Celtic Mass For The Sea
Gloria
Glory be to Thee, O God of life,
Maker of wond’rous works,
Great bright heaven with its angels,
The white-waved sea on earth.
The text for The “Celtic Mass For The Sea” was derived from ancient oral incantations, rituals and prayers; such as those found in collections like the “Carmina Gadelica” Vol. 1-5; collected, compiled, and metrically translated from Gaelic to English by Alexander Carmicheal. Traditional melodic themes heard in the “Mass” were found in three primary sources; Songs of the Hebrides”, collected and arranged by Marjorie Kennedy Fraser; “From the Farthest Hebrides” and “Beyond the Hebrides”, collected and edited by Donald A. Fergusson
