Beautiful, Latin Gregorian Chant CDs
...from the rich tradition of the Catholic
Church
Featured song is from the Chant Compendium- 1
"Salve Festa Dies"
This is one of the oldest hymns used by the
Church, written by Venantius Fortunatus
before 609 AD! Sublime, poetic, and
beautiful, this hymn is considered extremely
precious by the Church. She only makes use of
it once a year, during the greatest feast of
her liturgical year! Easter is indeed the
greatest feast, even greater than Christmas.
There is at least 40 days preparation for
Easter, but only 4 weeks for Christmas.
Furthermore, Our Lord was born in order to
redeeem us -- so the feast celebrating his
life's mission (the Redemption) must be the
most important.
1. Hail, festal day, venerable of all ages
By which God conquers hell and holds the
stars
2. Behold, it declares grace for a reborn
worldAll gifts have returned with their Lord.
3. For indeed, after hellish sorrows, to the
triumphing Christ:grove with green and buds
with flower, everywhere give laud.
4. The Crucified One was God, behold He
reigns over all things, and all creation
offers prayer to its Creator.
5. O Christ, the salvation of all things,
good Creator and Redeemer, only begotten Son
of God the Father.
6. You Who, seeing mankind to have plunged to
the deep,that you might save man, were also
made man.
7. That Thou, the author of life and the
world, might open the way of death and the
grave by giving hope of salvation.

| Gregorian - Ordinary world |
 |
This is one of my favorites songs from the
group Gregorian masters of the chant
Ordinary world - Chapter III
----------------------------
Came in from a rainy Thursday
on the avenue
thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV
and the radio
still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Passion or coincidence
once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
cross the rooftops
run away
left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
Papers in the roadside
tell of suffering and greed
here today, forgot tomorrow
ooh, here besides the news
of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk
And I don't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
every one
any one
any one
every one
