Nicolas Qigault (1625*1707)
Pange lingua dolorosa: Plainsong in alternation with organ verses
Pange lingua dolorosa
Sing my tongue, the mystery of the glorious Body,
And of the precious blood, which the King of all nations,
The fruit of the womb, poured forth as ransom for the world.
Recit de Nazard
Nobis datus, nobis natus
Given to us, born for us of a stainless Virgin,
He abided on earth; the seed of the word having been sown,
He concluded His earthly sojourn in a wondrous way.
Plein Jeu a 4 parties
Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Let us therefore, bowing low, venerate so great a Sacrament;
And let the old law give way to the new:
Let faith afford assistance to the deficiency of the senses.
Fugue a 4 parties
Gentori, Genitoque
To the only begotten let there be praise and jubilation.
Salvation and honor, and power and blessing;
And to the One proceeding from both, let there be equal praise.
Henry Purcell (1659*1695)
Oh, Sing unto the Lord
Symphony
O, Sing unto the Lord
Chorus O sing unto the Lord a new song . Alleluia.
Sing unto the Lord all the whole earth. Alleluia.
Verse Sing unto the Lord and praise His Name;
Be telling of His salvation from day to day
Declare His honor unto the heathen,
Chorus And His wonders to all people.
Glory and worship are before Him,
Power and honor are in His sanctuary.
Chorus The Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised;
He is more to be feared than all gods.
They are but idols, but it is He that made the heavens
