(Latin text)
O salutaris hostia
quae caeli pandis ostium,
bella premunt hostilia:
da robur, fer auxilium
Uni trinoque Domino
sit sempiterna gloria,
qui vitam sine termino
nobis donet in patria.

(English translation)
O saving victim
who open the gate of heaven,
hostile wars press on us:
give strength, bring aid.
To the Lord, three in one,
be everlasting glory,
for life without end
he gives us in (his) Kingdom.

I remember listening to this when I was little. My mom would be making breakfast and playing this music while I would just sit and watch.

I hate it how people my age have no respect for music like this. They make fun of it because they don't appreciate the beauty of these pieces.

I prefer this kind of music over everything on the radio today... it brings back such good memories.

I'm 15, and I was given this CD for Christmas, it's bloody great!

[ScaredHare]

I cannot understand how someone could not like this wonderful piece of music.

I've only just discovered this and not yet sure how I feel about it! I find the harsher tones of the sax in this context a bit jarring, but when he plays softly, it's pure magic. However, I appreciate Garbarek has to change the tones for the sake of 'colour' and when you think about it, a C15th crumhorn would sound pretty similar! This really does need to be listened to on very good equipment/headphones, not just on a desktop computer! (Note to self - buy some good headphones, then this CD!)

Música belíssima para um Mundo celestial. Obrigado

This music was made in heaven for mere mortals to listen in amazement as what could be waiting for us - I say that and Im an agnostic. But such beautiful music is a joy to hear and I say that as an old school wrinkly hard rock and die-hard blues man

I feel peace now...

"Ale my wiemy, ze nom nic tak ducha nie krzepi, jako muzyka, jako śpiyw. Niekze teroz ponad nami popłynie duch pod postaciom muzyki, a my se na tej muzyce siednijmy i razym z tom muzykom podnieśmy nase myśli ku niebu." (ks. J. Tischner)

O Salutaris Hostia

Quae caeli pandis ostium:

Bella premunt hostilia,

Da robur, fer auxilium.

Uni trinoque Domino

Sit sempiterna gloria,

Qui vitam sine termino

Nobis donet in patria.

Amen.
