Advent and Christmas Music for Choir

Allon gay, gay Bergères ~ Guillaume Costeley

Chicago’s Music of the Baroque Choir
Thomas Wikman, Music Director and Conductor
Collection Four, Vol. 10

Richard and Judith Mintel, Recording Engineers · Allon gay, gay Bergères ~ Guillaume Costeley

Let’s go gaily, Shepherdesses,
Let’s go gaily, be light, follow me.
Let’s go see the King,
Who from heaven is born on Earth.
Let’s go gaily …
I’ll make him an attractive present, of what?
This tin whistle that I have, so gay.
Let’s go gaily …
I will give him a cake.
And me, I’ll offer him a full drinking cup.
Let’s go gaily …
Oh, oh, hush! I see him;
He’s nursing well, not with his thumb, the little King!

Let’s go gaily, Shepherdesses
Let us go gaily, be light, the King is drinking!

Four Traditional Christmas Carols

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina –Videntes Stellam 

Chicago’s Music of the Baroque Choir
Thomas Wikman, Music Director and Conductor
Collection Four, Vol. 10

Richard and Judith Mintel, Recording Engineers · Videntes Stellum – Palestrina

When they saw the Star, they rejoiced
and going into the house they found there
the boy with Mary, his mother
And prostrating themselves they worshipped Him
And opening their treasures, they offered Him gifts
Gold, Frankincense, and myrrh.

Remember O Thou Man-Thomas Ravenscroft

Chicago’s Music of the Baroque Choir
Thomas Wikman, Music Director and Conductor
Collection Eight, Vol. 5

Richard and Judith Mintel, Recording Engineers · Remember, O Thou Man-Thomas Ravenscroft

Remember O thou man
thy time is spent:
how thou art dead and gone,
And I did what I can,
therefore repent!
Remember Adam’s fall
o thou man
From heav’n to hell!
How we were condemned all
In hell perpetual,
Therefor to dwell.
Remember God’s goodness,
o thou man,
And promise made!
How he sent his son, doubtless
Our sins for to redress:
Be not afraid!
The angels all did sing,
o thou man,
On heav’n’s high hill;
Praise to our hean’nly King,
And peace to man living,
With a good will.
In Bethlem He was born,
o thou man,
For mankind’s sake;
For us that were forlorn,
And therefore took no scorn,
Our flesh to take.
Give thanks to God always,
o thou man,
with heart most jolly,
For this is our happy day,
let all men sing and say:
“Holy, Holy!”Tomás Luis de Victoria • Ne timeas Maria

Chicago’s Music of the Baroque Choir

Richard and Judith Mintel, Recording Engineers · Tomás Luis de Victoria • Ne timeas Maria

Fear not, Mary, for you have found favor in the house of the Lord.
Behold, you shall conceive and bring forth a son,
and he shall be called Son of the most High.

Tomás Luis de Victoria • O Magnum Mysterium

Richard and Judith Mintel, Recording Engineers · O magnum mysterium-Tomás Luis de Victoria
O great mystery, and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord,
lying in a manger.
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy
To bear Jesus Christ the Lord.
Alleluia.

 Surge Illuminare-Palestrina

Chicago’s Music of the Baroque Choir
Thomas Wikman, Music Director and Conductor
Collection Eight, Vol. 5

Richard and Judith Mintel, Recording Engineers · Surge Illuminare-Palestrina
Arise, shine, Jerusalem;
for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but the Lord will arise upon you,
and his glory will appear over you.

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina – First Responsory of Advent Sunday

Church of the Ascension Choir, Thomas Wikman, Choirmaster

Richard and Judith Mintel, Recording Engineers · Palestrina First Responsory

I look from afar:
And lo, I see the power of God coming, and a cloud covering the whole earth.
Go ye out to meet him and say:
Tell us, art thou he that should come to reign over thy people Israel?
High and low, rich and poor, one with another, Go ye out to meet him and say:
Hear, O thou shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep:
Tell us, art thou he that should come? Stir up thy strength, O Lord, and come
To reign over thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
I look from afar, and lo, I see the power of God coming, and a cloud covering the whole earth.
Go ye out to meet him and say:
Tell us, art thou he that should come to reign over thy people Israel?
