(a) Alan Gaunt: Hymn Texts and Translations, 1988
A typed booklet, containing 27 of Alan Gaunt's original hymns and 19 of his translations.
(b) The Hymn Texts of Alan Gaunt, Stainer & Bell 1991
Contains all except one of the hymns, and all except one of the translations, in the 1988 booklet, together with 58 more hymns (one of them in two versions) and 11 more translations or paraphrases (two of them being of the same Latin original `O quanta qualia'). Three of the latter are actually versifications of translated Welsh hymns, translated by another writer. When the same hymn appears in both editions, there are numerous instances of the author's revision of the text.
Original tunes by various composers, written specifically for Alan Gaunt's hymns, are printed in full; for the remainder of the hymns, existing tunes are suggested by name. Brief notes by the author are appended to some of the hymns.
Xrefs: all the hymns listed under the 1988 edition, plus
(c) Always from Joy: Hymn Texts 1991-1996; Stainer & Bell 1997
In two parts:
(i) Fifty-six original hymns written during the period mentioned in the title. A few are translations of others' hymns or "based on" or "after" others' writings; several are based explicitly on biblical passages or themes. A few original tunes are included, composed (it appears) for the corresponding texts; the composers are Raymond Clarke, Michael Storr, Doreen (Bunty) Newport, Caryl Micklem, Moira Rose, and Alan Gaunt himself. For the hymns without tunes, an existing tune is suggested in each case.(ii) Thirty-four poems or hymns by Ann Griffiths (d.1805), translated from the original Welsh (sc. by Alan Gaunt). Sixteen of these consist of a single verse. No music is given or suggested; but metres are indicated, implying that the author expects that the English words may or can be sung to hymn tunes. Twenty-four of the thirty-four hymns are in 8.7.8.7.D Trochaic; the rest in various other conventional hymn-tune metres.
An Introduction to Part (i) by Fred Kaan pays tribute to Alan Gaunt's authorship. Part (ii) is prefaced with a brief Introduction by A.M.Allchin (author of Ann Griffiths, The Furnace and the Fountain, Univ.of Wales Press 1987) about Ann Griffiths's life and poetry.

Gelasian Sacramentary, 5th cent.
`Sacramentary' is the name given to a number of books, in use from the 5th century onwards, which contained the prayers and rubrics for the priest's part in the Eucharist. From the 11th century onwards, other parts of the service were combined with those in the Sacramentary to make a complete service book - the Missal; but originally the material in the Sacramentary would have been separate from that in the Lectionary (the appointed Bible readings), the Cantatorium or Gradual (with music for the choir), the Antiphoner (with responses) and other manuals.
The exact contents of a Sacramentary would have varied from place to place, but two main `families' of such books developed in the Western Church through the middle ages. The most widely used was perhaps the Gregorian, attributed to Pope Gregory the Great (c.540-604), though the earliest references to it date from about 790 A.D. However, another Sacramentary is known to have been in use before that date; this was attributed to St Gelasius (Pope, 492-496) - hence the name `Gelasian' - though there is no evidence for the attribution.
The earliest known MS of the Gelasian Sacramentary is preserved in the Vatican, and dates from about the middle of the 8th century; it probably originated in France, and was acquired by the Vatican as part of the Library of Queen Christiana of Sweden. The name `Gelasian', however, is also used for a Sacramentary containing a mixture of Gallican and Gregorian material, of which the earliest surviving example was written about 800 A.D. at St Gall.
Many of the collects in the Book of Common Prayer (from 1549 onwards) are derived from Latin originals in the various `Gelasian Sacramentaries'. These include the Second Collect for Good Friday:
