It was a lover and his lass and Nunc dimittis

It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o'er the green cornfield did pass
In springtime, the only pretty ringtime,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding,
Sweet lovers love the spring.
Between the acres of the rye,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
These pretty country folks would lie
In springtime, etc.
This carol they began that hour,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
How that a life was but a flower
In springtime, etc.
And therefore take the present time,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
For love is crowned with the prime
In springtime, etc.

The music is by Thomas Morley. Text by William Shakespeare. Play: "As You like it"

Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace:
Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum
Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum:
Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.

English (Douay-Rheims, 1582):
Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace;
Because my eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all peoples:
A light to the revelation of the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.

English (Book of Common Prayer, 1662):
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace : according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen : thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared : before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles : and to be the glory of thy people Israel.

English (New International Version, 1973):
Lord, now you let your servant depart in peace according to your word.
For my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared before the face of all people,
a light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of your people Israel.

Wo hast Du denn das Video gefunden? MCMLXXIX = 1979? Besonders der Sopran im Abspann klingt gut. Danke Dir!

[Jairdan]

@Surrexit1

Der Sopran im Abspann ist derselbe Sänger wie im ersten Part (1 Solo: Paul Phoenix) Ich habe beide Videos gesucht und gefunden..., weil ich wusste, dass sie existieren...War quasi eine 'Anfrage'...Aber Part I ist super schlechte Qualität gewesen und ich musste viel formatieren etc..Sieht nicht so schön aus..., daher habe ich es sepia Farben gemacht...Sieht jetzt 'gewollter' verpixelt aus...
