Original Latin text: "O magnum mysterium, et admirabile sacramentum, ut animalia viderent Dominum natum, jacentem in praesepio! Beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Christum. Alleluia." English translation: "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!" [This is much the most beautiful of the more than fifty works by J. Higdon that I have now heard.]
Choral Society of Pensacola will be singing this Dec. 1&2 along with other works and Messiah selections.
