Today for Comfort at One, we are thrilled to present Sandbox Percussion in their WORLD PREMIERE virtual performance of “Pillar V” from Andy Akiho’s Seven Pillars. This epic video was conceived, directed, and produced by David Michalek, with movement direction by Francesca Harper and additional choreography by Reggie ‘Regg Roc’ Gray.
This week's Comfort at One takeover presents a special inside look at the world premiere of Sandbox Percussion’s video performance of Andy Akiho’s Seven Pillars, ahead of their album release next Friday, September 24.
Set in the tranquility of Trinity Church, this reflective night service includes anthems and improvisations sung by The Choir of Trinity Wall Street. There’s nothing to do but listen, breathe, and be. At the start of this Compline by Candlelight service the 48-hour vigil at St. Paul’s Chapel will conclude, as the vigil candle is returned to Trinity Church via a procession on Broadway beginning at 7:45pm.
Anthems include:
Glenn L. Rudolph/Thomas Troeger – The Dream Isaiah Saw
Sarah McLachlan – Prayer of St. Francis
Allan Naplan – Al Shlosha D’Varim
Gerre Hancock – Deep River
Ethan McGrath – Malala’s Dream
J. S. Bach – Dona nobis pacem from Mass in B minor

The Rev. Phillip A. Jackson, Priest-in-charge of Trinity Church Wall Street, will ring the Bell of Hope in St. Paul’s Churchyard in a pattern of “four fives” (five strikes, repeated four times), the traditional firefighters’ salute to the fallen. Following prayers, the bell will be rung precisely at 8:46am, the time when the first plane crashed into 1 World Trade Center (North Tower). The bell, a gift from London to New York City a year after the attacks, is rung on September 11 anniversaries and to remember victims of terrorism and mass shootings. Join us for this brief and memorable service by tuning in here on our website or on Facebook Live during the event. Masks and social distancing will be required and capacity limits observed.
At this candle-lit service, a series of readings and psalms are recited and chanted, followed by meditative musical responses led by The Choir of Trinity Wall Street and NOVUS NY with Julian Wachner, conductor. Psalms will include works by Caroline Shaw, David Hurd, Marjorie Merryman, Bobby McFerrin, Julian Wachner, and others. Following the service, a procession will walk to St. Paul’s Chapel, where a 48-hour vigil will begin.
