Go forth upon thy journey from this world, beloved soul: in the name of God the Father who created thee; in the name of Jesus Christ his only Son who hath redeemed thee; in the name of the Holy Spirit who gave thee life and giveth thee life still. Accompanied by angels and archangels and by all the company of heaven, may thy portion this day be in peace, and thy dwelling place the heavenly Jerusalem.
It is a privilege for us to conduct here the Funeral and/or the Thanksgiving Service for a member of one of the Inns or a member of our congregation.
If you would like our help, please get in touch with Catherine de Satgé here, 020 7353 8559, catherine@templechurch.com. We realise that you will need to arrange the funeral, in particular, at short notice and at a most unsettled time.
You will probably be visiting this part of the site if you have yourself been recently bereaved; we are here to help, and hope that we can offer here the Farewell and Tribute that you are hoping for, for one you love. We will have you in our prayers and thoughts as we prepare the service with you.
We hope that this small package may help you to prepare the most fitting and uplifting service for your loved one. You may have questions concerning matters that are not addressed in the next few pages. We are always pleased to answer questions if we can.

A Venetian Coronation 1595 - Gabrieli Consort and Players
Gabrieli return to the programme that put them on the musical map when they recorded and released it in 1990: A Venetian Coronation 1595 is a musical recreation evoking the grand pageantry of the Coronation Mass for Venetian Doge Marino Grimani. His love of ceremony and state festivals fuelled an extraordinary musical bounty during his reign and formed the background to the musical riches of the period, especially to the works of Giovanni Gabrieli. With cornetts, sackbuts and an all-male consort, Paul McCreesh exploits the dazzling polyphony of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli’s music. The theatrical and ceremonious performance is sure to captivate our audience. The running time of this concert is approximately 85 minutes, no interval. The performance should end at approximately 9pm. |
