Pauperisque verum subsidium,
Tu es pura luna iusticie,
Tu genitrix gracie, peccatorum vite refugium,
Egrotancium solabile solacium.
Nobis post obitum,
Post istius seculi vite vilis transitum,
Per graciam, non per meritum,
Ducas nos ad patrem et filium

[AndreaSPitaim]

I need lead sheets for Salve Porta Regni Glorie and for Ave Gloriosa/Salve Virgo Regia, the first and fourth in this recording. Can someone help me to find or buy them?

Thank you in advance.

Este video ilustra la grandeza sin parangón de aquella civilización medieval tan injustamente vilipendiada. Hay que agradecer al autor por su acertada combinación de imágenes y audio. ¡El efecto es maravilloso!
