arr. Taylor Davis - How Can I Keep from Singing

The "Salve Regina", also known as the "Hail Holy Queen", is a Marian hymn and one of four Marian antiphons sung at different seasons within the Christian liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church. The Salve Regina is traditionally sung at Compline (final prayer of the day). The Hail Holy Queen is also the final prayer of the Rosary. Mystically speaking it is a song to the spiritual force of Purity, which was lost through the sin of man and gives birth to the process of Deification and reintegration with God. In the christian tradition it is personalized as Mary the Virgin and Mother of God. This melody is used by Cistercian Monasteries. who traditionally are greatly connected to Mary in their spirituality. Each monastery is devoted to her, and it's said that it was one of their most promintent Monks, Bernhard of Clairvaux, who added the final line to the Salve Regina, while being in mystical ecstasy.

Chant of the Mystics Vol. 1

Salve Regina (Monastic Tone)

"Pange Lingua" is a Hymn about the mystery of the Eucharist, where God gives himself to the longing people in mystical union. It was written by philosopher and theologian Saint Thomas Aquinas, who contemplated this mystery his whole life and often is depicted having a divine light illuminating his understanding.

Pange Lingua

The "Our Father" or "Lord's Prayer" is found in the New Testament as a guiding line on how to pray. While the major part of the world today uses it to pray to an external God, residing in unknown external spheres, mystics throughout the centuries used it as a spiritual guideline to transform their spiritual being towards the internal and existential union with God: "You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you.” (Lk 17:21), "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in your midst?" (1 Cor 3:16), "But you when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father, the One in secret. And your Father, the One seeing in secret, will reward you." (Mt 6:6). This is the lost key and misunderstanding, that needs to be rediscovered in our times again.

Robert Bode, conductor

Will there really be a "Morning"?
Is there such a thing as "Day"?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like water-lilies?
Has it feathers like a bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?

Oh, some scholar! Oh, some sailor!
Oh, some wise man from the skies!
Please to tell a little pilgrim
Where the place called "Morning" lies!
