Music by Rev. Fr Jacome Gonsalvez
Hymns
Fr. Jacome Gonsalves wrote and translated many hymns. Many of those are still in common use. He introduced a new variety of hymns, or lamentations called Pasan (පසම් / ஒப்பாரி), which are still being sung during Lent. Some of his compositions still serve as Christmas carols. A few of the very popular hymns composed by him are:
දෙවිදු උපන්නේය සතුනි (Devidu Upanneya = Jesus was born)
ත්රී එක සුර ජේසුනේ (Three Eka Sura Jesune)
ආරම්බෙන් පෙර (Aaramben Pera = Before the beginning
