A lovely experience. Sound and camera superb.

Thank you! ❤️🕯

My understanding of Old English made me feel more warmly welcome and in the Brotherhood of Christ on hearing and seeing this our Lord's work without subtitles than any translation in modern English, Svenska or our brotherly tongues that God gave Man. Må Gud älska och behålla dig, bröder och systrar från dina kusiner i England.

Overwhelming and superb performance. How glorious

Due to technical problems, the English subtitles of Jan Olof Fors's welcome words went missing. Here's the translation:
_____
A warm welcome to Olaus Petri Church and to a concert in this season of Advent: a concert together with Olaus Petri's own choir "Schola" who will perform William Byrd's Mass for 3 Voices.
The Mass will be interspersed with plainchant for Advent, chant about Jesus Christ's arrival on earth and into our very own lives.
Let us pray for the concert and for the time of Advent:
We light the Advent candles one by one,
A burning prayer for truth and justice.
The first shall shine deep within me,
protect my heart and warm my mind.
The second shall shine for everyone that I know,
that each person has their lot and can live in peace.
The third shall shine for all who suffer,
who struggle and dream of fortunate times.
The fourth shall shine for land and forest,
for air and sea and our future on earth.
We light the Advent candles one by one,
a burning prayer for truth and justice. Amen.

God thank you with love from your cousins in England. I hear daily news from Sweden that bothers me as a child of Christ, but I also see such things hereabouts and wonder as to our Lord's ways. I trust however that our Lord loves and keeps us and that we cannot lose howsoever all our days go, for He awaits our rejoicing in His ways at our day's end. My thanks to you for your wonderful works that He gives us when life grows difficult.

absolutely brilliant, blending Gregorian chant and William Byrd's polyphony as we 're singing God's melody as war refugees in foreign lands make plenty of sense

[@loboblanco9465]

Kyrie: 4:04
Gloria: 5:37
Credo: 11:23
Sanctus: 19:45
Agnus Dei: 24:02

Benedictus 21:36

I know this is a performance, not a liturgical celebration. However, it is interesting to me the Rorate is used, which is for pre-dawn masses in Advent, when the Gloria is not said or sung. Is there a reason for this (other than the fact that Rorate is very beautiful)?

[@patdavey7187]

Absolutely wonderful. What tuning? A =440 hz or 420 hz? I am drummer from London and want to learn the bass part on Electric bass but I am struggling to work out if this has been transposed from the original key F? or is using an older tuning or both or other??? Thanks in advance.

[@vincentbeck592]

who is the arranger of this performance of byrd 3 part Mass?

[@BobbyChastain]

Nice recording. … …
Why not ecclesiastical Latin?
