Stroope

I like his music because it has absolutely great harmonies.


Magnificat
The Biblical record of the acceptance speech that Mary gave to Gabriel on hearing that she would be the woman chosen to bear the Incarnate Christ

I Vow To thee/Homeland
A version of the Hymn I vow to thee my country. Although the music is Holst, the setting is Stroope Almost right away you can hear his dynamic use of harmony, particularly in the lower registers.

Dies Irae
The Dies Irae is a Latin prayer in the form of a poem. It deals with the theme of Judgement, and forms part of the extra liturgy added to the Mass to convert the Mass into a Requiem. Requiem Mass are performed as Feasts for The Dead. The Dies Irae is the second portion of text in the Requiem Mass Liturgy, right after the Introit

Some of his music is an aquired taste though

The Conversion of Saul
The question is put to the Pharasee by the Ressurected Christ, as to why Saul is hunting Christians and persecuting them. It would be the start of a dramatic conversion and the birth of the most prolific new testament contributor under GOD.

The Lament of Jeremiah
Jeremiah was the unfortunate prophet that had to tell the Nation of Israel that GODs patience was swiftly running out. When the Nation of Israel ignored him GOD brought the distruction of the Temple. Unfortunately, as much as Jeremiah understood GODs reasoning, he loved the Temple very much indeed, and it distressed him most terrible to be alive to view its fate. The music is one of the most pleasent durges ever written.

Some of my Favourite Libera Tracks

Voca Me, is a tune for Passiontide and the Crucifixition of Christ at the Festival of Easter.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMH5xy9gWxQ

As secret as a dream you called
as silent as the night for all you cried
lacrymosa (Sadness)

lacrymosa, (sadness) dies illa, (day of tears/sadness/mourning) dollorosa Domine (Lord of the way/stations of the Cross)
Voca Me (Call/speak to me)

you whispered in my silent sleep
you answer to my call when lost I cry
Lacrymosa (Sadness)

Be Still My Soul- A Hymn for The Kingdom Season that focuses on The Feasts of the Dead, specifically Remembrance Sunday when we recall the lives lost at war.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omlBeCGLFG4

1. Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

2. Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

3. Be still, my soul, though dearest friends depart
And all is darkened in the vale of tears;
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears.
Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repay
From His own fulness all He takes away.

4. Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Do Not Stand at my Grave and Weep- a Funerial Poem set to music

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ8EGg-0lYc

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow, I am sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain.

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. When you awake in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the soft starlight at night.

do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there.
I do not sleep.

Te Lucis Ante Terminum (Before the ending of the day) Is my absolute Favourite, its based on the Office Hymn of Evening Prayers (The Monastic Office of Vespers) It asks for Protection during the night in much the same way as the Collect "Lighten the darkness we beseech Thee, O Lord, and by thy Great Mercy, Defend Us from all perils and dangers of this Night, for the Love of thy Only Son, Our Saviour, Jesus Christ"
