Tempus adest gratiae, hoc quod optabamus, carmina laetitiae, devotes redamus.
Tempus adest gratiae, hoc quod optabamus, carmina laetitiae, devotes redamus.
Time arrives grace, this that {we wished}, song {of joy}, devoutly {we render}
The time of grace has come, for which we have prayed, let us devoutly sing songs of joy.
Too many fantastic recordings of this one:
- Prima Luce in the crypt of St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney.
- Maddy Prior/Steeleye Span
- Anuna? arr. Michael McGlynn
- Libera - the trippy boy band drawn from English choirs - extra points for putting a drum beat with this piece.
