Dear David:

Which chapel? There are several chapels in the Contemplation Chapel.

If you mean the "angelic" music on the Gate Page, I have no idea what it is or even where it came from. But, it sounds angelic and perfect for the Chapel.

For the Blessed Mary, Our Mother, I Love You Chapel is a rendition of Ave Maria.

For the Nearer My God to Thee Chapel is the hymn by the same name which was reported to have been played by the Titanic orchestra as they sank to their deaths.

For the Seek Ye First Chapel is the instrumental of the song "Seek Ye First".

For the Consecration to the Holy Family Chapel I think is the Andrew Lloyd Webber song, "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera.

For the Faith, Hope, and Love Chapel is Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D major.

For the My Angel's Lap Chapel (which is a story about an experience I had with my Guardian Angel) is the instrumental Eleanor Plunkett, and old Irish tune.

Information about Eleanor Plunkett and the song comes from the website of Turlough O'Carolan, a 18th Century harpist:

Eleanor Plunkett of Robertstown, County Meath, is said to have been the last survivor of her family. She was probably related to the Christopher Plunkett who appears in the 1655 Civil Survey of County Meath as an "Irish papist", and proprietor on the premise of "an old castle (Castlecome)". According to stories, 30 members of the family shut themselves up in the castle of Castlecome and were "destroyed by boiling water" (O'Sullivan, Vol 2, p. 95). O'Sullivan believes this is probably an exaggerated story from an unpulished deposition of 1641. However, it is likely she was the sole survivor of the family as the first two lines of the song state, "Though there survives in this land Only you of your kindred."

When Carolan was composing the song for Eleanor Plunkett her coachman interrupted him, remarking he had heard many of the words in other songs. Carolan was more than irritated by the words and picked up his staff, threatening the coachman with it and replying "Neither you nor any other person will ever hear more of it but what is already composed!"

God Bless,
