  • This is a Chant piece sung before Mass on the 1st Sunday of Advent (in some places). It tells us where Gregorian Chant came from, and how highly recommended it is :)

    Sanctissimus namque Gregorius
    cuм preces effunderet ad Dominum
    ut musicuм bonum ei desuper
    in carminibus dedisset.
    Tunc descendit Spiritus Sanctus super eum
    in specie columbae
    et illustravit cor eius,
    et...
    sic demum exorsus est canere
    ita dicendo:

    Ad te levavi animam meam:
    Deus meus in te confido, non erubescam:
    neque irrideant me inimici mei:
    etenim universi
    qui te exspectant, non confundentur.

    V. Vias tuas, Domine demonstra mihi:
    R. et semitas tuas edoce me.


    Translation:

    Once, the most holy Gregory
    was pouring out prayers to the Lord
    that he might be given
    good music in song from on high.
    Then the Holy Ghost descended on him
    in the form of a dove,
    and enlightened his heart,
    and...
    at length, he was moved to sing
    saying thus:

    To Thee, have I lifted up my soul:
    My God, in thee have I hoped, I will not be put to shame:
    Neither will my enemies laugh at me:
    For all those
    who hope in Thee, shall not be confounded.

    V. Thou hast shown me thy ways, O Lord:
    R. and have taught me thy paths.
    Want to say "thank you"?

  • I don't think many people get to actually hear this so here is the chant piece plus the Introit:

    1st Sunday of Advent

    I will only leave it up for a couple of days.
