O SALUTARIS Hostia               - -  O SAVING Victim opening wide
Quae caeli pandis ostium.       - -  The gate of heaven to all below.
Bella premunt hostilia;            - -  Our foes press on from every side;
Da robur, fer auxilium. 	           - -  Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow. 

Uni trinoque Domino               - -  To Thy great name be endless praise
Sit sempiterna gloria:              - -  Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
Qui vitam sine termino,           - -  Oh, grant us endless length of days,
Nobis donet in patria.              - -  In our true native land with Thee.
Amen. 	                                   - -  Amen.

O Salutaris Hostia - David Pisaro - Corpus Christi 2021 - Ripon Premier

First personal attempt to sing this Mass - meant for a chorus of Baritones - as a lone Cantor. As the bodged page turn and subsequent mini-crash at rehearsal number 23 will attest, we could have done with the skill of a conductor. I look forward to having another try of this epic celebration of Gregorian Chant and the exuberant artistry of Maurice Duruflé. The microphone (a ZOOM 2) was placed near the Font close to the West Doors - quite a distance from the position or performance under the Central Tower.

Videntes stellam 
magi gavisi sunt gaudio magno:
et intrantes domum,

invenerunt puerum, 
cum Maria, matre eius,
et procedentes adoraverunt eum.

Et apertis thesauris suis,
obtulerunt ei munera: 
aurum, thus et myrrham.

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, 
et nunc et semper 
et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Seeing the star, 
the magi rejoiced with great joy;
and entering the house,

they found the boy, 
with Mary, His mother,
and fell down and worshiped Him.

And [when they had] opened their treasures,
they offered Him gifts: 
gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Glory be to the Father and Son and Holy Ghost,
As it was in the beginning, 
is now, and ever shall be,
World without end. Amen.

Live Recording from 9 Lessons and Carols December 24th 2017

Original German/Latin: Heinrich Seuse, 14th century
English poetic translation by Robert Pearsall (1834)

In dulci jubilo*
Now sing with hearts aglow!
Our delight and pleasure lies
in praesepio;
Like sunshine is our treasure
matris in gremio;
Alpha es et O!
Alpha es et O!

O Jesu, parvule,
For thee I sing alway;
Comfort my heart’s blindness,
O puer optime,
with all thy loving kindness,
O princeps gloriae;
Trahe me post te!
Trahe me post te!

Ubi sunt gaudia
in any place but there?
There are angels singing
nova cantica
And there the bells are ringing
in Regis curia.
Oh, that we were there!
Oh, that we were there!
