Hello
I run a small words-and-music group ('OpusAnglicanum'). Programmes are not
exclusively mediaeval but include much from the period, both words and
music. Examples include the 'Visitatio Sepulchri' and Peregrinus' dramas
from Orleans 201, a mediation in three hours using Julian of Norwich,
programmes on the Psalms using sermons of Augustine, Chaucer's Canterbury
Pilgrims, Gawain & the Green Knight, and mediaeval carols. I am
constructing a programme for performance in June based on the words of John
Paul I: "He is Father; even more, God is Mother". and am seeking texts which
speak of motherhood. Can anyone point me at specific texts - sermons,
homilies, letters - in English translation which would fit the description?
Music will comprise Marian texts set by William Byrd, in Gregorian chant,
and from the Russian orthodox tradition.
Thanks,
John Rowlands-Pritchard
