De Sancto Nicolao - Sequentia by Walter Frye — Lyrics
Sospitati dedit egros olei perfusio
Nicolaus naufragantum affuit presidio
revelatur a defunctis defunctus in bivio
baptizatur auri viso Iudeus indicio

About De Sancto Nicolao - Sequentia
Walter Frye's De Sancto Nicolao is a sacred sequence, likely composed in the mid-fifteenth century. Set for SATB choir, this work is sung in Latin. The text recounts miracles attributed to Saint Nicholas, depicting his divine intervention in saving the sick, aiding shipwrecked sailors, and bringing the dead back to life. It also touches upon his role in a Jewish man's conversion and the miraculous multiplication of grain, concluding with a call for the congregation to praise him. The music aims to reflect the narrative and devotional character of the sequence, making it a fitting choice for services or concerts focusing on saints' lives and medieval sacred music.
