TEXTS AND TRANSLATIONS Alleluia Alleluia

Notre Père Notre Père qui est aux cieux, Que ton nom soit sanctifié, Que ton règne vienne, Que ta volonté soit faite Sur la terre comme au ciel.

Donne nous aujourd’hui notre pain de ce jour, Pardonne-nous nos offenses Comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés, Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, Mais délivre-nous du mal.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us, And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.

Matthew 6:9-13 from the Bible Verlieh uns Frieden Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich, Herr Gott, zu unsern Zeiten.

Es ist doch ja kein andrer nicht, der für uns könnte streiten, denn du, unser Gott, alleine.

Mercifully grant us peace, Lord God, in our times.

For there is no other Who could fight for us But you alone, our God.

Martin Luther Music in the Night When stars pursue their solemn flight, Oft in the middle of the night, A strain of music visits me, Hushed in a moment silverly,— Such rich and rapturous strains as make The very soul of silence ache With longing for the melody; Or lovers in the distant dusk Of summer gardens, sweet as musk, Pouring the blissful burden out, The breaking joy, the dying doubt; Or revellers, all flown with wine, And in a madness half divine, Beating the broken tune about; Or else the rude and rolling notes That leave some strolling sailors’ throats, Hoarse with the salt sprays, it may be, Of many a mile of rushing sea;

Or some high-minded dreamer strays Late through the solitary ways, Nor heeds the listening night, nor me.

Or how or whence those tones be heard, Hearing, the slumbering soul is stirred, As when a swiftly passing light Startles the shadows into flight; While one remembrance suddenly Thrills through the melting melody,— A strain of music in the night.

Out of the darkness burst the song, Into the darkness moves along: Only a chord of memory jars, Only an old wound burns its scars, As the wild sweetness of the strain Smites the heart with passionate pain, And vanishes among the stars.

Harriet Prescott Spofford

Pablo Sosa Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day 4. Chorus From harmony, from heav'nly harmony, This universal frame began, From harmony to harmony, Through all the compass of the notes it ran, The diapason closing full in man.

6. Air (tenor) and Chorus The trumpet's loud clangor Excites us to arms, With shrill notes of anger, And mortal alarms.

The double, double, double beat Of the thund'ring drum Newburgh Hamilton A Spotless Rose A Spotless Rose is blowing, sprung from a tender root, Of ancient seers' foreshowing, of Jesse promised fruit; Its fairest bud unfolds to light Amid the cold, cold winter, And in the dark midnight.

The Rose which I am singing, whereof Isaiah said, Is from its sweet root springing in Mary, purest Maid; Through God's great love and might The Blessed Babe she bare us in a cold, cold winter's night.

Catherine Winkworth

Cries: "Hark! the foes come; Charge, charge! 'Tis too late to retreat."

13. Solo (soprano) and Chorus As from the pow'r of sacred lays The spheres began to move, And sung the great Creator's praise To all the bless'd above; So when the last and dreadful hour This crumbling pageant shall devour, The trumpet shall be heard on high, The dead shall live, the living die, And music shall untune the sky.

Resonet in Laudibus (sung in Latin) 1.Resonet in laudibus cum jucundis plausibus Sion cum fidelibus: apparuit quem genuit Maria.

1. Let praises resound with joyous acclaim: To Sion’s faithful the child born of Mary has appeared.

2. Christus natus hodie ex Maria Virgine sine viri semine: apparuit …

2. Christ, born today of the Virgin Mary without the seed of man: the child born…

3. Pueri concinite, nato regi[Jesu] psallite, voce pia dicite: apparuit …

3. Let us sing together to the Child, Let us sing to the newborn king [Jesus], And with pious tones, say: the child born…

4. Sion lauda Dominum, salvatorem hominum, purgatorem[lavatorum] criminum: apparuit…

4. O Sion, praise the Lord, The Savior of mankind, He who cleanses sin: The child born…

Sunt impleta quae predixit Gabriel.

Eya, eya, Virgo Deum genuit quod divina voluit clementia.

What Gabriel foretold has been fulfilled.

Eia, A Virgin bore God, As the divine mercy willed.

Hodie apparuit in Israel: Ex Maria Virgine est natus Rex.

Today He has appeared in Israel: From the Virgin Mary is born a King.

Magnum nomen Domini Emmanuel quod annuntiatum est per Gabriel.

Great is the name of the Lord Immanuel, As was announced by Gabriel.

Traditional European carol for Christmas The Blue Ridge Still and calm In purple robes of kings, The low-lying mountains sleep at the edge of the world.

The forests cover them like mantles; Day and night Rise and fall over them like the wash of waves.

Asleep they reign.

Silent they say all.

Hush me, O slumbering mountainsSend me dreams.

Harriet Monroe

Riu, Riu Chiu (sung in Spanish) Chorus: Riu riu chiu, la guarda ribera; Dios guardo el lobo de nuestra cordera.

Chorus: Riu, riu, chiu, the river bank protects it, As God kept the wolf from our lamb

El lobo rabioso la quiso morder, Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender; Quisola hazer que no pudiese pecar, Ni aun original esta Virgen no tuviera.

Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca, Christo patriarca, de carne vestido; hanos redimido con se hacer chiquito, a un qu'era infinito, finito se hiziera.

The rabid wolf tried to bite her But God Almighty knew how to defend her He wished to create her impervious to sin Nor was this maid to embody original sin He who's now begotten is our mighty Monarch Christ, our Holy Father, in human flesh embodied He made himself small and so redeemed us: He who was infinite became finite.

Muchas profecias lo han profetizado, Ya un nuestros dias lo hemos al consado Adios humanado vemos en el suelo, Yal hombre nelcielo porquel le quistera.

Many prophecies told of his coming, And now in our days have we seen them fulfilled.

God became man, on earth we behold him, And see man in heaven because he so willed.

Yo vi mil garzones que andaban cantando, por aquí volando, haciendo mil sones, diciendo a gascones: "Gloria sea en el cielo y paz en el suelo", pues de sus nasciera.

A thousand singing angels2 I saw passing, Flying overhead, sounding a thousand voices, Exulting, "Glory be in the heavens, And peace on Earth, for Jesus has been born."

Este viene a dar a los muertos vida y viene a reparar de todos la caída; es la luz del día aqueste mozuelo; este es el cordero que San Juan dixera.

He comes to give life to the dead, He comes to redeem the fall of man; This child is the light of day, He is the very lamb Saint John prophesied.

Mira bien queos quadre que ansina lo oyera, Que Dios no pudiera hacer la mas que madre, El quera su padre hoy della nascio Y el que la drio su hijo so dixera.

Behold…

God could call none greater mother than she who gives birth to her father and now calls him son.

Pues que ya tenemos lo que deseamos, todos juntos vamos, presentes llevemos; todos le daremos muestra voluntad, pues a se igualar con el hombre viniera.

Now we have gotten what we were all desiring, Go we together to bear him gifts: Let each give his will to the God who was willing To come down to Earth man's equal to be

Anonymous Zigeunerlieder (Sung in German) Hochgetürmte Rimaflut, Wie bist du so trüb; An dem Ufer klag ich Laut nach dir, mein Lieb!

Wellen fliehen, Wellen strömen, Rauschen an dem Strand heran zu mir.

An dem Rimaufer laß mich Ewig weinen nach ihr!

Wißt ihr, mein Kindchen am allerschönsten ist?

Wenn ihr süßes Mündchen scherzt und lacht und küßt.

Mägdelein, du bist mein, inniglich küß ich dich,

6

Dich erschuf der liebe Himmel einzig nur für mich!

High-towering River Rima, How murky you are; On the water's edge I lament Loudly for you, my beloved!

The waves flee, the waves stream by, Roaring toward me on the shore; At the edge of the Rima let me Weep for her forever!

Do you know when my beloved is the fairest?

When her sweet little mouth jests and laughs and kisses.

Maiden, you are mine; dearly I kiss you,

Dear heaven created you for me alone!

Wißt ihr, mein Liebster am besten mir gefällt?

Wenn in seinen Armen er mich umschlungen hält.

Schätzelein, du bist mein, inniglich küß ich dich, Dich erschuf der liebe Himmel einzig nur für mich!

Do you know when my beloved pleases me the best?

When he enfolds me in his arms.

My treasure, you are mine; dearly I kiss you, Dear heaven created you for me alone!

Lieber Gott, du weißt, wie oft bereut ich hab, Daß ich meinem Liebsten einst ein Küßchen gab.

Herz gebot, daß ich ihn küssen muß, Denk, solang ich leb, an diesen ersten Kuß.

Dear God, You know how often I've been sorry That I once gave my beloved a little kiss.

My heart told me that I had to kiss him; As long as I live, I'll think about that first kiss.

Lieber Gott, du weißt, wie oft in stiller Nacht Ich in Lust und Leid an meinen Schatz gedacht.

Lieb ist süß, wenn bitter auch die Reu, Armes Herze bleibt ihm ewig, ewig treu.

Dear God, You know how often in the silent night I've thought of my beloved in joy and sorrow.

Love is sweet, even if regret is bitter; My poor heart will forever be true to him.

Brauner Bursche führt zum Tanze Sein blauäugig schönes Kind; Schlägt die Sporen keck zusammen, Csardasmelodie beginnt.

A swarthy young man leads to the dance His fair, blue-eyed maiden; His spurs strike boldly together, The csardas melody begins.

Küßt und herzt sein süßes Täubchen, Dreht sie, führt sie, jauchzt und springt; Wirft drei blanke Silbergulden Auf das Zimbal, daß es klingt.

He kisses and hugs his sweet little dove, He whirls her around, leads her, cheers, and jumps; And he tosses three shining silver pieces Upon the cymbal so that it jingles.

Röslein dreie in der Reihe blühn so rot, Daß der Bursch zum Mädel gehe, ist kein Verbot!

Lieber Gott, wenn das verboten wär, Ständ die schöne weite Welt schon längst nicht mehr; Ledig bleiben Sünde wär!

Three little roses in a row, blossoming so red, That it is not forbidden for the boy to woo a maiden!

Dear god, if it had been forbidden, The beautiful world would long have been no more; To remain single would be a sin!

Schönstes Städtchen in Alföld ist Ketschkemet, Dort gibt es gar viele Mädchen schmuck und nett!

Freunde, sucht euch dort ein Bräutchen aus, Freit um ihre Hand und gründet euer Haus, Freudenbecher leeret aus.

The loveliest village in Alföld is Kecskemét, There are many maidens who live there, pretty and nice!

Friends, choose a little bride there, Ask for her hand and build your house, And drain the cup of happiness!

Kommt dir manchmal in den Sinn, mein süßes Lieb, Was du einst mit heil'gem Eide mir gelobt?

Täusch mich nicht, verlaß mich nicht, Du weißt nicht, wie lieb ich dich hab, Lieb du mich, wie ich dich, Dann strömt Gottes Huld auf dich herab!

Do you sometimes remember, my sweet love, What you once swore to me with a sacred vow?

Do not deceive me, do not leave me -You do not know how much I love you!

If you loved me as I love you, God's favour would stream down upon you!

Horch, der Wind klagt in den Zweigen traurig sacht; süßes Lieb, wir müssen Scheiden: gute Nacht.

Ach wie gern in deinen Armen ruhte ich, doch die Trennungsstunde naht, Gott schütze dich.

Hark, the wind laments in the branches, sad and soft; Sweet love, we must part: good night.

Ah, how gladly I rested in your arms, But the hour of parting is near, may God protect you.

Dunkel ist die Nacht, kein Sternlein spendet Licht; süßes Lieb vertrau auf Gott und weine nicht; führt der liebe Gott mich einst zu dir zurück, bleiben ewig wir vereint in Liebesglück.

Dark is the night: not even a small star gives any light.

Sweet love, trust in God and do not weep; If our dear God one day leads me back to you, We will be united forever in love's bliss.

7

Weit und breit schaut niemand mich an, und wenn sie mich hassen, was liegt mir dran?

Nur mein Schatz der soll mich lieben allezeit, soll mich küssen, umarmen und herzen in Ewigkeit.

Far and wide, no one looks at me, And if they hate me, what is it to me?

Only my beloved, who will love me forever, Shall kiss me, hold me, and embrace me for eternity.

Kein Stern blickt in finsterer Nacht; keine Blum mir strahlt in duftiger Pracht.

Deine Augen sind mir Blumen Sternenschein, die mir leuchten so freundlich, die blühen nur mir allein.

No star gleams in the dark night; No flower radiates fragrant splendour at me.

To me, your eyes are starlight flowers That shine on me and that blossom for me alone.

Rote Abendwolken ziehn am Firmament, Sehnsuchtsvoll nach dir, Mein Lieb, das Herze brennt, Himmel strahlt in glühnder Pracht, Und ich träum bei Tag und Nacht Nur allein von dem süßen Liebchen mein.

Red evening clouds drift across the heavens; Full of longing for you, My love, my heart burns; The sky blazes in glowing splendour, And I dream day and night Of my sweet beloved alone.
