Stella Caeli - the medieval hymn to protect against pestilence, plague or pandemic
Day 65 of #100daysofchant
0:00 some explanation
1:02 Singing Stella Caeli
https://www.ccwatershed.org/2020/03/13/stella-caeli-a-hymn-against-pestilence/
The Star of Heaven that nourished the Lord drove away the plague of death which the first parents of man brought into the world. May this bright Star now vouchsafe to extinguish that foul constellation whose battles have slain the people with the wound of death.
O most pious Star of the Sea, preserve us from pestilence; hear us, O Lady, for Thy Son honours Thee by denying Thee nothing. Save us, O Jesus, for whom Thy Virgin Mother supplicates Thee.

Flos Carmeli - ready for 16 July - remember to kiss your scapular
Day 68 of #100daysofchant
The Carmelite sequence for 16 July. Two of my children help me out here.
https://www.ccwatershed.org/2018/07/07/flos-carmeli-carmelite-novena/
Flos Carmeli,
vitis florigera,
splendor caeli,
virgo puerpera
singularis.
Mater mitis
sed viri nescia
Carmelitis
da privilegia
Stella Maris.
Radix Jesse
germinans flosculum
nos ad esse
tecum in saeculum
patiaris.
Inter spinas
quae crescis lilium
serva puras
mentes fragilium
tutelaris.
Armatura
fortis pugnantium
furunt bella
tende praesidium
scapularis.
Per incerta
prudens consilium
per adversa
iuge solatium
largiaris.
Mater dulcis
Carmeli domina,
plebem tuam
reple laetitia
qua bearis.
Paradisi
clavis et ianua,
fac nos duci
quo, Mater, gloria
coronaris.
Amen. (Alleluia.)
Flower of Carmel,
Tall vine blossom laden;
Splendour of heaven,
Childbearing yet maiden.
None equals thee.
Mother so tender,
Who no man didst know,
On Carmel's children
Thy favours bestow.
Star of the Sea.
Strong stem of Jesse,
Who bore one bright flower,
Be ever near us
And guard us each hour,
who serve thee here.
Purest of lilies,
That flowers among thorns,
Bring help to the true heart
That in weakness turns
and trusts in thee.
Strongest of armour,
We trust in thy might:
Under thy mantle,
Hard press'd in the fight,
we call to thee.
Our way uncertain,
Surrounded by foes,
Unfailing counsel
You give to those
who turn to thee.
O gentle Mother
Who in Carmel reigns,
Share with your servants
That gladness you gained
and now enjoy.
Hail, Gate of Heaven,
With glory now crowned,
Bring us to safety
Where thy Son is found,
true joy to see.
Amen. (Alleluia.)

Salve Mater misericordiae - Hail, Mother of mercy
Day 66 of #100daysofchant
I didn't do a great job here - I missed a verse accidentally and went flat, but hoping that on the balance, it may illuminate another corner of the treasure trove of the Church's patrimony of sacred music.
Refrain: Hail, Mother of mercy, Mother of God, and Mother of pardon, Mother of hope, and Mother of grace, Mother full of holy joy, O Mary!
1. Hail, honor of mankind; hail, Virgin worthier than others, who surpass all virgins and in heaven occupy the highest seat of honor, O Mary!
2. Hail, happy child-bearing Mother, for He Who sits at the right hand of the Father, ruling heaven, earth, and sky, didst enclose Himself within Thy womb, O Mary!
3. The Father created thee, the Only-Begotten One loved thee, the Holy Spirit made thee fruitful, thou art made wholly divine, O Mary!
4. God wondrously created thee; looks on thee, the humble handmaid; seeks thee, the amiable spouse; no one was made similar to thee, O Mary!
5. All the just desire to praise thee, but it is never sufficient; Many praises of thee they receive, but they are utterly deficient, O Mary!
6. O Mother, be our solace; thou Virgin, be our joy; at last, after this exile, join us, rejoicing, to the heavenly choirs, O Mary!

Jesu Rex Admirabilis - Palestrina Plus Plainchant
Day 56 of #100daysofchant
Jesu Rex Admirabilis is one part of St Bernard of Clairvaux's Really Long Poem. The other popular part is Jesu Dulcis Memoria.
Giovanni Pierluigi Palestrina arranged it in this beautiful three part motet.
Here we alternate between the Palestrina and the Gregorian chant.
1 Jesu, Rex admirabilis
Et triumphator nobilis
Dulcedo ineffabilis
Totus desiderabilis.
2 Mane nobiscum Domine
Et nos illustra lumine
Pulsa mentis caligine
Mundum reple dulcedine.
3 Te saeculorum Principem,
Te, Christe, regem gentium,
Te mentium, Te cordium
unum fatemur arbitrum.
4 Amor Iesus continuus
Mihi languor assiduus
Mihi Iesus mellifluus
Fructus vitæ perpetuus
5 Quocumque loco fuero
Semper Iesum desidero
Amore Iesus langueo
& corde totus ardeo
1 O Jesu, King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned,
Thou sweetness most ineffable,
In whom all joys are found!
2 When once thou visitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine;
Then earthly vanities depart;
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesu! Light of all below!
Thou Fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
And all we can desire:
4 May every heart confess thy name,
And ever thee adore;
And seeking thee, itself inflame
To seek thee more and more.
5 Thee may our tongues forever bless,
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our lives express
The image of thine own.
Translation by Edward Caswall
