian composer Healey Willan who served as organist and choirmaster at the Anglo-Catholic parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Toronto from 1921-1966. All Saints’ was chosen to host this celebration as it is the only Episcopal parish in San Diego that has the potential to duplicate the environment of St. Mary Magdalene due to its traditional architecture and liturgy.
WillanWest choir under the direction of Ruben Valenzuela will hold 14 Saturday events at All Saints’ – Mass, Evensong and Benediction at 7:00pm from January 2018 through November 2018. For additional information about Healey Willan and the Healey Willan project visit willanwest.org.

Sunday Morning Childcare
We are excited to announce that our nursery is now being staffed through Panda's Domestic Referral Agency, which provides childcare for many churches in San Diego. All sitters are childcare professionals that have undergone a national background check and are Infant and Child CPR Certified.
Want to be an Acolyte?
We have a pressing need for additional Acolytes in order to continue our worship in the manner to which we have all grown accustom. This is particularly true for the 10:30 Mass. If you are seeking an opportunity to serve and think that you might be interested in serving at the Altar, come by the Acolyte room before or after the service to learn what we do.
