Name: Lully, Lulla, Lullay - Philip Stopford by Roots in the Sky
Duration: 4 min
Description: Recorded in Holy Rosary of Bozeman, MT December 12, 2014.

Performance of the Gregorian Salve Regina coupled with Josquin DesPres's cantus firmus motet in my own performance edition. 

The motet is a marvel of musical craftsmanship: not only does it utilize the Gregorian chant in its entirety in the Alto voice, but its structure is a strict double canon throughout: Soprano/Alto sing one strict canon; Tenor/Bass sing a different strict canon. Performed by Voces Novae et Antiquae under my direction May 16, 2004, in Philadelphia, PA.

The performing edition is also available from me directly: <info@robertamross.com>

Background from Wikipedia:

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 Roman Catholic Church. The *Salve Regina* is traditionally sung at Compline in the time from the Saturday before Trinity Sunday until the Friday before the first Sunday of Advent. "Hail Holy Queen" is also the final prayer of the Rosary.

The work was composed during the Middle Ages by German monk Hermann of Reichenau and originally appeared in Latin, the prevalent language of Western Christianity until modern times.

(Premier pars:)
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiæ,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevæ,
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos
misericordes oculos ad nos converte;

(Secunda pars:)
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
hail our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Ave Maria (Gregorian Chant)

(I begin on G and end on E, as written. However, I interpret the syllable placement at the ends of phrases slightly differently.)
.
The Apostles' Creed is the one recited at the beginning of the Rosary, *not* the Nicene Creed normally used during Mass (however, the Apostles' Creed is sometimes used at Mass during Lent/Easter). This prayer is also called "The Symbol of the Apostles" - in Latin, "Symbolum Apostolorum" or "Symbolum Apostolicum."

Latin text: 

Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem, Creatorem caeli et terrae,
  et in Iesum Christum, Filium Eius unicum, Dominum nostrum,
  qui conceptus est de Spiritu Sancto, natus ex Maria Virgine,
  passus sub Pontio Pilato, crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus,
  descendit ad infernos, tertia die resurrexit a mortuis,
  ascendit ad caelos, sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis,
  inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos.
Credo in Spiritum Sanctum,
  sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam, sanctorum communionem,
  remissionem peccatorum,
  carnis resurrectionem,
  vitam aeternam.
Amen.

English text:

I believe in God,
the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
He descended into hell;
on the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church,
the communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.

Apostles' Creed in Latin - Gregorian chant (Credo in Deum)

Veni Veni Emmanuel

Veni Creator Spiritus

Salve, regina, mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Evae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos
ad nos converte.
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis virgo Maria.


Salve, reina, madre de misericordia,
Vida, dulzura y esperanza nuestra, salve.
A ti clamamos, exiliados hijos de Eva.
A ti suspiramos, gimiendo y llorando
en este valle de lágrimas.
Ea pues,  abogada nuestra,
esos, tus ojos misericordiosos, vuelve a nosotros.
Y a Jesús, bendito fruto de tu vientre,
muéstranos, después de este exilio.
Oh clemente, oh piadosa, oh dulce virgen María.
