Holy Holy Holy - Mass of St. Monica

This is one of my all time favorite chants... perhaps even my #1. This is the devotional chant "Rorate Caeli," different and separate from the Introit chant of the same title, but obviously related. According to a Wikipedia article, "In the seventeenth century, [the] Rorate Caeli was arranged into a hymn combining the traditional text with other scriptural passages used in the liturgy for Advent. The earliest known version is in the Oratorian Officia Propria (1673); it also appears in French diocesan rites, such as the Rouen Processional of 1729 and 1763. The text is a collection of excerpts taken from the book of Isaiah (though sometimes given a poetic rendering). When the text speaks of Sion and Jerusalem being desolate and destroyed, we can see this as representative of our own souls, ruined by sin, but restored by penance and God's grace. The harmony in this song is by my good friends, Harpa Dei.

All. Verba mea

(Lc. 1, 28.42)  Ave Maria gratia plena dominus tecum * benedicta tu in mulieribus et benedictus fructus ventris tui. 
(cf. Lc. 1, 34-35)  V. Quomodo in me fiet hoc que virum non cognosco 
                                    Spiritus domini superveniet in te et virtus altissimi obumbrabit tibi. 
                               V. Ideoque quod nascetur ex te sanctum vocabitur filius dei.*
