O Sacrum Convivium and Magnificat - The Basilica of Montserrat Choir

A video tribute to one of, if not the most beautiful Church in Canada; Notre Dame Basilica, in Montreal, Quebec. These images are of the interior, exterior and chapels of the Basilica. The song, sung by the basilica of Montserrat choir, is a collection of the Magnificat and O Sacrum Convivium. The text follows;
O sacrum convivium! in quo Christus sumitur:
recolitur memoria passionis ejus: mens impletur gratia:
et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur.
Magnificat: anima mea Dominum.
Et exultavit spiritus meus: in Deo salutari meo.
Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae:
ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
Quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est: et sanctum nomen eius.
Et misericordia eius, a progenie et progenies: timentibus eum.
Fecit potentiam in brachio suo: dispersit superbos mente cordis sui.
Deposuit potentes de sede:et exaltavit humiles.
Esurientes implevit bonis: et divites dimisit inanes.
Suscepit Israel puerum suum: recordatus misericordiae suae.
Sicut locutus est ad patres nostros: Abraham, et semini eius in saecula.
REPEAT: O sacrum...

This music is unsurpassable, and that architecture is unassailable.

Having been to Montreal and been inside to see it, it truly is Magnificent. The most beautiful church I've ever seen. Pictures don't do it justice. You can't imagine the scope and the overwhelming beauty of it, unless you actually see it. You'll never forget it.

@300reimer As one who served mass in Latin for years, I agree.Reading that you were trying to understand Latin, caught my eye. One of the most important things top keep in mind is the fact that for over 1000 years, the church has pronounced Latin as if it were Italian. Thus, for example, a 'c' is sometimes pronounced like a 'ch', & 'j' is said like 'y'. Meanwhile, Gauisus novus annus, or....Happy New Year.....(just showing off.)

Très beau chant ! Si seulement c'était aussi beau ce qu'il se passe à l'intérieur de la basilique, c'est malheureusement moderniste.
