At its core is a remarkable and little known repertory of chants which were specially composed for singing at the Divine Office on their respective feastdays. They survive today in manuscripts preserved in libraries all over Europe. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The project aims to encourage interest in this neglected aspect of Ireland's international heritage by preparing scores and recordings of all of chants, making them available online and as digital apps, linking the material to the lives of the saints concerned, and to the foundations and present-day sites with which they were, and often still are, associated. While aimed at a broad public, it will have particular relevance for those involved in education at all levels, especially programmes linked to music, liturgy, and Irish cultural studies.</span></p>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Note on the term</span>: In liturgical practice the term <em>historia</em> refers to the Divine Office composed for a special feastday (usually but not exclusively) to honour a patron saint. The texts of the chants and readings combined stories from the saint’s life (birth, miracles, human qualities, death) with songs of praise and prayers for protection and for intercession with God and the Virgin Mary. </span></p>2017-04-28T12:39:43ZWriting Irishtag:thewildgeese.irish,2014-12-28:6442157:Group:1355342014-12-28T20:46:42.495ZJohn W.

<p>But from the voyages of St. Brendan, through the exile of the earls, to the many waves of emigration, up to today’s globetrotting expats and tourists, the penchant for the Irish to want to see the world beyond is well known. Heck, Van Morrison even wrote song about it.</p>
<p>With that in mind, we begin.</p>
<p><strong>The Wild Geese Global Irish Travel</strong> group aims to provide a vehicle for members to share their wisdom and experiences by posting destination articles, reviews, and travel tips. In time, with the cooperation of industry partners, we envision setting up tours and discounts to Ireland and/or other sites of Irish interest.</p>
<p>So, if you’re the kind of Irish man or woman who’s always got a bag packed for the next adventure, come join us! <em>The boarding gate is open.</em></p>2023-09-30T05:18:23ZThe Wild Geese Irish Heritage Partnershiptag:thewildgeese.irish,2014-07-21:6442157:Group:1063772014-07-21T23:00:21.315ZThe Wild Geesehttps://thewildgeese.irish/profile/TheWildGeese
