Advent 22 2013


O Ruler of all the nations, the only joy of every human heart, O Keystone of the mighty arch of humankind: Come and save the creature you fashioned from the dust.

  1. You've inspired me to go back and look at the Gregorian settings of these antiphons and it's been a revelation. Instead of the usual coolness that so many Gregorian performances give, those are warm and joyous. Maybe I should go back and dig out my Liber Usualis and review more.

    Thank you, RMJ, for your writing and your support and your always informed criticism.
