17 Dec 13 - 05:00 PM (#3585003) Subject: Advent song thread (Haruo, elsewhere) From: Haruo This Advent I have been posting a song text each day on my Facebook page, and also in a thread at BaptistLife.com. (I also suggest tunes, but generally don't actually give the music.) Now that we are in the last week before Christmas Eve, I have upped the frequency to three a day, namely one stanza of "O come, O come, Emmanuel" in Latin and English, following the progression of the Great "O" Antiphons; one Marian item (since the antiphons are intended for use with the Magnificat at Vespers), and one other song each day. Thus far, the list looks like this: IA1 Arise, the kingdom is at hand ELLACOMBE IA2 The advent of our God BETHLEHEM SHORT IA3 Rock of Ages, let our song MAOZ TSUR IA4 Hail to the Lord's Anointed! SHEFFIELD IA5 Watchman, tell us of the night WATCHMAN IA6 See! see in the East a new glory ascends SAMANTHRA IA7 Subid a los montes, alzad la canción ST. DENIO IB1 Quoth the Fir-tree, orange and vine MIRTH (Clark) IB2 How splendid shines the morning star MORNING STAR (Southern Harmony) IB3 God from on high hath heard ST. DENYS (Spinney) IB4 Śliczna Panienka (Carol of the Hay) ŚLICZNA PANIENKA IB5a Light the light, the fire of life IL EST NÉ IB5b Light one candle to watch for Messiah TIF IN VELDELE IB5c One Candle Is Lit CRADLE SONG IB6 The race that long in darkness pined SHILOH (Billings) IB7 The Prince of salvation is coming, Prepare THE BLOOMING WILDERNESS IC1 People, look east! The time is near BESANÇON IC2a Some say love, it is a river THE ROSE IC2b わが心 あまつ神を 尊み MARY'S SONG (MacNair) IC3a The First Great "O" Antiphon of Advent VENI EMMANUEL (stanza only) IC3b Mary, how lovely the light of your glory STAR IN THE EAST IC3c Hail the blest morn! See the great Mediator STAR IN THE EAST I invite those who like this sort of seasonal music to follow along, singing where appropriate. |

19 Dec 13 - 05:27 AM (#3585372) Subject: RE: Advent song thread (Haruo, elsewhere) From: Nigel Parsons I'll second leeneia's suggestion. The hymn is also known by the first word of its refrain "Maranatha" (Aramaic = "Our Lord comes") Interesting list. I'll investigate some of those for Advent next year. |

19 Dec 13 - 12:26 PM (#3585459) Subject: RE: Advent song thread (Haruo, elsewhere) From: Haruo The King Shall Come, or Maranatha, is certainly a good suggestion. In the US it is usually set, in recent hymnals anyhow, to MORNING SONG, and in older ones to ST. STEPHEN (Jones); what tune do you know it to? And BTW is there a St. Stephen's Day (i.e. Boxing Day) text that is sung to the latter tune? |
