Answer 1

Hey Nana Knight,

Here is part of it, you can read the rest at the site below.

Here you go:

Take him, earth, for cherishing

Herbert Howells (1892-1983)

The motet is dedicated ‘To the honoured memory of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, President of the United States of America’ and Herbert Howells himself wrote:

‘Within the year following the tragic death of President Kennedy in Texas plans were made for a dual American-Canadian Memorial Service to be held in Washington. I was asked to compose an a capella work for the commemoration. The text was mine to choose, biblical or other. Choice was settled when I recalled a poem by Prudentius (AD. 348-413). I had already set it in its medieval Latin, years earlier, as a study for Hymnus Paradisi. But now I used none of that unpublished setting. Instead, I turned to Helen Waddell’s faultless translation:

Take him, Earth, for cherishing,
To thy tender breast receive him.
Body of a man I bring thee,
Noble even in its ruin.
