КИЛМОР КОРИЯ
Колицы Килмор , иногда также известные как колядки Уэксфорда , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] это цикл традиционных ирландских рождественских коров, пел каждый год в церкви Святой Марии в деревне Килмор , графство Уэксфорд , Ирландия. [ 3 ] Всего насчитывая тринадцать, колядки исполняются в течение двенадцати дней Рождества . Говорят, что эта традиция пения Кэрол в Килморе началась в середине 18-го века и продолжалась до 21-го века, составляя уникальную часть Рождества в Ирландии . Согласно журналу музыки , эти колядки являются частью «величайшего тела ирландских народных колядков». [ 4 ] Начиная с конца 20 -го века, несколько отдельных песен из колядков Килмор были записаны в коммерческих условиях .
История
[ редактировать ]Внедрение традиции Кэрол пения в Килморе приписывается о. Питер Деверо, который был приходским священником около 1751 года. [ 3 ] Сами колядки цикла являются местными в этом районе. Традиция назначает авторство всех колядков о. Уильям Деверо , который был приходским священником Пирсетуна с 1730 по 1771 год. [ 5 ] Он собрал колядки в рукописи в качестве коллекции под названием «Новая гирлянда», содержащая песни на Рождество около 1728 года. [ 3 ] [ 5 ] Тем не менее, некоторые из колядков на самом деле могут быть связаны с более ранними авторами. Один из колядков («Иерусалим, мой счастливый дом») был первоначально опубликован анонимно в Англии в 1601 году. [ 6 ] [ 5 ] Три из колядков («Ангел этой ночью», «День Святого Стефана» и «Первый день года») взяты из Гарленда Смейл благочестивых и благочестивых песен епископа Люка Уодинга , коллекции епископа Первоначальная христианская поэзия , на которую находилось большое влияние на его близкое прочтение Ричарда Краузау и других метафизических поэтов , которые первоначально были опубликованы в Генте в 1684 году. Епископ Уодинг, римско -католический священник, произошедший от местного старого английского дворянства, привел и искал восстановить епархию папоротников во время последствий Кромвельского завоевания Ирландии и во время возрожденного религиозного преследования католической церкви в Ирландии во время антикатолических шоу-испытаний, вызванных теориями заговора . , которые сильно влияли на поэзию Уоддинг [3][5] Of the other carols there are no known antecedents, suggesting that at least some were original compositions of Fr. William Devereux himself.[5] The carols were once popular throughout the Barony of Forth, being first sung at the chapel in Kilrane; now, however, they are traditional only at the church in Kilmore.[7] In the other parishes, such as Rathangan where carol singing was noted as late as 1872, the carols were apparently discouraged by Victorian era clergy who wished for greater conformity with the revival of Gregorian chant.[8]
There are thirteen songs in the Kilmore Carols cycle; however, only eight are usually sung during a given Christmas time.[3] The songs are sung in the Yola language.[9] Over time the melodies to some of the songs have been lost, with only six tunes extant. Several of the songs are therefore sung to the same tune, although in recent years some tunes have been reconstructed.[4] The singers consist of six local men, always including a member of the Devereux family, who traditionally divide into two groups of three and sing alternate stanzas.[3] This division, however, has not always been observed.[6]
Beginning in the late 20th century the Kilmore Carols received additional coverage and attention. In 1977 and 1981, the carols were reported on by RTÉ.[10][11] In 1982, Nóirín Ní Riain included some of the carols on her album Darkest Midnight; since then, several carols have been included in other recordings. Of the carols the first, usually titled "The Darkest Midnight in December", has been arranged by several composers such as Stephen Main,[12] Kelly-Marie Murphy,[13] Dave Flynn,[14] James Tanguay,[15] Mark Swinton,[16] and William Whitehead.[17] The carols have become part of the repertoire of Irish traditional singers, such as Paddy Berry.[18] They have also been featured at various concerts. In December 2005, Murphy's setting of the first carol was premiered by Judy Loman and the Toronto Children's Chorus.[19] In 2006, the Kilmore singers themselves performed the carols at Sheffield's "Festival of Village Carols".[20] In 2011, Aoife Clancy, Robbie O'Connell, and Jimmy Keane performed a concert in Unity, Maine which included selections from the carols.[21] Caitriona O'Leary, who had studied the carols extensively, performed them in two concerts, at Drogheda and Dublin, in 2013.[4] She later released an album of the carols, also featuring Tom Jones, Rosanne Cash, and Rhiannon Giddens, in 2014.[22][23] Main's setting of the first carol was featured in the University of Puget Sound's 2015 Winter Concert "The Darkest Midnight in December".[24] Musical quintet Ensemble Ibérica performed selections from the carols at St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Kansas City, Missouri in 2014 and 2016.[25][26][27] In 2019, the Esprit de Choeur women’s choir featured Murphy's setting of the first carol at their concert "The Darkest Midnight in December", held in Winnipeg, Canada.[28]
Songs of the cycle
[edit]In 1949, Fr. Joseph Ranson published the words and surviving music of the Kilmore Carols in The Past, the journal of Wexford's Uí Cinsealaigh Historical Society.[5] An edition of the carols, with transcriptions by Seóirse Bodley, was also prepared by Diarmaid Ó Muirithe in 1982.[29] The titles and first lines given by Ranson were as follows:[5]
