Thread Name: Origins: Breastplate of St. Patrick
Subject: RE: Help: Breastplate of Patrick
Alison did you ever come up with a MIDI for the "clonmacnoise" tune you mentioned? Does it differ a great deal from the tunes Anglicans use (i.e. "St. Patrick's Breastplate" that plays on the Cyber Hymnal, plus "Deirdre" for the "Christ be this way, Christ be that way" part? Could you email it to me? BrĂ­an, I have a page devoted to Bunessan texts in my online Esperanto hymnal; mostly Esperanto, but also links to one Scottish Gaelic and a couple English... and there is a German hymn "Herrlicher Morgen" by one W. Hermann (I have an Esperanto translation of it in my hymnal), but I haven't seen the German text and am not sure if it should be considered "a translation of", "based on", "inspired by" or "independent of" Farjeon's "Morning has broken" (or, of course, there's always the slim chance that she based "Morning has broken" on the German...)
