Ave Maris Stella - Chant
Ave Maris Stella, Dei Mater alma,
Atque semper Virgo, Felix caeli porta.
Sumens illud Ave, Gabrielis ore,
Funda nos in pace, Mutans Hevae nomen.
Solve vincla reis, Profer lumen caecis,
Mala nostra pelle, Bona cuncta posce.
Monstra te esse matrem, Sumat per te preces,
Qui pro nobis natus, Tulit esse tuus.
Virgo singularis, Inter omnes mitis,
Nos culpis solutos, Mites fac et castos.
Vitam praesta puram, Iter para tutum,
Ut videntes Jesum, Semper collaetemur.
Sit laus Deo Patri, Summo Christo decus,
Spiritui Sancto, Tribus honor unus. Amen
Hail, star of the sea,
loving Mother of God,
and also always a virgin,
Happy gate of heaven.
Let there be praise to God the Father,
Glory to Christ in the highest,
To the Holy Spirit,
One honor to all three. Amen.
Nunc dimittis - Andrew Maxfield (b. 1980)
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace: according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen: thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
Wind, Water, Stone - Maxfield
Text by Octavio Paz. Translated By Eliot Weinberger.
for Roger Caillois
Water hollows stone,
wind scatters water,
stone stops the wind.
Water, wind, stone.
Wind carves stone,
stone's a cup of water,
water escapes and is wind.
Stone, wind, water.
Wind sings in its whirling,
water murmurs going by,
unmoving stone keeps still.
Wind, water, stone.
Each is another and no other:
crossing and vanishing
through their empty names:
water, stone, wind.
All Ye That Joy in Wailing - Giovanni Maria Nanino (1543 - 1607)
All ye that joy in wailing,
Come seat yourselves arrow
And weep beside me.
That while my life is failing,
The world may see
In love what ill betide me.
And after death do this in behove:
Tell Cressid Troyilus is dead for love.
As one who has slept - John Tavener (1944 - 2013)
As one who has slept, the Lord has risen,
And rising He has saved us. Alleluia.
Invitation to Love - Andrew Maxfield
Text by Paul Laurence Dunbar
Come when the nights are bright with stars
Or come when the moon is mellow;
Come when the sun his golden bars
Drops on the hay-field yellow.
Come in the twilight soft and gray,
Come in the night or come in the day,
Come, O love, whene’er you may,
And you are welcome, welcome.
You are sweet, O Love, dear Love,
You are soft as the nesting dove.
Come to my heart and bring it to rest
As the bird flies home to its welcome nest.
Come when my heart is full of grief
Or when my heart is merry;
Come with the falling of the leaf
Or with the redd’ning cherry.
Come when the year’s first blossom blows,
Come when the summer gleams and glows,
Come with the winter’s drifting snows,
And you are welcome, welcome.
If Ye Love Me (Reimagined) - Thomas Tallis (1505-1585)/Andrew Maxfield
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another comforter,
that he may 'bide with you forever;
E'en the sp'rit of truth.
— John 14:15–17
God Be In My Head - David Briggs (b. 1962)
God be in my head, and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes, and in my looking;
God be in my mouth, and in my speaking:
God be in my heart, and in my thinking;
God be at mine end, and at my departing.
Lullaby - Billy Joel (b. 1949)/arr. Philip Lawson (b. 1957)
Goodnight, my angel, time to close your eyes,
And save these questions for another day.
I think I know what you’ve been asking me.
I think you know what I’ve been trying to say.
I promised I would never leave you,
And you should always know
Wherever you may go, no matter where you are,
I never will be far away.
Goodnight, my angel, now it’s time to sleep,
And still so many things I want to say.
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay.
And like a boat out on the ocean,
I’m rocking you to sleep.
The water’s dark and deep inside this ancient heart
You’ll always be a part of me.
Goodnight, my angel, now it’s time to dream,
And dream how wonderful your life will be.
Someday your child may cry, and if you sing this lullaby,
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me.
