Adoru kantante, 1971

Haruo: /* External link */ geocities => reocities

'''''Adoru kantante''''' is a hymnal in the Esperanto language, published in 1971 by Kristana Esperantista Ligo Internacia, a Protestant organization. Containing 262 hymn texts as well as music (generally four-part settings) for all the hymns, ''Adoru kantante'' was the most ambitious Esperanto Christian hymnal prior to the appearance of ''[[Adoru: Ekumena Diserva Libro, 2001|Adoru]]'' in 2001. It remains in print and is recommended as a source of musical settings for many of the texts it shares with ''Adoru'', as most of the hymns in the latter have only melody lines and chords supplied.

2008-05-29T19:53:11Z

Haruo:

Subtitled ''Cheyenne Spiritual Songs'', '''''Tsese-Ma'heone-Nemeotȯtse''''' is the most widely used Cheyenne-language hymnal of the present day. Published in 1982 by the Mennonite Indian Leaders Council in Busby, Montana, this hymnal is used by Cheyenne-language congregations of various denominations in both Montana and Oklahoma. The book contains 161 hymns (with music) in Cheyenne, a 45-page "Handbook to the Hymns" (comprising 32 pages of "Notes on words and Music to the Hymns" plus two essays, "A Brief History of the Cheyenne Hymns" and "Transcription of Plains Indian Hymn Melodies"), three indexes (sources, topics, and titles/first lines), and an appendix containing 19 "Singable English Translations" intended to encourage bilingual worship.

Be Thou, O God, exalted high

2008-05-29T07:57:52Z

Haruo: /* Lyrics (from The Cyber Hymnal™) */

'''Be Thou, O God, exalted high''' is a hymn, or [[metrical psalm]], published in [[Tate and Brady]]'s [[A New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696]]. Its first stanza is, slightly altered, given under the title "[[Communion Doxology (Christian Science)|Communion Doxology]]" as the first item in the [[Christian Science Hymnal, 1932]].

==Lyrics (from The Cyber Hymnal™)==

Be thou, O God exalted high; 
And as Thy glory fills the sky, 
So let it be on earth displayed, 
Till Thou art here, as there, obeyed. 
 
O God, my heart is fixed; ’tis bent 
Its thankful tribute to present; 
And, with my heart, my voice I’ll raise 
To Thee, my God, in songs of praise. 
 
Thy praises, Lord, I will resound 
To all the listening nations round; 
Thy mercy highest heav’n transcends; 
Thy truth beyond the clouds extends.

In this list, when an English title follows the Italian, does this mean that ''Inni, 1994'', gives the text bilingually, or does it simply mean that the Italian is a translation, paraphrase, or approximate equivalent of the English? --[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 16:25, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:There are no translations in the book itself. The editor of this article probably just wanted us to know the English equivalents.

I've noticed it says Italian only by some of the hymns in this article. Are you sure none of these are also in English, but just not in the most recent LDS hymnal, or also included in another foreign hymnal? Anyway, if you don't know for sure, I propose we change those to stars or something. It's also possible some of these are hymns not in any other LDS hymnals, but that they are Italian translations from other hymns not previously used in LDS hymnals.

I put article links (or whatever you call them) around all the Italian names of the hymns. This is with the intention of one day having these redirect to the English articles, or articles about the Italian (or such) ones for those that weren't originally in English. Notes on differences in meaning between the Italian and English should be noted. I've noticed that translations of songs are often quite liberal, and sometimes are different hymns, with 'similar' themes. [[User:Veramet|Veramet]] 06:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, sometimes the only real connection is the tune. For example, a hymn in the Japanese [[讃美歌, 1954|Sambika (1954)]] was frequently regarded/treated as the Japanese version of "Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee" simply because it was sung to ''Hymn to Joy'' (arranged from Beethoven's 9th Symphony). In fact, the Japanese hymn is a translation of a text beginning "Ring, O ring, ye chimes of glory". I have not yet been able to locate that text, which was written by a Canadian Methodist missionary in Japan in the late 1800s. But I keep looking. The current Japanese hymnal, [[讃美歌 21|Sambika 21]], has an actual translation of "Joyful, joyful" and the "Ring, O ring" translation has been omitted. --[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 07:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

'''讃美歌''' or '''賛美歌''' (romanized as ''Sanbika'' or ''Sambika'') is one of the commonest Japanese expressions meaning "hymn"; since Japanese nouns are the same in the singular and plural, ''Sanbika'' also means "hymns", and thus by extension "hymnal"; many Japanese hymnals have had precisely this title, and others incorporate it. The three characters mean, literalistically, "Praise Beauty Song"; the middle character can be omitted without changing the basic sense of the compound, thus 讃歌 / 賛歌 . Another Japanese term for "hymn" is '''聖歌''' (''Seika'', literally "sacred song"); this, too, is a common hymnal title element.

Haruo: Title change (Move)

Some churches make a strong distinction between [[Advent]] Hymns (To be sung during the four weeks or so immediately preceding Christmas), Christmas Hymns (generally limited to the period of [[Christmas Eve|December 24]] - January 5), and [[Epiphany]] Hymns (to be sung on January 6 - the Feast of the Magi - and/or on the first Sunday in January). Some traditions also distinguish carols from hymns, and discourage the singing of the former in church. Many of the "hymns" listed here would be regarded as "carols" in these traditions. Perhaps it would be useful to have abbreviations after each item, such as:
* [A] = "Advent"
* [CC] = "Christmas Carol"
* [E] = "Epiphany"
I'll try this system on your list, and add a few items.--[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 13:49, 8 August 2007 (MDT)
:Well, one thing I'll say is, Preformatting is Not The Way to do a two column list like that. either go to one column, or use Tables. In a preformatted list you can't even use Ab links. And it's a lot of work getting things lined up right. --[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 14:04, 8 August 2007 (MDT)
::I just put the pre tags in because I didn't have time to make it show up properly. Feel free to edit this according to taste. The person who originally made the article is the one who did the fancy formatting (I only put the tags on—it just looked a mess without them). [[User:Veramet|Veramet]] 12:02, 9 August 2007 (MDT)

== Title change (Move) ==

Because some of these songs stretch the meaning of "Hymn" beyond its limit, while others are too hymnic to call them carols, I renamed the list "Christmas Songs" to allow it to have the broadest range, from the silliest secular ditty to the most majestic high-church chorale.

List of Christmas Songs

2007-08-10T21:42:08Z

Haruo: Christmas Hymns moved to List of Christmas Songs: If this becomes an article in addition to the list involved, it will be thoroughly unwieldy. By specifically naming it a "List" I hope to stave this off.

Of course no list of Christmas hymns and carols can be complete; new ones are written each year. This list is only meant as a beginning; other lists include the Indexes at [http://hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/HTML/The_hymns_and_carols_.htm The Hymns and Carols of Christmas] and [http://cyberhymnal.org/top/xmas.htm The Cyber Hymnal™]. Songs not originally in English are listed by common English translation when one is known, with the original language indicated by parenthetical abbreviation following (e.g. (la) = Latin, (de) = German, etc.). [A] indicates an Advent song, [E] an Epiphany song, etc. [S] indicates a secular, pagan or irreligious song; [P] indicates a parody. Common titles that differ from the incipits are given in some cases.

讃美歌第二編

2007-08-10T09:50:22Z

Haruo:

'''''讃美歌第二編''''' (''Sanbika Dainihen'', literally ''Hymnal Second Compilation'') is a protestant (Kyodan) hymnal published in 1967 as a supplement to the 1954 ''[[讃美歌, 1954|讃美歌]]''. It is notable for the inclusion of more folkloristic material (including Negro Spirituals) and more material in indigenous Japanese modes such as ''gagaku'' than in the 1954 compilation or other earlier Japanese hymnals. The contents comprise 259 numbered musical items.

Beginning in 1974, the two compilations were also issued bound together in a single volume.

Haruo:

This is the current LDS hymnal in Japanese. It should be noted that it is not exactly like the English one, only translated into Japanese. There are a few different songs, and there are less songs overall. Versified translations are often liberal enough to add significant new insights, as well.

Haruo:

'''''讃美歌''''' (transliterated as ''"Sanbika"'' or ''"Sambika"'') is the title of numerous hymnals published down through the years. In 1954 a Protestant hymnal with this title was published by the Kyodan, or United Church of Christ in Japan. This hymnal contains 538 hymns, 29 additional numbered musical contents (service music, doxologies, sung responses, amens etc.), and 46 Bible excerpts arranged for responsive reading.

Beginning in 1974, the hymnal was also issued bound together with [[讃美歌第二編]], which had been published separately in 1967.

讃美歌 / 賛美歌

2007-08-10T08:53:34Z

Haruo:

'''讃美歌''' (''Sanbika'' or ''Sambika'') is one of the commonest Japanese expressions meaning "hymn"; since Japanese nouns are the same in the singular and plural, 讃美歌 also means "hymns", and thus by extension "hymnal"; many Japanese hymnals have had precisely this title, and others incorporate it. The term "Sanbika" can also be written '''賛美歌'''. The three characters mean, literalistically, "Praise Beauty Song"; the middle character can be omitted without changing the basic sense of the compound, thus 讃歌 / 賛歌 . Another Japanese term for "hymn" is '''聖歌''' (''Seika'', literally "sacred song"); this, too, is a common hymnal title element.

'''Advent''' is a season in the liturgical calendar that begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and ends on December 23rd or 24th (depending on one's interpretation). The term is from the Latin for "Arrival", and the season is the period during which the focus is upon the impending arrival of Jesus on Christmas. In some traditions the focus may also be on the impending Second Coming of Christ, on a date unspecified.

Important Advent hymns include:
*[[Come, thou long-expected Jesus]]
*[[Comfort, comfort ye my people]]
*[[Creator of the stars of night]]
*[[O come, O come Emmanuel]]

Talk:Jesu, aus Lieb konnt'st Du sterben für mich!

This appears to be a German translation of the lyrics entitled ''Something for Thee'' ([http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/s/t/sthydynl.htm CyberHymnal] (incipit "Savior, thy dying love"), written by Sylvanus Phelps. [[Something for Thee]] is the tune name. --[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 15:43, 6 August 2007 (MDT)
:Hmm, thanks for the information. I might expect I'll come across many such situations in my notation of that hymnal. Is the tune ''Something for Thee'', ''Something for Jesus'' or both? [[User:Veramet|Veramet]] 20:53, 6 August 2007 (MDT)
::Hmm, I don't know if I agree that it's a translation, so to speak (well, it appears that the person who did the German was aware of the English, but if it's a translation, it appears to be highly ''versified'', so to speak, as many translations come to be). [[User:Veramet|Veramet]] 21:05, 6 August 2007 (MDT)
:::You're right, I meant "[[Something for Jesus]]" rather than "Something for Thee" for the tune name (and occasionally as the title of the song). As to whether it's a translation or not, German is not my strongest suit, but it appears to me to be a loose translation, or paraphrase. But clearly it is in some sense based on Phelps's text, and the tune is clearly and completely Lowry's. --[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 03:57, 8 August 2007 (MDT)

Were both the lyrics and tunes originally written in Korean?

:Some yes, some no. (Of course, tunes aren't written "in [a language]"; so I assume you mean "in Korea by Koreans" where the tunes are concerned.) I don't have a tabulation of the national origins of the tunes, but as far as the lyrics go, [http://www.gbod.org/worship/koreanhymntable.html this webpage] shows which lyrics (listed by English first line) were originally in Korean (anything with an X in the first column). If I counted correctly, there are 34, or slightly under 10%. (Of course, not all the others are English-original, since some are from Latin, etc. But most are from English.) Most if not all of these are set to original Korean tunes. I suspect the main reason there aren't more such hymns is because there aren't that many really skilled hymn ''translators'' working between the two languages, and those there are mostly work on English-to-Korean rather than the other direction. --[[User:Haruo|Haruo]] 15:30, 6 August 2007 (MDT)

The Annunciation of Mary is the occasion on which, according to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annunciation#The_Annunciation_in_the_Bible Luke 1:26-38], the angel Gabriel ''announced'' to Mary her impending pregnancy and bearing of Emmanuel, or Jesus. In the liturgical churches, this is celebrated nine months before the Nativity (Christmas), hence for most churches, on March 25. Gabriel's first words to Mary yield the first part of the musically important [[Ave Maria]] (''Hail Mary'').
