from their Christmas Album (EMI 2011)
Solo: Daniel Fontannaz
Musical director: Robert Prizeman
From the Gospel of Mark, chapter 13 (King James version):
33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
I intend to make a Libera video for every important day or period on the church calendar. This one is for Advent, the period before Christmas.
We look forward to the coming of Christ in our lives. This is reflected in the pleading singing and the pictures of nature waiting for new life.
A song and a video of longing and hope, and joy - Gaude, rejoice, the Lord is near.
Lyrics (traditional):
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Veni, veni Emmanuel
Captivum solve Israel
Qui genit in exsilio
Privatus Dei Filio.
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.
Veni, O Sapientia
Quae hic disponis omnia
Veni, viam prudentis
Ut doceas et gloriae.
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Thank you for watching & God bless!
Once again Daniel shines, I still like his version of Panis Angelicus best but this is a close second. He has a bright career ahead of him.
