Day 30 of #100daysofchant Because we had the four voices to give this a go. It's a bit rough. There are lots of better recordings available on the interwebs. But this may give someone the courage to give this a go.

Day 29 of #100daysofchant Beata nobis gaudia Anni reduxit orbita, Cum Spiritus paraclitus Illapsus est Apostolis. Ignis vibrante lumine Linguæ figuram detulit, Verbis ut essent proflui, Et caritate fervidi. Linguis loquuntur omnium, Turbæ pavent Gentilium: Musto madere deputant, Quos spiritus repleverat. Parata sunt hæc mystice, Paschæ peracto tempore, Sacro dierum circulo, Quo lege fit remissio. Te nunc Deus piissime Vultu precamur cernuo, Illapsa nobis cœlitus Largire dona Spiritus. Dudum sacrata pectora Tua replesti gratia: Dimitte nostra crimina, Et da quieta tempora. Deo Patri sit gloria, Et Filio, qui a mortuis Surrexit, ac Paraclito. In sæculorum sæcula. translation here is by Richard Ellis Roberts, 1906 Rejoice! the year upon its way has brought again that blessed day, when on the chosen of the Lord the Holy Spirit was outpoured. On each the fire, descending, stood, in quivering tongues' similitude, tongues, that their words might ready prove, and fire, to make them flame with love. To all in every tongue they spoke; amazement in the crowd awoke, who mocked, as overcome with wine, those who were filled with power divine. These things were done in type that day, when Eastertide had passed away, the number told which once set free the captive at the jubilee. And now, O holy God, this day regard us as we humbly pray, and send us, from thy heavenly seat, the blessings of the Paraclete. To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, praise be done; may Christ the Lord upon us pour the Spirit's gift for evermore.

Day 28 of #100daysofchant Here's that well known prayer: Veni, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium et tui amoris in eis ignem accende. Come, O Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful: and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.

Day 27 of #100daysofchant I might say this a lot, but I really love this one. It's the Communion Antiphon for Pentecost Sunday. Factus est repénte de cœlo sonus, tamquam adveniéntis spíritus veheméntis, ubi erant sedéntes, allelúia: et repléti sunt omnes Spíritu Sancto, loquéntes magnália Dei. Allelúia, allelúia. Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty wind coming where they were sitting, alleluia; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, speaking the wonderful works of God. Alleluia, alleluia.

Day 26 of #100daysofchant Back on day 24 I mentioned this piece. Look back to that one if you find this one a tad tricky to sing for Pentecost Sunday Mass. You need to add in a few words to the other one to match up with this one. Confirma hoc Deus, quod operatus es in nobis; A templo tuo quod est in Jerusalem, tibi offerent Reges munera. Alleluia. Stablish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in us, For thy temple's sake at Jerusalem: so shall kings bring presents unto thee. Alleluia.

Day 25 of #100daysofchant Emitte spiritum tuum et creabuntur et renovabis faciem terrae. Alleluia. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created, and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth. Alleluia.

Day 24 of #100daysofchant This antiphon is handy for when the Offertory of Pentecost seems too hard. Or for Confirmations. Confirma hoc Deus, quod operatus es in nobis; A templo tuo quod est in Jerusalem. Alleluia. Stablish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought in us, For thy temple's sake at Jerusalem: Alleluia.

Day 23 of #100daysofchant A Magnificat antiphon for the Ascension. O rex Gloriae, Domine virtutum, qui triumphator hodie super omnes coelos ascendisti, ne derelinquas nos orphanos, sed mitte promissum Patris in nos Spiritum Veritatis Alleluia. O King of glory, Lord of all goodness, who ascended to heaven on this day triumphant over all, do not leave us as orphans but send us the Father’s promise, the spirit of truth. Alleluia.

Day 22 of #100daysofchant Communion antiphon for the win. Happy Feast of the Ascension! PSÁLLITE Dómino, qui ascéndit super cælos cælórum ad Oriéntem, allelúia. Sing ye to the Lord, who mounteth above the heaven of heavens to the East, alleluia

Day 20 of #100daysofchant This video is a little different. Here I look at singing a Missa Cantata, cutting all the corners, using the Chant Tools app by Benjamin Bloomfield. Here is the web version: http://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/propers.html Here is the Google Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=chant%20tools&c=apps Here is the Apple Store link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/chant-tools/id1225329409 I'm singing from the Sunday in the Octave of the Ascension.

Day 20 of #100daysofchant Today is the feast of Mary Help of Christians, so here's another Marian Hymn. Pope Urban VIII, way back in the 15th century, decided to fix all the hymns. ALL THE HYMNS. This is generally considered today to have been a BAD IDEA. One of the positive things to have come out of Vatican II was the restoration of some of the older hymns. Here is the pre-urbanite version of the hymn we now know as Memento Rerum Conditor: Memento, salutis Auctor, Quod nostri quondam corporis, Ex illibata Virgine Nascendo, formam sumpseris. Maria, mater gratiæ, Mater misericordiæ, Tu nos ab hoste protege, Et hora mortis suscipe. Gloria tibi, Domine, Qui natus es de Virgine, Cum Patre et Sancto Spiritu In sempiterna sæcula. Amen. the meaning is generally the same as the revised version, Memento Rerum Conditor. Here's Fr Edward Caswall's translation: REMEMBER, O Creator Lord, that in the Virgin's sacred womb Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh didst our mortality assume. Mother of grace, O Mary blest, to thee, sweet fount of love, we fly; shield us through life, and take us hence to thy dear bosom when we die. O Jesu! born of Mary bright! Immortal glory be to Thee; praise to the Father infinite, and Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.

Day 19 of #100daysofchant We sing Compline each night as a family. I made booklets and put them on the internet: https://compline.brandt.id.au Great one to ask God to keep away nightmares. The tune changes for each liturgical season. There are about a dozen tunes to learn. This is the tune for the night before Ascension Thursday through to just before Pentecost Sunday. Te lucis ante terminum, Rerum Creator poscimus, Ut pro tua clementia Sis præsul et custodia. Procul recedant somnia, Et noctium phantasmata; Hostemque nostrum comprime, Ne polluantur corpora. Præsta, Pater piissime, Patrique compar Unice, Cum Spiritu Paraclito Regnans per omne sæculum. or in English verse: To thee before the end of the day, Creator of the world, we pray That with Thy wonted favor Thou Wouldst be our Guard and Keeper now. From all ill dreams defend our eyes, From nightly fears and fantasies; Tread under foot our ghostly foe, That no pollution we may know. O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son; Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.

Day 18 of #100daysofchant This Sunday we have a sung Mass, so this is a good chance to get more practice with the propers. The Communion antiphon appeared on Day 13 (17 May 2022). The Introit on Day 16 (20 May). Benedícite, gentes, Dóminum Deum nostrum, et obaudíte vocem laudis ejus: qui pósuit ánimam meam ad vitam, et non dedit commovéri pedes meos: benedictus Dóminus, qui non amóvit deprecatiónem meam et misericórdiam suam a me, allelúia. O bless the Lord our God, ye peoples, and make the voice of His praise to be heard: who hath set my soul to live, and hath not suffered my feet to be moved. Blessed be the Lord, Who hath not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me, alleluia.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-cP6xQzyC4 The last react video wasn't a real spontaneous first reaction thing, so when I saw the new trailer coming up, I figured I could do a proper reaction video. I didn't realise it was so short though. Hope everyone watches Episode 2 of The Mass of Ages when it comes out on 26th May!

Day 17 of #100daysofchant We sing Compline each night as a family. I made booklets and put them on the internet: https://compline.brandt.id.au Great one to ask God to keep away nightmares. The tune changes for each liturgical season. There are about a dozen tunes to learn. This is the tune for Easter Sunday through to just before Ascension Thursday.

Day 16 of #100daysofchant This Sunday we have a sung Mass, so this is a good chance to get more practice with the propers. The Communion antiphon appeared on Day 17. The Offertory is in the pipeline - probably Day 22. The Alleluia defeated me, so I might do a separate video on how to use Chant Tools to simplify any of the propers. Vocem jucunditátis annuntiáte, et audiátur, allelúia: annuntiáte usque ad extremum terræ: liberávit Dóminus pópulum suum, alleluia, allelúia. Ps. 65. 1-2. Jubiláte Deo, omnis terra, psalmum dícite nómini ejus: date glóriam laudi ejus. V. Glória Patri. Declare it with the voice of joy, and make it known, alleluia: declare it even to the ends of the earth: The Lord hath delivered His people, alleluia, alleluia. Ps. Shout with joy to God, all the earth, sing ye a psalm to His name: give glory to His praise. V. Glory be to the Father.

Day 15 of #100daysofchant This is the most common hymn in the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary. My kids know this one off by heart from singing Prime most mornings. It's also a redux of my most popular video on YouTube. I think because it was the first recording of that hymn on that platform. 1. Memento, rerum Conditor, Nostri quod olim corporis, Sacrata ab alvo Virginis Nascendo, formam sumpseris. 2. Maria mater gratiae dulcis parens clementiae tu nos ab hoste protege et mortis hora suscipe 3. Jesu tibi sit gloria qui natus es de Virgine cum patre et almo Spiritu in sempiterna saecula. Amen. and an English version: Remember, O Creator Lord, that in the Virgin’s sacred womb Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh didst our mortality assume. Mother of grace, O Mary blest, to thee, sweet fount of love, we fly; shield us through life, and take us hence to thy dear bosom when we die. O Jesu! born of Mary bright! Immortal glory be to Thee; praise to the Father infinite, and Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.

I've been wanting to make a reaction video from some time. The original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdvpengDCDs

Day 14 of #100daysofchant This is a hymn my mother typed up from some scattered sources. https://www.repleatur.net/pdf/chant/christus-resurrexit.pdf It's not very well known, so it's a bit hard to find a translation, but here's my best shot off the top of my head, mostly: Christ is risen, he has covered our bad things, and those whom he has loved he has led to heaven, alleluia. Death is dead, Satan is bound, hell is wasted, the Fathers are freed, alleluia. At morning hour, divine power arose like a strong lion, breaking the gates, alleluia. You arise victor over death, you killing sins, give life and this stability, alleluia. Praise to the Father Creator, the Son restored, and the Spirit, unto ages of ages, alleluia. And the Latin text for anyone searching: Christus resurrexit, mala nostra texit, et quos hic dilexit, hos ad caelos vexit, alleluia. Morte mortem stravit, Satanam ligavit, infernum vastavit Patres liveravit, alleluia. Hora matutina, virtute divina surgit leo fortis, fractis orci portis, alleluia. Morte surgis victa: Tu nostra delicta necans, dona vitam, et hanc stabilitam, alleluia. Laus Patri Creanti, Nato Restauranti, Amborem Spiranti, Per saecla regnanti, alleluia. You can see from the rhyming structure that it must be relatively recent. It feels natural to sing it with a fairly strong beat. Happy Easter!

Day 13 of #100daysofchant I love this one. Very upbeat and joyful. Cantate Domino, alleluia. Cantate Domino, benedicte nomen ejus: bene nuntiate de die in diem salutare ejus, alleluia, alleluia. Sing ye to the Lord, alleluia. Sing to the Lord, bless ye his Name: show forth His sal­vation from day to day, alleluia, alleluia.
