Walton-Magnificat-Chichester Service / The Advent Choir

Eternal Father, op 135, no 2 -- Charles Villiers Stanford (1852–1924) / The Advent Choir / Jeremy Bruns, conductor /

Eternal Father, who didst all create, in whom we live and to whose bosom move, to all men be thy name known which is Love, till its loud praises sound at heaven’s high gate.

Perfect thy kingdom in our passing state, that here on earth thou mayst as well approve our service as thou ownest theirs above whose joy we echo and in pain await.

Grant body and soul each day their daily bread: and should in spite of grace fresh woe begin, even as our anger soon is past and dead, be thy remembrance mortal of our sin:

By thee in paths of peace thy sheep be led, and in the vale of terror comforted.

[Sonnet no 69 from The Growth of Love, Robert Bridges (1844–1930)]

A Hymn to the Virgin -- Benjamin Britten (1913–1976) / The Advent Choir / Jeremy Bruns, conductor /

Of one that is so fair and bright, velut maris stella,  [like a star of the sea] Brighter than the day is light, parens et puella.  [mother and maiden] I cry to thee, thou see to me, Lady, pray thy Son for me, Tam pia,  [thou Holy One] That I may come to thee. Maria!  [Mary]
All this world was forlorn Eva peccatrice,  [through Eve, the sinner] Till our Lord was yborn de te genetrice.  [of thee, the mother] With ‘Ave’ it went away darkest night, and comes the day salutis;  [of salvation] The well springeth out of thee virtutis.  [of virtue]
Lady, ﬂower of everything, rosa sine spina,  [rose without a thorn] Thou bare Jesu, heaven’s King, gratia divina:  [by divine grace] Of all that bear’st the prize, Lady, queen of paradise, Electa:  [chosen one] Maid mild, mother es effecta.  [thou art proved]
(Anonymous, c1300)
