The hymn tunes can be old folk songs adopted and adapted for church use, utilising new texts to suit their new purpose or they might be melodies from popular music, oratorios or other quasi-religious works.

A further sub-set comprises those tunes composed afresh with a particular text in mind. All of these melodies, in turn, may be arranged and harmonised, for whatever forces are available, by anybody from a keen amateur, the local choirmaster and collegiate choral specialists to the very greatest of composers. The arrangements as sung by the Huddersfield Choral Society range from the simplest of unison verses with organ accompaniment to sophisticated multi-part writing with descants, full organ, brass and timpani.

As ever, the descants, those spine-tingling, high soprano parts that are set high above the rest of the choir, are kept for special moments in numbers such as Now thank we all our God , and Lord, for the years. These soaring counter-melodies, while reflecting the style of the hymn tune, flavour the final verses with greater musical interest and help create tensions that drive the music of an increasingly complex hymn tune arrangement to a satisfying and thrilling close.

Counter-melodies emanating from the brass section bring a truly impressive grandeur to Jesus Christ is risen today , in which the final verse is made resplendent with full organ, timpani and flourish after flourish from the trumpets. No better expression of the joy engendered by a goodly number of voices singing these hymns may be found than in the grand forces of the Huddersfield Choral Society.

Their range covers an unaffected, pure lyricism through to a vast, full-throated sound that might shake the rafters of the sturdiest church. Don't show me this message again. The Hymns Album, Vol.

Either you are charmed by what he is doing or not. The translation is quite old and rhyming poetry has lost its appeal for many people. But, as we shall see, there is a good alternative translation for those who dislike Taylor. As mentioned above, there are eighty-seven hymns. The original Taylor edition lists eighty-six hymns.

This numbering problem in the Taylor translation has been revised in the Prometheus Trust publication entitled Hymns and Initiations , Thomas Taylor Series V, which includes all of Taylor's translations of the hymns with the correct numbering. The online versions that this author has encountered retain the older numbering. The text in the download below uses the traditional numbering not the numbering. Explanation of the download for the hymns.

This presentation of the Orphic hymns differs from others in several respects. First, the Taylor translation is presented with each poem on a page of its own, making it possible to print out all the hymns and remove only those required for any particular ritual.

The couplets have been kept separate as in the original book. The ancient Greek is included after each hymn. This book does not give any information concerning the manuscript used.

It seems to be the same manuscript used by Gottfried Hermann in his well-known collection of Orphica. There are differences between this text and that found in the first edition of Athanassakis, but, altogether, they are not terribly significant; for instance, the Athanassakis manuscript does not generally use iota subscript, where our text does.

Lastly, an index has been added at the end, to enable individuals to find the hymns more easily, since they are not in alphabetical order. The Athanassakis translation:.

The Apostolos N. Athanassakis translation of the hymns is preferred by many. Word for word, the Athanassakis is more accurate. The book includes the Greek on the left side, the English text on the right. For many years, the translation was out of print and the cost of used copies exorbitant, but fortunately, it has been re-published in by John Hopkins University Press at a reasonable price in both paperback and hardcover.

This new edition now lists Benjamin M. Wolkow as co-writer with Professor Athanassakis and includes a useful contents list, a comprehensive index, and far more extensive notes and commentary than the earlier publication, altogether an impressive new presentation.

Unfortunately, the new edition does not include the text of the hymns in ancient Greek, unlike the first edition. The ancient Greek text is available online It is most illuminating to compare the Athanassakis translation with the Taylor and also with the original Greek. There is no contents page in most editions of the hymns, making it difficult to find the hymns you need.
