2.Panis Angelicus


Lyricist:C Ar Franck
Writer(s):C Ar Franck
Mixing:Julian Smith

Panis Angelicus
Fit panis hominum;
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum.
Pauper, pauper,
Sevus et humilis.


Heavenly Bread
That becomes the bread for all mankind;
Bread from the angelic host
That is the end of all imaginings
Oh, miraculous thing!
This body of God will nourish
Even the poorest,
The most humble of servants.
Even the poorest,
The most humble of servants.


3.In Trutina


Lyricist:Carl Orff
Writer(s):Carl Orff

In Trutina mentis dubia
fluctuant contraria
lascivus amor et pudicitia
Sed eligo quod video,
collum iugo prebeo:
ad iugum tamen suave transeo.


I am suspended
between love
and chastity,
but I choose
what is before me
and take upon myself the sweet yoke.


4.The Lords Prayer


Lyrics:Albert Hay Malotte
Music:Albert Hay Malotte

Our father,
Which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive our trespasses,
As we forgive thoes who trespass against up.
And lead us not into tempation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory, forever Amen.


5.Jerusalem


Lyrics:C.Hubert/H.Parry
Music:C.Hubert/H.Parry

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountians green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among thoes dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold,
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! Oh, clouds unfold!
Bring me my charoit of fire.
I will not cease from mental fight,
Now shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and plesant land!


6.Ave Maria


Lyrics:Giulio Caccini
Music:Giulio Caccini
Arranger:Nick Ingman

Ave Maria, Ave Maria, repeat


7.Psalm 23


Lyrics:Colin Mawby
Music:Colin Mawby
Arranger:Andrew Wilson-Dickson

The Lord is my sheperd there is nothing I shall want.
Fresh and green are the pastures where he gives me repose.
Near restful waters he leads me, to revive my drooping spirit.
He guids me along the right path. He is true to his name.
If I should walk in the valley of darkness, no evil would I
fear.
You are there with your crook and your staff;
with these you give me comfort.
You have prepared a banquet for me in the signt of my foes;
My head you have anointed with oil; my cup is overflowing.
Surely goodness and kindness shall follow me all the days of my
life.
In the Lord's own house I shall dwell for ever and ever,
In the Lord's own house I shall dwell for ever.


8.I vow to thee. My Country


Lyrics:Gustav Holst
Music:Gustav Holst

I vow to thee my country, all earthly things above,
entire and whole and perfect, the services of my love;
the love that asks no questions, the love thats stands the test,
that lays upon the altar, the dearest and the best;
the love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
repeat

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
we may not count her armies, we may no see her king;
her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
and soul by soul silently her shining bounds increase,
and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.

repeat


9.Danny Boy


Lyrics:Harold Samuel
Music:Harold Samuel
Arranger:David Seaman

O Danny Boy, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountian side.
The summer's gone and all the roses falling;
It's you, it's you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushead and white with snow.
I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow;
Oh Danny Boy, Oh Danny Boy, I love you so!

But when ye come, and all the flow'rs are dying,
If I am dead as dead I may well be.
Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear soft you tread above me;
And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be,
For you will bend and tell me that you love me;
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!


10.My Lagan Love


Arranger:Meinir Huelyn

Where Lagan stream sings lullaby
There blows a lily fair
The twilight gleam is in her eye,
The night is on her hair
And, like a love-sick lenanshee,
She hath my hear in thrall;
Nor life I owe, nor liberty,
For Love is Lord of all.
And often when the beetle horn
Hath lulled the eve to sleep,
I steal unto her shilding lorn
And thro' the dooring peep.
There on the cricket's singing stone
She spares the bog wood fire.
And hums in sad sweet undertone
The song of heart's desire.


11.Suo-Gan


Mixing:David Seaman

Huna blentyn, ar fy mynwes,
Clyd a chymes ydyw hon;
Breichiau mam sy dan fy mron.
Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gyntun
Ni wna undyn a thi gam;
Huna'n dawel, annwyl bientyn,
Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.
Hun'n dawel hana huna
Huna'n fwyd y del ei lun;
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu.
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun.
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu
Arnat yno'n gwenu'n ol a huno,
Huno'n dawel ar fy mron.

Padid ag ofni dim ond deilen
Gura, gura ar y ddor:
Padi ag ofin ton fach unig
Sua, sua ar lan y mor
Huna blentyn nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw;
Gwena'a dawel ar fy mynwes
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw.


To my Lullaby surrender,
Warm and tender is my breast;
Mother's arm s with love caressing
Lay their blessing on your rest;
Nothing shall tonight alarm you,
None shall harm you, have no fear;
Lie contented, calmly slumber
On your mother's breast, my dear.
Here tonight I tightly hold you
And enfold you while you sleep;
Why, I wonder, are you smiling,
Smiling in your slumber deep?
Are the angels on you smiling
And beguiling you with charm,
While you also smile, my blossom,
In my bosom soft and warm?

Have no fear now, leaves are knocking,
Gently knocking at our door;
Have no fear, waves are beating,
Gently beating on the shore.
Sleep my darling, none shall harm you
Nor alarm you, never cry,
In my bosom sweetly smiling
And beguiling those on high.


12.A Lullaby


Lyrics:Hamilton Harty
Music:Hamilton Harty
Arranger:Julian Smith

I'll set you a-swing in a purple bell
Of the lady finger.
Where brown bees linger
And loiter long.
I'll set you a-swing in a fairy dell,
To the silv'ry ring
On a fairy song
I'll put you afloat in a boat of pearl
On a moonlit sea,
Where your path shall be
of silver and blue
To fairyland children, sweet girl,
To its rode-strwen strand bathed in glist'ning dew,
Bathed in glist'ning ded

I'll make you a nest, a soft, warm nest,
In my heart's core,
Alanniv ashore
When day is gone,
Where costly curled on mother's breast,
My share o' the world,
You'll rest till dawn.


13.Amazing Grace


Arranger:Julian Smith

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found,
Was blind but now I see.
T'was grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fear relieved.
How precious did that grace appear.
The hour will lead us home.

Though many dangers, toils and snares,
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun;
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun.


14.The Curlew

Dy alwad glywir hanner dydd
Fel ffiwt hyfrydlais uwch y rhos
Fel shwiban bugail a fo gudd
Dy alwad glywir hanner nos;
Nes clywir, pan ddwys a dy swn
Cyfarth dy anweledig gwn
Dy braidd yw'r moel gymylau maith,
A'th basrod gwn yw'r pedwar gwynt
Gorlanna'th ddiadelloedd llaith
I'w gwasgar eilwaith ar eu hynt
Yn yrr ddiorffwys, laes ddifref
Hyd lynfnion hafodllasau'r nef.


Your call is heard at high noon-day
A wistful flute across the mere;
As herdsman's whistle far away
You call is heard at midnight clear.
Then hear we, as you swell your keen,
Barking afar, your hounds unseen.
Your flocks the massice clouds of grey,
And all four winds, your eager hounds,
Awhile do pen then ere they stray
And scatter once more out of bounds,
A mute and restless drove on high
Amid the shielings of the sky.


15.Owls

When night was lit by moon glow
And dusty roads lay white,
The empty bridge bestode the stream
O'er water's gleam so bright.
The owls were heard each one in turn,
From Cwm y Glo across the burn
When wild ducks swayed at anchor
Beneath the moonbeams bold,
When morning wind it's woe did sing,
Whipping the waveletts cold,
Pitiless was their hooting then.
From Myndd Du across the glen.

When gleaming Glaslyn glided
Through dusk, like sword to sheath
When distand mansions' windows glowed
Through shadowed woodlands wreath,
When sullen silence stunned the hounds
Ynysfor's night fell to thier sounds

And when the worlds shall darken,
Ended their frantic day,
And when the stealthy stillness minds
All mankind's works and play,
Still shall their latin sound true,
Nor glad nor sad, 'Tu whit, tu woo!'


16.There's Longing in the Sea

There's longing in the sea and mountians grey,
There's longing too in silence and in song,
In murm'ring waters too on their endless way,
At sunset hours and firelight's flames among;
But fondest in the wind it makes its moan,
And saddest is the sedge the wind replies
Awaking echo's echo with its tone
And mem'ry's mem'ry in the hearts deep sighs.
And when one harkens to the chanticleer
And hand with eager song at break of day
Evoking answers upon answers clear
From nearby gardens, till from far away
At last songster lifts him voice on high,
With distance and longing in its cry.


17.When at night I go to sleep



Arranger:Engelbert Humperdinck

When at night I go to sleep,
Fourteen angels watch do keep
Two my head are guarding;
Two my feet are guarding;
Two are on my right hand;
Two are on my left hand;
Two whom warmly cover;
Two who o're me hover;
Two whom tis' given
To guide my steps to heaven.
