    Ep 18 - ChantHacks: "Missa Alleluia: Magnus Dominus - Kyrie" by Mark Emerson Donnelly

    Hi folks! It's been awhile. Although I've posted a few videos on my Youtube channel, I've not sent out a ChantHacks episode for a few months. Yesterday, my wife, Catherine, son, Joseph, and I went to the Carmel of the Holy Family in Valparaiso, Nebraska for Mass. It being the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, the Alleluia was Magnus Dominus. I love this Alleluia! Ten years ago (2015), I started writing a "paraphrase mass" based on this chant. (A "paraphrase mass" is composed using the material of a pre-existing tune, usually a Gregorian Chant.) I completed the Kyrie that year, but not the rest.  Over the next couple of years, I completed the Gloria and Sanctus, both of which we sang at the British Columbia Sacred Music Symposium, August 3 & 4, 2019 (exactly six years ago). That's as far as I've gotten. Here's a recording of the Kyrie sung in workshop by Belle Voci (bellevoci.ca) in August, 2017. Let me know if you like it and think I should finish the mass (Credo & Agnus Dei). God bless! Mark === The chant at the beginning and the polyphony at the end are on the album "All Saints at St. Michael's -  25th Anniversary", which is available at www.markemersondonnelly.com/shop/ The polyphony at the end is from "Pater Noster" (2017) by Mark Emerson Donnelly. To hear the complete Pater Noster go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rd0ZYJs1w0\ === To support Mr. Donnelly in his work, go to  www.chanthacksfoundation.org If you have any questions, email allanna@vocalart.org

In the stable thou didst guard them, With a father's loving care; Thou by God's command didst save them From the cruel Herod's snare. Three long days in grief and anguish With His Mother sweet and mild, Mary Virgin, didst thou wander Seeking the beloved Child. In the temple thou didst find Him: Oh! What joy then fill'd thy heart! In thy sorrows, in thy gladness Grant us, Joseph, to have a part. Clasp'd in Jesus' arms and Mary's, When death gently came at last, Thy pure spirit sweetly sighing From its earthly dwelling pass'd. Dear Saint Joseph! By thy passing May our death be like to thine; And with Jesus, Mary, Joseph, May our souls forever shine!
