That is the rare and unforgettable opportunity afforded by this unique recording. Opening with an organ prelude, this recording contains every part of this traditional liturgical prayer, including the invitatory, hymns, antiphons and psalms, readings and responsory, all beautifully chanted in clear Latin. The Old Testament reading is from Isaiah, while the Gospel reading is the genealogy of Christ from the beginning of Matthew. Join the monks of Solesmes as they celebrate the birth of Jesus at the same time of night that he was born in Bethlehem. \"Setting the standard for Gregorian performance.\" (American Record Guide)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaissez paistre vos bestes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Domine Labia mea versicle \/ Christus and Psalm 94 (KJV 95) (mode 4)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Candor Aeternae (mode 1) Hymn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dominus Dixit and Psalm 2 (mode 8) Antiphon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tamquam Sponsus and Psalm 18a (mode 8) antiphon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Diffusa Est and Psalm 18a (mode 8) antiphon \/ Verbus Caro Factum Est\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reading from Isaiah 11:1-10]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hodie Nobis Caelorum Rex (mode 5) responsory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reading from St. Leo the Great\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hodie Nobis De Caelo (mode 8) responsory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Gospel of the genealogy Matthew 1:1-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Te Deum hymn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Collect ; Benedicamus Domino (mode 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Nun komm der Heiden Heiland (BWV 599)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50553799966994,"sku":"708897083228","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/solesmes-monastic-choir-of-st-peters-abbey-christmas-night-office-vigils-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
