In Human Vesture by J. G. Stalnaker — Lyrics
Latin|English|
I. Dies est laetitiae
Dies est laetitiae
In ortu regali,
Nam processit hodie
Ventre virginali
Puer admirabilis,
Totus delectabilis
In humannitate,
Qui inaestimabilis
Est et ineffabilis
In divinitate.
Ortes Dei filio
Virgine de pura,
Ut rosa delilio,
Stupescit natura,
Quem parit juvencula
Natum ante saecula
Creatorem rerum,
Quod uber muniditiae
Lac dat puer ritiae

About In Human Vesture
This anthem for SSATBB voices, In Human Vesture, is a powerful setting of English text that explores the divine and human nature of Christ. The music moves from the joyous celebration of his birth and wondrous humanity to a profound reflection on his role as redeemer. The composer draws on the rich tradition of sacred music, offering a piece that is both textually engaging and musically rewarding. It would be particularly suitable for services during the Christmas season or for general use, providing a moving and contemplative experience for both choir and congregation.
