Music For Christmas–O Magnum Mysterium [T. L. de Victoria (1549”“1611)] from Holy Trinity Coventry

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Kendall Harmon

Listen to it all. A reminder of the English translation of the words:

O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord,
lying in a manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear
Christ the Lord.
Alleluia!
