Excellent video, dear Dominicans. A joyous Easter to you all.

One of Easter's greatest hits, beautifully sung, and adorned.

It is September 6th and I can't wait to hear this come Easter!

Great! But wrong translation!

I have been asked to sing this for the Easter vigil, and am looking for how it should sound. This is beautiful, and I will do my best to imitate it.

I think that as a croatian you are simply jealous to hear the exultet sung beautifully in english because glagolitic and latin chant has been repressed, but as long as the melodies are traditional and accurate adaptations with correct translation there is no true superiority of language. This itself would be a heresy to put any language above another is not orthodox christian tradition.

Thank you for a very moving, joyfully sung Exultet - a wonderful Easter Proclamation.

Now listen here ignorant pigs. It is sung in English because our Lord spoke English. That to me seems evident.

Also, you never heard this version before? That is because the Lord spites thee. He looketh upon thee and remembers that he died for thee, and frankly realises he's been wasting his time.

Hmm! Never heard this version before! Thanks!
