A Beautiful Lenten Hymn • “How It Sounds”

Jeff Ostrowski · March 7, 2021

OMETHING WE NEVER DO is post previously-released blogs. Everything you see when you come here is newly created. Certain blogs simply “cut and paste” from previous years and—in my humble opinion—this is incredibly insulting to one’s audience. I admit I was tempted to break this rule today, because I have already written a whole lot about this Gregorian Hymn…so I really hope folks will check that out.

People were asking how it sounds…so here’s a *live* recording from last week:

To download the “singer score” and the “organist accompaniment” please go here:

*  PDF Download • Organ Accomp.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the live recording above only has a few singers. This piece (from the Brébeuf hymnal) is called: “Jam Christe Sol Justitiæ”—changed in 1631AD to “O Sol Salutis Intimis.”

    Weeping For Joy! (We Hope!)
    Listening to this Easter Alleluia—an SATB arrangement I made twenty years ago based on the work of Monsignor Jules Van Nuffel—one of our readers left this comment: “I get tears in my eyes each time I sing to this hymn.” I hope this person is weeping for joy!

Random Quote

“…I started down the road of the liturgy, and this became a continuous process of growth into a grand reality transcending all particular individuals and generations, a reality that became an occasion for me of ever-new amazement and discovery. The incredible reality of the Catholic liturgy has accompanied me through all phases of life, and so I shall have to speak of it time and again.”

— Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
