The "Salve Regina" is the famous prayer "Hail, holy Queen" which is commonly prayed at the end of the Holy Rosary and is traditionally sung after Compline from Saturday before Trinity Sunday until the Friday before the first Sunday of Advent. It is attributed to Bl. Hermannus Contractus (aka Hermann of Reichenau) in the 11th century, but in its current form comes from the great Abbey of Cluny in the 12th century.

Salve Regina Solemn tone - Gregorian Chant

The "Ave Regina Caelorum" is one of four Marian antiphons sung at the end of Compline during different seasons of the year. The "Ave Regina" is sung from compline of February 2 until compline of Wednesday in Holy Week. While the author remains anonymous, it appears as early as the 12th century.

Alma Redemptoris Mater (simple tone) - Gregorian Chant

This is the famous prayer to St Michael the Archangel, sung in Latin plainchant. The text was composed by Pope Leo XIII in the 19th century, while the melody seems to be composed by the Benedictine monks of Our Lady of Guadalupe monastery in New Mexico. The harmony is by my good friends, Harpa Dei.

St Michael the Archangel Chant

O Ignis Spiritus Paracliti is a sequence chant to the Holy Ghost composed by St Hildegard of Bingen, an 12th century German mystic, Benedictine abbess, and Doctor of the Church. Since she was German, I have adopted the germanic pronunciation of Latin for this song, rather than the Italian. May the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of Truth, Love and Consolation, fill all of your hearts with His love, and renew the face of the earth.

Puer Natus in Bethlehem

12th-century chant attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153)
The original has 42-53 stanzas depending on the manuscript, used for the Office of the Holy Name.

Jesu, dulcis memoria,
dans vera cordis gaudia:
sed super mel et omnia
ejus dulcis praesentia.

Nil canitur suavius,
nil auditur jucundius,
nil cogitatur dulcius,
quam Jesus Dei Filius.

Jesu, spes paenitentibus,
quam pius es petentibus!
quam bonus te quaerentibus!
sed quid invenientibus?

Nec lingua valet dicere,
nec littera exprimere:
expertus potest credere,
quid sit Jesum diligere.

Sis, Jesu, nostrum gaudium,
qui es futurum praemium:
sit nostra in te gloria,
per cuncta semper saecula.
Amen.

Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills the breast!
Yet sweeter far Thy face to see
And in Thy Presence rest.

No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find,
A sweeter sound than Jesus' Name,
The Saviour of mankind.

O hope of every contrite heart!
O joy of all the meek!
To those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!

But what to those who find? Ah! this
Nor tongue nor pen can show
The love of Jesus, what it is,
None but His loved ones know.

Jesus! our only hope be Thou,
As Thou our prize shalt be;
In Thee be all our glory now,
And through eternity. Amen.

It is with high artistic energy that The Australian Voices (TAV) commission and perform the work of Australian composers. 2018 commissions include Lachlan Skipworth, Lisa Young, Alice Chance, Joe Twist and Gordon Hamilton.

Recently TAV has recorded new works intended for “performance” on YouTube. Hamilton’s composition The 9 Cutest Things That Ever Happened (2013) has been viewed over one million times. In 2014 they made international headlines with a video of Rob Davidson’s Not Now, Not Ever! (2014), a musicalisation of Julia Gillard’s ‘misogyny’ speech.

Their album for Warner Classics (2012) was observed by Gramophone Magazine to "boast a crisp, resonant delivery of the sonic goods under Hamilton's confident direction." In 2013 they released an songbook with Edition Peters and in 2016 an album for ABC Classics.

Recently the group has brought their distinctly Australian sound to audiences in Guatemala, Mexico, China, the UK, Germany, New Caledonia, USA, Palestine, Woodford Folk Festival and Hobart Festival of Voices.
