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

03. THERE IS NO ROSE

There is no rose of such vertu [virtue]
As is the rose that bare Jesu.
Alleluia, alleluia.

For in this rose conteinèd [contained] was
Heaven and earth in litel space,
Res miranda, res miranda [marvellous things].

By that rose we may well see
There be one God in persons three,
Pares forma, pares forma [equal form],

The angels sungen the shepherds to:
Gloria in excelsis,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gaudeamus, gaudeamus [Let us rejoice].

Leave we all this werldly [worldly] mirth,
And follow we this joyful birth.
Transeamus, transeamus, transeamus [Let us pass over].

Alleluia, res miranda, pares forma, gaudeamus,
Transeamus, transeamus, transeamus.
