March 1 is the Feast Day
for St David Come celebrate with us this Sunday
February 28 at the 1115 am service the
Feast Day of our Patron Saint of Wales
David We will have special music
daffodils and more so please try to join
us
D avid is the patron saint of Wales whose feast day is the 1st of March (it is generally
accepted that March 1 is the day he died) and this day was declared a national day of celebration within Wales in the 18th century Every year parades are held in Wales to commemorate St David who lived circa 500-589
We will have special Welsh music planned for our St David Namesake Feast Day on February 28th The organ voluntaries anthems hymns and service music (Sanctus Agnus Dei) are all composed by a Welsh composer William Mathias Mr Mathiass work both instrumental and vocal covered a wide range of expressions but he was known principally for his church music A number of his creations were composed expressly for royal occasions and Queen Elizabeth II made him a Commander of the British Empire in 1985 His career reached a high point -- and a worldwide audience -- in 1981 when he received a royal commission for a brief work to be performed in St Pauls Cathedral for the wedding of Prince Charles and
Lady Diana His anthem Let the People Praise Thee O God is a setting of Psalm 67 for chorus and organ Dr Mathias was a professor and then head of the music department at University College of North Wales from 1970 to 1988 He also appeared frequently in concert as a pianist and conductor for his own and other peoples works He was the artistic director of the North Wales Music Festival held yearly at St Asaph He died at age 57 in 1992 at his summer home on the offshore island of Anglesey in the Irish Sea
Many Welsh people wear one or both of the national emblems of Wales on their lapel to celebrate St David the daffodil (a generic Welsh symbol which is in season during March) or the leek (Saint Davids personal
symbol) on this day Thats why you see the symbol of the daffodil around our church Our clergy and choirs will carry daffodils in procession as they sing a well-known Welsh hymn tune CWM RHONDDA God of Grace and God of Glory
