- Love Chant but can't sing it? The Chant School podcast is designed to help you sing the ancient chants of the Church with ease.
Learn to sing Jesu Dulcis Memoria. A hymn used in the liturgy of the hours on the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus, attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux, with 53 verses! Thankfully the melody repeats...
(Chant link: tinyurl.com/je...)
Jesu dulcis memoria
dans vera cordis gaudia:
sed super mel et omnia
ejus dulcis praesentia.
Nil canitur suavius,
nil auditur jucundius,
nil cogitatur dulcius,
quam Jesus Dei Filius.
Jesu, spes paenitentibus,
quam pius es petentibus!
quam bonus te quaerentibus!
sed quid invenientibus?
Nec lingua valet dicere,
nec littera exprimere:
expertus potest credere,
quid sit Jesum diligere.
Sis, Jesu, nostrum gaudium,
qui es futurus praemium:
sit nostra in te gloria,
per cuncta semper saecula.
Amen.
The sweet memory of Jesus
Giving true joy to the heart:
But more than honey and all things
His sweet presence.
Nothing more delightful is sung,
Nothing more pleasing heard,
Nothing sweeter thought,
Than Jesus, the Son of God.
O Jesus, hope of the penitent,
How gracious you are to those who ask
How good to those who seek you;
But what [are you] to those who find?
No tongue may tell,
No letter express;
He who has experience of it can believe
What it is to love Jesus.
O Jesus, may you be our joy,
You who are our future reward.
May our glory be in you
Throughout all eternity.
Amen

I'm an awful singer, I don't have any proper musical education and I don't attend any Tridentine Masses, but I love many Gregorian chants! This one in particular is one of my favourites and I must say, it sounds sublime when sung by men with noticeably different vocal ranges. Thank you & I hope that sacred music is successfully revitalized throughout the Church in your lifetime.
Ditto for me!
Absolutely love this poem
Muito, muito obrigado!
Thank you. I want to learn chant. However, I want to relate to the music as well. Is my understanding correct that this is a C clef, which would make the first note signify A. And, I like your version beginning on tone f#. Is this because Floriani sounds better in f#, or is there another rational for this choice?
