Denn du hast meine Nieren bereitetBiblical Text (Psalm 139: 13-16)Denn du hast meine Nieren bereitet und hast mich gebildet im Mutterleib.Ich danke dir dafür, daß ich wunderbar gemacht bin; wunderbar sind deine Werke, und das erkennt meine Seele wohl.Es war dir mein Gebein nicht verhohlen, da ich im Verborgenen gemacht ward, da ich gebildet ward unten in der Erde.Deine Augen sahen mich, da ich noch unbereitet war, und alle Tage waren auf dein Buch geschrieben, die noch werden sollten, als derselben keiner da war.For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.Psalm 119Biblical Text (Psalm 119: 97-104)Wie habe ich dein Gesetz so lieb! Täglich rede ich davon.Du machst mich mit deinem Gebot weiser, als meine Feinde sind; denn es ist ewiglich mein Schatz. Ich bin gelehrter denn alle meine Lehrer; denn deine Zeugnisse sind meine Rede. Ich bin klüger denn die Alten; denn ich halte deine Befehle. Ich wehre meinem Fuß alle bösen Wege, daß ich dein Wort halte. Ich weiche nicht von deinen Rechten; denn du lehrest mich. Dein Wort ist meinem Munde süßer denn Honig. Dein Wort macht mich klug; darum hasse ich alle falschen Wege.Oh, how I love your law!I meditate on it all day long.Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies.I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts.I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word.I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me.How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.  LyricsBeautifulJulie Mitchell (2012)Soprano: Beautiful, so it seems this work is beautiful,So it seems right now this artwork is touching me.Mezzo: I guess it’s alright, so it’s beautiful, so it seems this work is beautiful,So it seems right now this artwork is touching her.Both: From whom did such great beauty rise?For whom shall my/her praise lift and rise?To whom shall I/she give praises to?For whom shall my/her interest be true?Tenor: Isn’t she beautiful?Beautiful, so it seems this girl is beautiful,So it seems I have a need for her to be mine.Mezzo: It’s not that beautiful.Tenor: She is beautiful to me.Sop./Mezzo: For whom shall my/her praise lift and rise today?Tenor: Isn’t she beautiful? She is so beautiful to me!Soprano: I cannot ignore how beautiful this work is now.Mezzo: She’s so dull, can’t she figure it out?How come she won’t realize that it’s not that beautiful.Tenor: She is so beautiful, I cannot believe my eyes.She is so beautiful!Soprano: Ev’rything is beautiful, so it seems this work is beautiful.So it seems right now it’s touching me.Mezzo: It’s not that great. It’s not that beautiful to me,It is not beautiful.Tenor: It’s true that she is beautiful to me!She’s beautiful… She is so beautiful to me!Mezzo: Not beautiful to me!Soprano: It’s so beautiful to me!Celtic RootsI. Sanas na Marbh Dolores StewartDá mbeadh fonn orm, tabharfadh mé deireadh lae –  ag dul i leith na deirge,  muirn an tsean-chatha  i mochluasa dúnta agus lámh chiotach na staire  faoi mo bhráid: beaignití na nDeargánach ag muinéal  mo chuimhne.Agus dá mbeadh fonn orm,  bhainfadh mé solás as an bhfuarán sléibhe ag déanamh  ar thobar an bhláirfholaimh,  murach an básbholadh,  murach an trup cos  If only I were in the right mood, not so inclined to dabble in the blood-freckleddepths  of the lake,  or open both my ears  to known battle-cries bearing down on me  from the left hand side of theannals,I would dodge the bayonets of Redcoats  glancing off the throat of folk stories,  and turn my hand  to scribbling out the registers of a mountain stream  tricklingII. Samhain 1994 (November 1994)Cathal Ó SearcaighAnocht agus mé ag meabhrú go mór fá mo chroí  Gan de sholas ag lasadh an tí ach fannsholas gríosaí  Smaointím airsean a dtug mé gean dó fadó agus gnaoiA Dhia, dá mba fharraige an dorchadas a bhí eadrainn  Dhéanfainn long den leabaidh seo anois agus threabhfainn  Tonnta tréana na cumhaí anonn go cé a chléibhe…Tá sé ar shiúl is cha philleann sé chugam go brách  Ach mar a bhuanaíonn an t-éan san ubh, an crann sa dearcán;  Go lá a bhrátha, mairfidh i m’anamsa, gin dá ghrá.Tonight as I search the depths of my heart,  in the dark of the house and the last ember-light,  I’m thinking of one I loved long ago.And if the darkness between us became like the sea,  I’d make a boat of this bed, plunge its bow  through the waves that barge the heart’s quay.Although he is gone and won’t ever be back,  I’ll guard in my soul the last spark of his love,  like the bird in the egg and the tree in the nut. a chualas ar ghualann na tuaithe: buídhe-an cuachta as an rí-theaghlach Stiúbhart-ach,  arís ar na gcosaibh?Agus dá gcuirfeadh mé ar fán –  bheinn i láthair mar fhámaire ghaoithe,  ag áb-hacht le brait idir dhearg ’s bhreacán,  ag déanamh gaisce sna Garbh Críocha,ag déanamh éachta ar son an Phrionsa.Ach an fonn orm, bheinn sásta gloine fíona Spáinneach  a ardú do Phrionsa an Fhraoigh, nó feirc bán a chaith  i mo chaipín, nó éamh  ar Chríost féin.  Ach tá rian an áir  ar an aer agus cnámha cos-cartha faoi thalamh: tá rian an áir  artá rian an áir  ar an aer agus cnámha coscartha faoi thalamh: slua ghairm  na marbh ag briseadh isteach ar mo neamhaistear, ag lorg na déirce ó chluas bhodhar na cruinnedown to the battlefield –if it wasn’t for the death-smell, or the clatter  of troop movements that comes to me over the ridge,  a detachment, maybe, from the royal house of Stewart, once again  on the march?  In lighter mood, I would dawdle like a day-tripper, in equal halves  draw on red badges or plaid, jig-acting in the wake  of the Highland Prince.  And if I were in the mood, I would raise a glass  to the Prince of the Heather, sport a white cockadein my cap, and plead with Christ for the cause,  but the salt lake is turning the colour of blood,  and battle-slogans of the slain  are coming through as the chant of a last-ditch Kyrie –  breaking into my humour at every hand’s turn.III.
