O Sons and Daughters of the glorious King (O filii et filiae)
If you are not familiar with this exquisite Easter hymn, written according to an ancient Gregorian tradition, you will love getting to know it!

Many hymns were written in a ’macaronic’ style – that is that is, sung in two languages, Latin and English for example, but this version contains a compilation not in two different languages but rather a blend between the original words and fresh ones that I have added.

Many thanks to Anthony Thompson (trumpet), Peter Richards (organ) Francis Cummings and Shirley Richards (violins) Christiane Mueller (viola) and Corinne Frost (cello), who join Megan Topper, who sings it beautifully for us.

O Sons and Daughters (O filii et filiae)

The song started with God challenging me to sing at the keyboard one day when praying for a friend who was going through some very difficult things. It's a song that is highly appropriate for anyone going through hard times,  as the Psalmist cries out to the Lord in anguish, declaring God's strength, and that He is our Rock and refuge.
