Introit
Gaudete * in Domino semper: iterum dico, gaudete: modestia vestra nota sit omnibus hominibus: Dominus prope est. Nihil solliciti sitis: sed in omni oratione petitiones vestrae innotescant apud Deum. Benedixisti, Domine, terram tuam: avertisti captivitatem Iacob. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Let your forbearance be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Do not be anxious over anything; but in all manner of prayer, let your requests be made known unto God. Lord, you have blessed your land; you have put an end to Jacob’s captivity.
Phil 4:4, 5; Ps 84

5:00 My Soul Magnifies the Lord Thomas Root (b.1947) The Tarnished Brass Ensemble The Basilica Schola Cantorum Minnesota Premiere My soul magnifies the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior. He has blessed His lowly servant. Surely from now on all all generations will call me blessed. For the Holy One has done great wonders. Holy is His name. He has lifted those who want, He has humbled thrones of kings. He has sustained His servant Israel.
My soul magnifites the Lord. My spirit rejoices in my God. Holy is Thy name. He has blessed the lowly servant. Holy is His name!
Sing aloud, O daughter Israel! Sing aloud! Sing aloud, O Zion! Sing aloud! Sing aloud, O Israel! Sing aloud! Holy is Thy name. Amen. -Luke 1:46-55 para. Thomas Root
8 9:30 Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence Gustav Holst (1874-1984) The Basilica Cathedral Choir Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand: Ponder nothing earthly-minded for with blessing in his hand, Christ our Lord to earth descendeth our full homage to demand.
King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth He stood, Lord of Lords, in human vesture in the Body and the Blood He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food.
Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way As the light of light descendeth from the realms of endless day That the pow’rs of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.
At his feet the six-winged seraph; Cherubim with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord most high! Amen. -Text: Liturgy of St. James 5th c.; para. by Gerard Moultire, 1829-1885
11:30 Como Estrella en Claro Cielo Skinner Chávez-Melo (1944-1992) As a Star on Cloudless Evenings arr. Richard Proulx Mundus Como estrella en claro cielo de fulgente resplandor, As a star on cloudless evenings With greater brilliance shines, Escogida fue María por designio del Señor. So resplendent was the maiden chosen for the Lord’s design: Es cual rosa que florece entre cardos de un jardín; Fairest rose in all earth’s garden, blooming on a thorny vine, Es doncella, virgen pura, del linaje de David. Virgin mother, pure of spirit, sprung from David’s royal line. Fue un ángel quien le diera bellas nuevas de salud, When the angel spoke to Mary, His good news brought delight: Y a mediados de una noche Dios al mundo envió la luz. He foretold Light’s appearance when half-spent was the night. Es su fruto engendrado, del Creador, supremo don; It was God’s only-begotten, the Creator’s gift supreme: Es Jesús, Verbo Encarnado, del humano, redención. Jesus Christ, the Word incarnate, sent to comfort and redeem. De la paja al madero fue a su hijo siempre fiel From the stable to the hillside Mary’s faith would never dim: Y entre lágrimas y risas consagró su vida a Él. In her tears and in her laughter she had pledged her life to Him. Hoy celebro su alegría, hoy celebro su dolor, As we celebrate her gladness, we recall her deepest pain, Madre tierna y abnegada del bendito Salvador. Tender and unselfish mother of the world’s most precious Gain. Gloria al Padre y al Hijo, y al Espíritu en verdad, To the Father, Son, and Spirit, Glory, honor, thanks, and praise, Como era al principio, es ahora y será. As it was in the beginning and shall be for endless days. Mi alabanza a Dios se eleva como incienso en el altar; Let our prayers rise up like incense to the Triune God adored, Yo también, como María, canto mi Magníficat. Joining with the song of Mary as we magnify the Lord.

11:30 Breath of Heaven Chris Eaton & Amy Grant, arr. Craig Courtney Mundus Samantha Kerlin, solo I have traveled many moonless nights, cold and weary with a babe inside. And I wonder what I’ve done. Holy Father, You have come and chosen me now to carry Your Son. I am waiting in a silent prayer. I am frightened by the load I bear. In a world as cold as stone must I walk this path alone? Be with me now, be with me now. Breath of Heaven, hold me together, be forever near me, Breath of Heaven. Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness, pour over me Your holiness for You are holy, Breath of Heaven. Do you wonder, as You watch my face if another should have had my place? But I offer all I am for the mercy of Your plan. Help me be strong, help me be, help me. Breath of Heaven, hold me together, be forever near me, Breath of Heaven. Breath of Heaven, lighten my darkness, pour over me Your holiness for You are holy, Breath of Heaven.
