Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Ecclesiastical Review, Vol. 24: A Monthly Publication for the Clergy As the Roman breviary has no special hymns for this Feast, it may prove interesting to reproduce, with versified translations into English, some of the efforts of the French breviaries to celebrate in metrical fashion the lessons it conveys. The hymns we have chosen for this purpose are (1) Lapsus est annus, from the Meaux breviary, 1713, where it is assigned to Compline (December 31st); (2) Felix dies quam proprio, contributed by the Abbe Besnault to the Paris breviary, 1736, and assigned to Matins (January 1st). In the translation of the Lapsus est annus, an attempt is made to imitate the rhythmic character of the original sapphic stanzas. English phraseology can scarce be tortured, however, into anything like a real copy of sapphic measures. All that a translator may hope to achieve in this line is the preservation of the exact number of syllables in the verse, and the adoption of a rhythm which is not, indeed, the proper rhythm of the sapphic stanza, but which happens to be the rhythm in which even Latin sapphics are, in despite of their clear quantitative indications, erroneously and almost universally recited. The plain chant melody of the Iste confessor illustrates the rhythm referred to. To its melody might be sung the translation given here, of the Lapsus est annus. The other hymn, Felix dies quam proprio, is reproduced in metre; as far, that is to say, as accent may reproduce quantity.
