Orphic Hymns Playlist: • Orphic Hymns • The Orphic Hymns are ancient Greek poems that were part of the multi-god worshipping religious practice of Orphism. In 1787, the Orphic Hymns were translated into English by Thomas Taylor. A second edition was published in 1824. There are 87 known Orphic Hymns. • In 2019, I began composing music for the Orphic Hymns. As of the date of this writing, I have composed music for 18 of Taylor's hymns with plans to eventually cover the entire canon. • Lyrics: • Only-begotten, noble race of Jove, • Blessed and fierce, who joyest in caves to rove: • O, warlike Pallas, whose illustrious kind, • Ineffable and effable we find: • Magnanimous and famed, the rocky height, • And groves, and shady mountains thee delight: • In arms rejoicing, who with Furies dire • And wild, the souls of mortals dost inspire. • Gymnastic virgin of terrific mind, • Dire Gorgon's bane, unmarried, blessed, kind: • Mother of arts, impetuous; understood, • Rage to the wicked, wisdom to the good: • Female and male, the arts of war are thine, • Fanatic, much-formed dragoness, divine: • Over the Phlegrean giants, roused to ire, • Thy coursers driving, with destruction dire. • Sprung from the head of Jove, of splendid mien, • Purger of evils, all-victorious queen. • Hear me, O Goddess, when to thee I pray, • With supplicating voice both night and day, • And in my latest hour, give peace and health, • Propitious times, and necessary wealth, • And, ever present, be thy votaries aid, • O, much implored, art's parent, blue-eyed maid.
