Schola Marianum will sing for the high mass on the feast of the Sacred Heart, and invite you to meditate upon the beautiful texts of the music we have specifically chosen for this feast day:
Missa Tribus Vocibus (by Dalitz)
Tollite Jugum (by Gabrieli)
Translation: Take up my yoke upon you, saith the Lord, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart: For my yoke is sweet and my burden is light.
O Cor Jesu (by Rossini )
Translation: O heart of Jesus, burning with love for us: inflame our hearts with your love! O heart of Jesus!
Improperium Expectavit (by Palestrina)
Translation: My heart expected reproach and misery
and I desired one who would grieve with me and there was none:
I sought one to console me, and I found none:
and they gave me gall as my food,
and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
O Sacrum Convivium (by Tallis)
Translation: O sacred banquet, wherein Christ is received;
the memorial of his passion is renewed; the soul is filled with grace;
and a pledge of future glory is given to us. (Alleluia)
