The Choir of New College, Oxford, under the direction of Prof. Edward Higginbottom, perform Francis Poulenc's setting of the Christmas text 'O Magnum Mysterium'.

Latin text:

O magnum mysterium,
et admirabile sacramentum,
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum,
jacentem in praesepio!
Beata Virgo, cujus viscera
meruerunt portare
Dominum Christum.
Alleluia.


English translation:

O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord,
lying in a manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear
Christ the Lord.
Alleluia!

  • Dommage que la musique sacrée française du XXe siècle, pourtant si riche, inspirée d une foi authentique ne soit pas plus connue, interprétée, enregistrée et diffusée.
