Music for Epiphany–Clemens non Papa: Motet “Magi veniunt ab oriente – Magi, videntes stellam”

Lyrics: Learned men come from the East seeking Jerusalem and saying, “ Where is he that was born king of the Jews, whose star we have seen? For we have come with gifts to worship the Lord.”

The wise men, seeing the star, said to one another, “This is the sign of a great king; let us go and search for him, and offer him gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh. Alleluia.”

Listen to it all from the Sistine Chapel Choir.
