Benjamin Britten's
A CEREMONY OF CAROLS
Opus 28, for 3-part treble chorus and harp
Sung by the Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge
Harp: Frances Kelly
Conductor: Richard Marlow
1997
11. RECESSION
(text is the same as 01. "Procession")
(Hmm, I got the naming of this video wrong as well. My faulty editing skills.)
Hodie Christus natus est,
Hodie Salvator apparuit,
Hodie in terra canunt angeli;
Lætantur archangeli,
Hodie exsultant justi dicentes:
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
-----------------------------
Today the Christ was born,
Today the Saviour appeared,
Today on earth the angels sing;
The archangels rejoice.
Today the righteous exult, saying:
Glory to God in the highest.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thanks for posting these. The Choir is my favourite in all the world. I was at Trinity College two years ago and experienced a live performance of this work by Britten. I have yet to get this recording, but I was able to obtain one of the one for which I was present.
