“The love of our private friends

is the only preparatory exercise

for the love of all men.”

— John Henry Newman

The Newman Centre in Ireland is a Catholic chaplaincy and student center located at University College Dublin. The center is named after Blessed John Henry Newman, a prominent 19th-century Catholic theologian and cardinal who was recently canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church. Its spaces are open to Catholic students and staff at the university, as well as for the wider community. These include daily Mass, confession, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Bible study groups, social events, and retreats. The center also hosts talks and lectures on topics related to Catholicism and the Catholic intellectual tradition, and supports student-led initiatives and outreach programs.

The Newman Center is part of a global network of Newman Centers and Catholic campus ministries that aim to provide spiritual and intellectual support for Catholic students in higher education. The centers are typically named after John Henry Newman, who wrote extensively on the role of education in developing the whole person and fostering a deeper understanding of faith and reason.

This is a choral composition that falls within the genre of modern classical music. Ola Gjeilo is a Norwegian composer and pianist known for his engaging and atmospheric choral works; here inspired by the Aurora Borealis.

The text is the Latin Pulchra es, amica mea, from Song of Solomon:

Thou art beautiful, O my love,
sweet and comely as Jerusalem,
terrible as an army set in array.
Turn away thy eyes from me,
for they have made me flee away.

“Come, Ye Thankful People”

University Interscholastic League

“Come, Ye Thankful People, Come” is a traditional Christian hymn often associated with harvest festivals and Thanksgiving celebrations. The hymn was written by Henry Alford in 1844, an Anglican cleric and theologian. Alford, who later became the Dean of Canterbury, composed the hymn to reflect the agricultural rhythms and the cycle of planting and harvesting that were integral to rural life in 19th-century England.

The hymn’s lyrics express gratitude for the bountiful harvest and serve as a metaphor for spiritual growth and the final gathering of souls in the Christian eschatological vision. The first verse invites thankful people to come together to praise God for the harvest. Subsequent verses extend the metaphor, comparing the harvest to the final judgment, when believers are gathered to be with God.

The music most commonly associated with “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come” was composed by George J. Elvey in 1858, and the tune is named “St. George’s Windsor.” The hymn’s enduring popularity stems from its dual themes of thanksgiving and eschatological hope, making it suitable for both seasonal celebrations and reflective worship services. Its singable melody and rich imagery continue to resonate with congregations, embodying a sense of communal gratitude and spiritual anticipation.

Celebrating the 150th Birthday of Gustav Holst

The Music of Gustav Holst

A British composer best known for The Planets suite Gustav Holst has had a profound impact on the Anglosphere by bridging classical music with broader cultural narratives and modernity. The Planets, with its bold orchestration and thematic explorations of astrological symbolism, has resonated deeply across English-speaking countries, shaping the orchestral landscape and inspiring generations of composers, particularly in film.

Holst’s music marries English folk influences with European classical traditions, embodying a distinctly English voice that celebrates both innovation and heritage. His works emphasize emotion and mysticism, reflecting a British identity while connecting to universal themes.

In the Anglosphere, Holst’s contributions have expanded the appreciation of orchestral music, influencing composers from Benjamin Britten to John Williams, whose iconic film scores owe much to Holst’s pioneering style. Holst’s legacy endures as a touchstone of British musical identity, evoking wonder, tradition, and a cosmic scope that resonates globally.
