Francis Chapelet - Francisco Correa de Arauxo - Himno Lauda Sion
Francis Chapelet en el concierto que nos ofreció el pasado 23 de julio de 2011 en el Órgano Histórico de Torre de Juan Abad "Gaspar de la Redonda". El que es sin duda la figura más relevante del órgano europeo, en los últimos 50 años, el más premiado y reconocido intérprete y maestro de este instrumento, y propulsor de la música de órgano en España, un año más en Torre de Juan Abad, en el Órgano Histórico del que él aceptó ser nombrado organista Honorario. Francis Chapelet es Organista honorario de San Severin, de Paris; de San Giovanni de Fiorentini, en Roma; y de nuestro Órgano Histórico de Torre de Juan Abad. Francis Chapelet, Curriculum: Natural de Pèrigord, en el sureste de Francia, realizó sus estudios musicales en el Conservatorio Superior de Música de París, cosechando los primeros premios de Armonía, Organo e improvisación. Desde 1964 hasta 1984, ha sido titular del Organo de San Severín de París, considerado entonces como el mejor órgano de París. Durante veinte años, ha sido profesor de Órgano e improvisación del Conservatorio Nacional de Burdeos.

En los años 60, ha sido uno de los primeros protagonistas del renacimiento del órgano histórico español, especialmente en Castilla-león, participando en la restauración de muchos órganos y grabando numerosos discos que dieron a conocer al mundo entero las riquezas de la música barroca española y la riqueza de los órganos históricos de la península. Ha cosechado más de cinco "Premio del Disco" con sus grabaciones. Ha sido el asesor artístico en la Restauración del Organo histórico de Lietor, así como en la construcción del Nuevo Organo del Exconvento. Es miembro de la Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, de Madrid Posee numerosas grabaciones, y como concertista internacional ha recorrido la mayor parte de Europa, y América Latina.

We worship you, O God the Father,
we offer you our praise,
for you nourish our bodies,
and minds with heavenly grace.

We adore you, O Jesus,
you, the only begotten Son,
you, who did not disdain
to submit to birth in the Virgin's womb.

Driven onto the cross, you were made
the victim of God's wrath.
Through you, our only Saviour,
hope of life returned to us.

To you, Eternal Spirit
by whose breath was born
by Mary the Infant God,
be our eternal blessings.

Triune God, of all humanity
the great author of salvation,
this immense mystery
our tongues all cheer and sing.
FAQ: Is there a website all about Oxford and May Morning?   Well, yes.   It's here: https://www.maymorning.co.uk/426021837

Let's linger in traditional mode:

Trad English
written down in 13th century
Sumer is icumen in
Leatherhead Choral Society
2020 while in lockdown

Sumer is icumen in,
Lhude sing cuccu!
Groweþ sed and bloweþ me'
And springþ þe wde nu,
Sing cuccu!
Awe bleteþ after lomb,
Lhouþ after calue cu.
Bulluc sterteþ, bucke uerteþ,
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu, wel singes þu, cuccu;
Ne swik þu nauer nu.


Summer has arrived,
Loudly sing, Cuckoo!
Seeds grow and meadows bloom
And the forest springs anew,
Sing, Cuckoo!-
The ewe bleats after the lamb,
The cow lows after the calf. ,
The bullock jumps, the stag cavorts,
Merrily sing, Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, well you sing, cuckoo;
Nor will you ever stop now.

From The School in Rose Valley,
Philadelphia

SRV students have been dancing the Maypole at the school's annual May Fair since 1929, and they've been dancing it more or less in its current form since the early 1970s, when Nancy Ewald re-choreographed the dance to Ralph Vaughan Williams's Seventeen Come Sunday, the first movement of his English Folk Song Suite.

SRV alumni often report still getting goosebumps or lumps in their throats watching the dance decades after they performed it themselves.

The Maypole Dance draws former students back to the May Fair year after year to remember their roots. It's a tradition binding generations of students in celebration of their community.

This video was recorded by Linda Goss in 2015. Heidi Hammel provided the history.


Corrine Coles, soloist

A traditional English folk song with harmonies

When I was a young man, I worked with a team
And me only delight was in keepin' 'em clean
With brushes and curries, I'd show their fine colour
And the name as they gave I was a hearty good fellow

As I do in the evening, I goes to my bed The thought of my horses comes into my head
And I rise the next morning with something to eat
Just as soon as I can get my shoes on my feet

And as we go driving, out on the highway When light goes their load why I feeds 'em some hay
And I gives 'em some water, when we comes to a pond
And after they've drunk boys move steadily on

My legs they do go weary, a walking by their side
And I says to myself you must get up and ride
And as we go riding, I make a new song And as I do sing you must learn it along

repeat first verse


Ils ont changé ma chanson . . .
What
have they done to my song . . .

This is Turkish group Kalabalik (meaning Crowd) with absolutely no apology for what they have done to OUR song.
They credit it as 'Medieval',
no mention of it being English

We are not the only ones with traditions.
In Hawaii, May 1st is Lei Day.


Parents watched their children perform at
Star of the Sea Catholic Church and School
in Kahala on the island of Oahu in Hawaii
in celebration of Lei Day.

In school videos I find it fun to watch the differing levels of interest and concentration.

The boy who looks like he's enjoying his moment of fame appears utterly bored later when his partner is alone in the limelight!

Could you be up for a little ancient and modern?

Ancient (and catchy) is the tune: Julia Delaney's Reel

Modern is this version by Hugues on guitar and electric guitar, and Bouzouk XP (I have not found his real name) playing the  Irish Bouzouki.

Provided nobody can see you, you may dance to this:
also know as:
Glencar, Julia Delaney, Julia Delany’s, Julie Delaney’s,
Julie Delany’s, La Sorcière, Lonesome, Maude Millar’s Highland, Maude Millar’s Highland Fling,
Reel De La Sorciere, Reel Des Sorcières.


Lili Marleen

Poem: Hans Leip
(1898-1983)
Music: Norbert Schulze (1911-2002)

Sung by: Marlene Dietrich



Leip wrote the text while serving in the army during World War I. The poem was originally titled Das Mädchen unter der Laterne  - The Girl under the Lantern. He reportedly combined the nickname of his girlfriend with that of a nurse.

The poem was later published as Das Lied eines jungen Soldaten auf der Wacht - The Song of a Young Soldier on Watch in 1937, now with the final two (of five) verses added by Leip.

It was set to music by prolific film music composer
Norbert Schultze
in 1938 using a tune he had written for a toothpaste advert !

South Pacific Medley

Sung by: Gay Men's Chorus Los Angeles
