6  That in thee may thy people joy,
         wilt thou not us revive?
   7  Show us thy mercy, Lord, to us
         do thy salvation give.

   8  I'll hear what God the Lord will speak:
         to his folk he'll speak peace,
      And to his saints; but let them not
         return to foolishness.

   9  To them that fear him surely near
        is his salvation;
      That glory in our land may have
         her habitation.

  10  Truth met with mercy, righteousness
         and peace kissed mutually:
  11  Truth springs from earth, and righteousness
         looks down from heaven high.

  12  Yea, what is good the Lord shall give;
         our land shall yield increase:
  13  Justice, to set us in his steps,
         shall go before his face.

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.

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.


Ps 50 v 1-6 Golden Hill

Ps 113 St. Columba (Erin)

Recorded during evening worship @ Airdrie RPCS 2010

1     The mighty God, the Lord,
         hath spoken, and did call
      The earth, from rising of the sun,
         to where he hath his fall.

   2     From out of Zion hill,
         which of excellency
      And beauty the perfection is,
         God shined gloriously.

   3     Our God shall surely come,
         keep silence shall not he:
      Before him fire shall waste, great storms
         shall round about him be.

   4     Unto the heavens clear
         he from above shall call,
      And to the earth likewise, that he
         may judge his people all.

   5     Together let my saints
         unto me gathered be,
      Those that by sacrifice have made
         a covenant with me.

   6     And then the heavens shall
         his righteousness declare:
      Because the Lord himself is he
         by whom men judged are.

Psalm 50 v1-6 (Tune: Carlisle)

Psalm 16 (Gaelic) - Moravia

Psalm 25 sung Acapella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) Support the psalms: www.patreon.com/psalms

12  What man fears God? him shall he teach
         the way that he shall choose.
  13  His soul shall dwell at ease; his seed
         the earth, as heirs, shall use.

  14  The secret of the Lord is with
         such as do fear his name;
      And he his holy covenant
         will manifest to them.

  15  Towards the Lord my waiting eyes
         continually are set;
      For he it is that shall bring forth
         my feet out of the net.

Psalm 32 v 7-11 - Ardross
