  • Fr. Abel Periyappuram, CMI: Creator of a Syriac Music Genre in Malayalam
    1 Fr. Abel Periyappuram, CMI: Creator of a Syriac Music Genre in Malayalam Joseph J. Palackal, CMI Christian Musicological Society of India Abstract: Fr. Abel Periyappuaram (1920-2001), a CMI priest, who received no formal training in music during his formative years, became a pivotal figure in Kerala's cultural history and Christian music history of India. Fr. Abel's innate musicality came alive when Cardinal Joseph Parecattil (1912-1987) commissioned him to create a Malayalam version of the funeral services and the Hudra, the book of canonical prayers in Syriac. The commission came along with a mission to retain the Syriac melodies that were already in use among the Syro Malabar Catholics. It also meant that the translated text should be viable to the original Syriac melody. Fr. Abel relied on a liberal approach in representing the source text but took extreme care to make the target text pleasantly singable. As a result, a new genre of old Syriac melodies with Malayalam text became an integral part of the Syro Malabar Catholics' religious experience. This presentation focuses on an analytical study of Fr. Abel's music leadership in enriching the cultural confluence in Kerala and reconnecting India to the source of Christianity in West Asia. A time travel to the Ernakulam of 1965. Let us travel back in time to Ernakulam, a bustling commercial town in Kerala, India, in 1965. That is where Fr. Abel rediscovered himself as a lyricist, poet, art-promoter, organizer, and administrator. Fr. Abel arrived at Ernakulam after a teaching career at St. Joseph's College, Devagiri in Calicut.

I am very grateful to you for your visit today; it is indeed with great joy that I address my affectionate greeting to all of you who, together with Cardinal Joseph Parecattil, Archbishop of Ernakulam and President of the Pontifical Commission for the Revision of the Eastern Code of Canon Law, have come from different parts of India for this ad limina visit and for your collegial meeting. 2. In you I sense the presence here of the whole Syro-Malabar Church, this Eastern and authentically Indian Church which for centuries has been a marvel of Christian witness in fidelity to its primitive faith and to its legitimate traditions. And hence my greeting goes today to your entire Church: to the priests, to the men and women Religious, to the members of Secular institutes, to the young, to the old, to the fathers and mothers of families, to the workers, to the children and to all the faithful, especially those who are in sickness and in pain. My greeting and good wishes go also to the faithful and Pastors of the other Churches who live alongside of you in the different parts of Kerala and in the rest of India, as well as to the brethren of the Christian communities which are not yet in full communion with us. They go likewise to all the members of the non-Christian religions.
