- The Antiphon to the Magnificat is sung during Vespers on the first Sunday of Advent. “Spiritus Sanctus in te descendet”, taken from Luke’s Gospel, gives us the message of the Annunciation to Mary: “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, Mary. Fear not, you will conceive in your womb the Son of God. Alleluia.”
With the Annunciation, the dawn of the new alliance is unveiled. As happened before with Israel in Sinai, we are asked to join in an indissoluble embrace. Nazareth, as the new Sinai, will receive God. A God who quietly dwells in the womb of a humble girl, as announced by the Archangel Gabriel: “thou shalt conceive in your womb”. The Saviour will come and be among us. As the melody ascends we are reminded that the Son of God comes from above.
Raúl Orlando Arreguin Rosales is a professor and the assistant choir director at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music, as well as a cantor and the archivist for the Cappella Giulia, at St. Peter's Basilica, since 2008. The Cappella Giulia sings for all solemn functions of the Vatican, such as Holy Mass, Lauds, and Vespers, when these are not celebrated by the Pope (when instead the Sistine Chapel Choir sings). Before this he served as an academic professor and the choirmaster for the Celaya Conservatory of Music in Mexico. He studied piano at the Conservatory of Celaya and choir direction at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music, and is founder of the Schola Cantorum Nova Hispania. Raúl is in charge of the English translations for Neumz.
