My arrangement for solo cello (all tracks)

Wondrous Future (Прекрасное далеко)

Responsory for the first Nocturn at Matins on Christmas Eve, found in a manuscript from the Abbaye de Fleury, dated c. 1170. Sheet music can be found at http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/2013/12/reno-erat-rudolphus/ 

The full text reads:

Reno erat Rudolphus
Nasum rubrum habebat; 
Si quando hunc videbas, 
Hunc candere tu dicas. 

Omnes tarandri alii 
Semper hunc deridebant; 
Cum misero Rudolpho 
In ludis non ludebant. 

V. Sanctus Nicholas dixit
Nocte nebulae, 
“Rudolphe, naso claro 
Nonne carum tu duces?” 

Tum renores clamabant, 
“Rudolphe, delectus es? 
Cum naso rubro claro 
Historia descendes!” 

Alleluia.

Reno erat Rudolphus

J.S. Bach - Suite For Solo Cello No. 1 In G Major - Prelude

Just uncovered! A Juilliard undergraduate recording that is very much worth a listen. Enjoy. More information on the recording and current work of musicians available upon request.
