Celtic Mass for the Sea

Home 9 Composers 9 Scott Macmillan 9 FIRST READING – CELTIC MASS FOR THE SEA

featuring the Halifax Camerata – director Jeff Joudrey

Celtic Mass For The Sea
First Reading:

“I”, spoke the sea; the whale haunted sea, the dwelling of seals, the home of creatures: “From the beginning of creation I am without age, without corruption of the earth, I expect no loss from decay for original sin has not touched me”

 

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
