  • Getting near the time I can listen to wonderful music like this without my wife complaining!

  • It took me years to figure out the title of this and what the lyrics meant. Thanks alot for posting this.

  • Oh, this is just splendid. Thanks for posting!

  • We played this with recorders in school, when I was on 5th grade. My fave recorder song x33!

  • Amazing song!! Centuries old and still striking. Plus Maddy Prior is perfect in this. Thanks for posting!

  • Very nice version on a dance rhythm !

    *****. J.C.

  • Many thanks for translation Laisairfion and frizbe666.

    It is a beautiful anthem, but it always helps to know the meaning of the words!

  • Let the boys' cheerful noise

    Sing today none but joys,

    Praise aloud, clear and proud,

    Praise to him in chorus,

    Giv'n from heaven for us

    Virgin born, born, born,

    Virgin born, born, born,

    Virgin born on that morn,

    Procreated for us.

  • He who rules heaven and earth

    Lies in stall at his birth,

    Humble beasts at his feast

    See the Light eternal

    Vanquish realms infernal:

    Satan's done, done, done,

    Satan's done, done, done,

    Satan's done, God has won,

    Victor, he, supernal.

  • Magi come from afar

    See their sun, tiny one,

    Follow far little star,

    At the crib adoring,

    Man to God restoring,

    Gold and myrrh, myrrh, myrrh,

    Gold and myrrh, myrrh, myrrh,

    Gold and myrth offered there,

    Incense for adoring.

  • Clerk and boy, join in joy,

    Sing as heaven sings for joy,

    God this day here doth stay,

    Pour we forth the story,

    Of his might and glory:

    So to God, God, God,

    So to God, God, God,

    So to God glory be,

    In the highest Glory.

    (Please note that this is not a direct translation as some words in Latin just don't fit the meter in English, and thus some small changes are made e.g. swapping myrrh and frankincense.)

  • "Let the voices of the little boys sing forth today,

    praising ['iucundae' I don't know off hand] him who has been born for us, given by God on high, born of a virgin's womb.

    And then some more Latin, innit? ;-)

  • Can anyone gives us a translation?

  • This is my favorite video of Personent Hodie!
