Christus Natus Est: A Medley of Medieval Carols by James W. Keefe — Lyrics
Latin|English|
Christus natus est!
Verbum caro factum est de Virgine Maria.
In hoc anni circulo
Vita datur seculo,
Nato nobis Parvulo
de Virgine Maria.
Puer nobis nascitur,
rector angelorum;
In hoc mundo pascitur
Dominus Dominorum.
Qui natus ex Maria
Die hodierna :
Perduc nos cum gratia
Ad gaudia superna.
A et O, et O et A;

About Christus Natus Est: A Medley of Medieval Carols
A vibrant medley for SATB choir, Christus Natus Est draws on the joyous spirit of medieval Christmas carols. Sung in Latin, the work opens with the exultant proclamation Christus natus est! (Christ is born!). It weaves together familiar carols and texts that celebrate the Incarnation, the birth of the Word made flesh from the Virgin Mary. The music reflects the festive character of the season, with its message of new joy and divine glory. Suitable for Christmas services and concerts, this medley offers a rich and celebratory musical experience, bringing ancient carols to life for a modern choir.
