Make we joy now in this fest In quo Christus natus est. Eya!




A Patre Unigenitus
Is through a maiden come to us.
Sing we of him and say 'Welcome!
Veni, Redemptor gencium.' Make we joy now in this fest In quo Christus natus est. Eya!

(Agnoscat omne seculum
A bright star made three kings to come
Him for to seek with their presents,
Verbum supernum prodiens. (Make we joy now in this fest In quo Christus natus est. Eya!

(A solis ortus cardine
So mighty a Lord is none as he,
And to our kind he hath him knit
Adam parens quod polluit. (Make we joy now in this fest In quo Christus natus est. Eya!)

Maria ventre concepit,
The Holy Ghost was aye her with.
Of her in Bethlem born his is,
Consors Paterni luminis. Make we joy now in this fest In quo Christus natus est. Eya!

O Lux beata Trinitas!
He lay between an ox and ass,
Beside his mother-maiden free:
Gloria tibi Domine! Make we joy now in this fest In quo Christus natus est. Eya! (Anonymous, fifteenth century)

Amazing Sounds! Thank you so much for sharing!

@jsingraha They are great, aren't they? Scholarly and fresh - quite a rare combination.

I am far too happy with this. All of my friends shall see this.

Precision sing of the BEST kind....very much in the tradition of Robert Shaw....

Bravo to the Sixteen and their conductor....!!!

This is a very interesting piece. The mixture of voices make it very angelic and yet mysterious at some points... Very nice... And their dynamics are amazing, their tone is full, and the balance is lovely. All in all, very nicely done.
