  • Adam Lay Ybounden Sebastian ADAMS
    Adam Lay yBounden Sebastian ADAMS Commissioned by RTÉ lyric fm Adam Lay yBounden Adam Lay yBounden is a text written in England around 1400. Mediaeval thinkers believed that Adam (and other notable Old Testament figures) were stuck in limbo until the crucifixion of Christ, and this idea is the subject of the text, which is ‘macaronic’, meaning it combines different languages1. I got to know these words from a beautiful setting of them by Boris Ord which I used to sing as a choirboy in St Bartholomew’s Church in Dublin. The strange text is tense and explosive, and the idea that the whole story hinged on a stolen apple drew me in as a small child, and I looked forward to singing it every advent – I think I was by far my favourite carol. When I was commissioned to write a carol by RTÉ lyric fm, the text jumped at me as I began working on a frosty winter evening. My setting is dedicated to Malcolm Wisener, who was my choirmaster and without whom I could never have become a composer. Synopsis: Adam lay bound in limbo for so long that 4000 winters passed without his noticing. And his imprisonment was simply because of the apple that he took from Eve, according to the ancient books. But if Adam hadn’t eaten the apple, then Mary never would have become Queen of Heaven, because Christ would not have been born man and died for our sins. Because of this, the time when the apple was eaten is blessed, and we must praise God.

  • Lessons and Carols 2018
    Lessons and Carols 2018 Lesson 1: Genesis 3:8-13 Reader: Sandy Bowles Adam Lay Ybounden – Sheldon Curry (15th c. medieval poem) Adam lay yBounden, bounden in a bond, (Adam was bound by bonds) Forwe thowsand wynter thowt he not to long (Four thousand winters, thought he not too long) And al was for an appil, appil tha he tok, (and all was for an apple, apple that he took) Ase clerk is fynden wretyn in here bok. (as the clerk (monk) has found written in the book (the Bible)) Allelu, alleluia. Sing alleluia. Ne hadde appil tak ben, Appil take ben (had the apple not been taken) Ne hadde neuer our laddde aben heuene quen, never would have Our Lady Mary been heavens queen And blyssid be the tyme that appil take was, (and blessed be the time that apple was taken) Therefore we mown syngyn, Deo gracias! Therefore we sing, Thanks be to God! Adam Lay Ybounden relates the events of Genesis, Chapter 3. According to a medieval tradition, Adam was held in bonds with the other patriarchs in the limbus patrum patriarchs limbo from the time of his death until the crucifixion of Christ (the "4000 winters"). The second verse ties Eves apple to Mary, who became the Queen of Heaven, and hails the apple taking the Fall for leading to our redemption, for which we sing a song of thanksgiving to God. Lesson 2: Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 Reader: Jack Grimm People Look East – Philip Dietterich (Besancon Carol Tune) People, look East. The time is near of the crowning of the year.

  • Sacred Music and Female Exemplarity in Late Medieval Britain
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Iconography of Queenship: Sacred Music and Female Exemplarity in Late Medieval Britain A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Gillian Lucinda Gower 2016 © Copyright by Gillian Lucinda Gower 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Iconography of Queenship: Sacred Music and Female Exemplarity in Late Medieval Britain by Gillian Lucinda Gower Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Elizabeth Randell Upton, Chair This dissertation investigates the relational, representative, and most importantly, constitutive functions of sacred music composed on behalf of and at the behest of British queen- consorts during the later Middle Ages. I argue that the sequences, conductus, and motets discussed herein were composed with the express purpose of constituting and reifying normative gender roles for medieval queen-consorts. Although not every paraliturgical work in the English ii repertory may be classified as such, I argue that those works that feature female exemplars— model women who exemplified the traits, behaviors, and beliefs desired by the medieval Christian hegemony—should be reassessed in light of their historical and cultural moments. These liminal works, neither liturgical nor secular in tone, operate similarly to visual icons in order to create vivid images of exemplary women saints or Biblical figures to which queen- consorts were both implicitly as well as explicitly compared. The Iconography of Queenship is organized into four chapters, each of which examines an occasional musical work and seeks to situate it within its own unique historical moment. In addition, each chapter poses a specific historiographical problem and seeks to answer it through an analysis of the occasional work.

    January 8, 2012 First Sunday after Epiphany Baptism of the Lord 10:45 a.m. Please enter the sanctuary and prepare for worship in silence. In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:1-2) The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over mighty waters. (Psalm 29:3) And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart And the Spirit descending like a dove on him. (Mark 1:10) On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them… (Acts 19:6-7) GATHERING Prelude Please sign the attendance pad at the end of the pew and pass it down the row.

    A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols December 2020 St. John Neumann Catholic Church 9000 Warfield Road Gaithersburg, Maryland PRELUDE: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel arr. Brian Childers PROCESSIONAL HYMN: Once in Royal David’s City IRBY Once in royal David's city And through all His wondrous childhood Stood a lowly cattle shed, He would honor and obey, Where a mother laid her Baby Love and watch the lowly maiden, In a manger for His bed: In whose gentle arms He lay: Mary was that mother mild, Christian children all should be Jesus Christ her little Child. Kind, obedient, good as He. He came down to earth from heaven, For he is our childhood's pattern; Who is God and Lord of all, Day by day, like us He grew; And His shelter was a stable, He was little, weak and helpless, And His cradle was a stall; Tears and smiles like us He knew; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, And He feels for all our sadness, Lived on earth our Savior holy. And He shares in all our gladness. And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love; For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above, And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone. OPENING PRAYER Priest: In the Name of the Father a and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. All: Amen. Priest: The grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

  • 'Adam Lay Ybounden': a Marian Felix Culpa
    AUC THEOLOGICA 2020 – Vol. 10, No. 2 Pag. 123–139 ‘ADAM LAY YBOUNDEN’: A MARIAN FELIX CULPA FRANK G. BOSMAN ABSTRACT The 15th-century poem ‘Adam lay ybounden’ presents a ‘folk version’ of the paradoxical theology of the notion of felix culpa, Adam’s ‘happy fault’ by which the Incarnation of God in Jesus of Nazareth was unintentionally provoked. The poem is simple in its vocabulary, but elaborate in its invocation of theological notions such as the descensus Christi as inferos, the felix culpa and the necessarium Adae peccatum, both from the Easter prayer of the ‘Exsultet’, focussing on the role of Mary within the economy of salvation rather than on Christ’s. While having been researched only fragmentarily in the past, in this article, the theological content of this poem is analysed integrally for the first time. Keywords: Adam lay ybounden; Middle-English poetry; Mariology; Felix culpa; Descensus Christi ad inferos; Forbidden fruit; Primordial sin DOI: 10.14712/23363398.2020.62 Blessed be the time that the apple was taken therefore we may sing: thanks to the Lord. In a unique manuscript, Sloane 2593, held by the British Library, a curious little poem from the beginning of the 15th century has been preserved. The poem is known from its first thee words as ‘Adam lay ibowndyn’, or in a slightly modernised spelling, as ‘Adam lay ybounden’. The poem, crammed in between rather vulgar songs about © 2020 The Author.
