O Magnum Mysterium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

O Magnum Mysterium is a Latin text from Christmas of the Great Mystery of the birth of Christ. It has been set to music a number of times; the settings by Victoria, Gabrielli, Palestrina, Poulenc and Lauridsen are particularly notable. A setting by Peter Maxwell Davies was created for Cirencester Grammar School. The Lauridsen version has also been transcribed for band by H. Robert Reynolds.

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!
Literal translation
O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-
born Lord, lying in their manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear the
Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluiah!
