Psalm 1 (Tune: Spancil Hill)

Psalm 6 (LM) - Soldau



1. Messe Royale de Versailles – D’après les Manuscrits de la Maison de Bourbon
(Royal Mass of Versailles – From the Manuscripts of the House of Bourbon)

2. Messe Solennelle pour la Chapelle Royale – Inspirée des Archives de la Maison d’Orléans
(Solemn Mass for the Royal Chapel – Inspired by the Archives of the House of Orléans)

Messes Royales de Versailles – Héritage des Manuscrits Secrets des Maisons de Bourbon et d’Orléans réunit deux messes baroques majestueuses, réinventées et complétées par Akiva David à partir de manuscrits historiques jalousement conservés par les lignées princières françaises. Découverts lors d’une rencontre familiale avec des cousins éloignés des Maisons de Bourbon et d’Orléans, ces trésors musicaux proviennent de la Chapelle Royale de Versailles et témoignent de l’éclat liturgique de l’Ancien Régime.

Sous la direction d’Akiva David, et interprétées par la Choral Society of Fête Saint-Hubert Hounds, ces messes recréent la grandeur sonore de Lully, Rameau et Delalande, avec instruments d’époque à diapason historique (A=415) et chœur en latin. Du murmure d’un hautbois solitaire à l’éclat triomphal des trompettes naturelles et des timbales, l’enregistrement, capté dans l’acoustique majestueuse d’une chapelle royale, restitue la dévotion, la pompe et la splendeur artistique d’un monde disparu.

PSALM 103 From the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Meter: CM

  2  Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
        and not forgetful be
     Of all his gracious benefits
        he hath bestowed on thee.

  3  All thine iniquities who doth
        most graciously forgive:
     Who thy diseases all and pains
        doth heal, and thee relieve.

  4  Who doth redeem thy life, that thou
        to death may'st not go down;
     Who thee with loving-kindness doth
        and tender mercies crown:

Psalm 41 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

 9  Yea, ev'n mine own familiar friend,
         on whom I did rely,
      Who ate my bread, ev'n he his heel
         against me lifted high.
      
  11  By this I know that certainly
         I favored am by thee;
      Because my hateful enemy
         triumphs not over me.

  12  But as for me, thou me uphold'st
         in mine integrity;
      And me before thy countenance
         thou sett'st continually.

  13  The Lord, the God of Israel,
         be blessed for ever then,
      From age to age eternally.
         Amen, yea, and amen.

Psalm 41 v9-13 (Tune: Culross)

Psalm 143 sung Acapella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded Glasgow RP church. (Meter: 66.66D) Support the psalms - www.patreon.com/join/psalms

6 Lo, I do stretch my hands
To thee, my help alone;
For thou well understands
All my complaint and moan:
My thirsting soul desires,
And longeth after thee,
As thirsty ground requires
With rain refreshed to be.

7 Lord, let my pray'r prevail,
To answer it make speed;
For, lo, my sp'rit doth fail:
Hide not thy face in need;
Lest I be like to those
That do in darkness sit,
Or him that downward goes
Into the dreadful pit.

8 Because I trust in thee,
O Lord, cause me to hear
Thy loving-kindness free,
When morning doth appear:
Cause me to know the way
Wherein my path should be;
For why, my soul on high
I do lift up to thee.

Psalm 143 v6-8 (Tune: Heber)

Psalm 72 v 17-19 - Stornoway

PSALM 27 sung acapella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland) Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church.

2 When evildoers threaten me
to take my life away,
My adversaries and my foes
will stumble in that day.

3 Although an army hems me in,
my heart will feel no dread;
Though war against me should arise,
I will lift up my head.

4 One thing I’ll plead before the LORD,
and this I’ll seek always:
That I may come within God’s house
and dwell there all my days—

That on the beauty of the LORD
I constantly may gaze,
And in his house may seek to know
direction in his ways.

Psalm 27 (Tune: Jackson)
