- A live performance of one of the most famous Renaissance choral works by the Choir of Saint Ignatius of Antioch, New York City, James Kennerley, Organist & Music Director; Father Andrew Blume, Rector. Sung as the Tract at the Great Vigil Easter, Saturday 5th April, 2015.
Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum: ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus. Sitivit anima mea ad Deum fortem, vivum; quando veniam et apparebo ante faciem Dei? Fuerunt mihi lacrimae meae panis die ac nocte, dum dicitur mihi quotidie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
Like as the hart desireth the water-brooks: so longeth my soul after thee, O God. My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the living God: when shall I come to appear before the presence of God? My tears have been my meat day and night: while they daily say unto me, Where is now thy God?
First published in 1584 , Motectorum liber secundus, 4vv, Venice.
I like when all the tenor entries are confident and not drowned out by the sopranos. This version respects the tenor line. The effect here is mystical and floating. Bravo!
Thank you so much for this beautiful recording. I know it was posted three years ago, but I really needed it today.
Ein wunderschöner Ton-Gottesdienst. Grossen Dank!
Dear James; Everything you do musical is touched with genius and new life. Blessings on all you love.
Very well sung ;-) Thanks for this rendition of Master Palestina.
Music of the Angels!
