Cantata "In cordis iubilo" (Christmas Cantata) by Enrico Vercesi — Lyrics
In principio erit verbum. Et verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum.
Coeli enarrant gloria Dei, et opera manuum eius annuntiat firmamentum!
Verbum et nox nocti indicat scientiam, Dies diei eructat Verbum,
et nox nocti indicat scientiam. Alleluia!
Gloria Patri…
Alleluia!
Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine.
Et homo factus est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato, passus et sepultus est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis, sub Pontio Pilato.
Passus et sepultus est.
Et resurrexit tertia die secundum scripturas.
Alleluia!
Et ascendit in coelo, sedet ad dexteram Patris.
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, iudicare vivos et mortuos.
Cujus regni non erit finis, cujus regni non erit finis.
Alleluia.

About Cantata "In cordis iubilo" (Christmas Cantata)
This powerful Christmas Cantata, In cordis iubilo, sets a profound Latin text exploring the Incarnation and Resurrection of Christ. Opening with the Prologue of John's Gospel, it moves through the creation and the nature of the Word, before proclaiming the glory of God in the heavens. The central section powerfully recounts the Incarnation, the Crucifixion, and the burial, drawing on the Nicene Creed. The cantata concludes with the triumphant proclamation of the Resurrection and Ascension, and the anticipation of Christ's return. Scored for SATB choir, this work offers a rich and contemplative musical setting for the Christmas season.
