Gregorian Chants & Hymns for Sleep, Study & Solitude  3

The Gregorian Chants of Notre Dame

Alleluia Adorabo

This mystical gregorian melody gives a climpse of what can be found in the core of western spirituality. It is sung in the traditional roman-catholic liturgy, specifically found in the 11th mass music collection, called "orbis factor". "Kyrie eleison" is greek and translates to "God, have mercy". This is my personal heartfelt version of the chant. 

Text & Melody: XI traditional mass "orbis factor"
Arrangement & Vocals: Patrick Lenk

O Filii Et Filiae

Signum Magnum is the title of the Gregorian Chant for the Introit of the Feast of the Assumption of Virgin Mary, in August 15 and was given in 1951. It is similar to Puer Natus, the chant used for the Introit for Christmas Day. Joyous, while observing the solemnity of the feast, Signum Magnum is drawn from the opening of Revelation 12 in Sacred Scripture.

Signum Magnum

"Gloria in excelsis Deo" is a Christian hymn known also as the Greater Doxology, Angelic Hymn or Hymn of the Angels. The name is often abbreviated to Gloria in Excelsis or simply Gloria. The Latin translation is traditionally attributed to Saint Hilary of Poitiers (300–368), who may have learned it while in the East.

Text & Melody: traditional roman catholic mass "missa regia" (messe royal)

Missa Regia Gloria

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.

Hailed by The American Spectator (2020) for his “energetic” leadership and his role in restoring “the Roman Rite in all its solemnity and splendor,” Nick Botkins is an organist and conductor known for his liturgical instinct, expressive improvisation, and deep command of the Church’s musical tradition. He serves as Organist and Choirmaster at the Basilica of Saint John the Evangelist in Stamford, Conn., where he directs the professional Schola and curates a repertoire spanning more than a millennium of sacred music.

In addition to his work at the Basilica, Mr. Botkins serves on the faculty of Cardinal Kung Academy in Fairfield County, where he teaches music theory and directs the Cardinal Kung Academy Schola Cantorum and Boychoir. He is particularly noted for his expertise in Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, and the orchestral Mass tradition.

As an organist, he has performed throughout the United States and Europe, including to enthusiastic audiences at Westminster Cathedral (London), Saint-Eugène (Paris), the National Convention of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (St. Louis), and regional events of the American Guild of Organists. His performances have been broadcast by the Radio Arts Foundation, USA.
