O beatum et sacrosanctum diem
O beatum et sacrosanctum diem, from Philips' Cantiones Sacrae of 1612, is a joyful Christmas motet – one which seems, incidentally, to have furnished the model for Sweelinck’s better-known 'Hodie Christus natus est.'

LYRICS:
O beatum et sacrosanctum diem, in qua Dominus noster de Virgine Maria pro nobis
nasci dignatus est. Gaudeat itaque universus orbis, et cantemus illi in sono tubae,
cithara, psalterio et organo. Congratulemur cum multitudine angelorum exercitus
semper suas laudes cantantibus, Noë, Noë.
(Office antiphon for Christmas Day)

(O blessed and most holy day, on which our Lord deigned to be born for us of the Virgin Mary.
Therefore let the whole world rejoice, and let us sing to him with the sound of the trumpet, strings,
harp and organ. Let us rejoice with the multitude of the heavenly host, ever singing his praises.)

Treasures of English Church Music
46 tracks of English a cappella church music, featuring John Rutter conducting the Cambridge Singers, and recorded in the inspiring setting of the Lady Chapel of Ely Cathedral.

“A marvellous collection taken from all ages of Church Music – a mix of the popular and the slightly rarer. This is recorded in Ely Cathedral and it seems to have projected itself into some wonderfully lyric pieces – the opening track of Parsons Ave Maria sets the scene for the rest of the music. This is the Cambridge Singers at their best…” Cathedral Music

John Rutter, English composer and conductor, is associated with choral music throughout the world. His recordings with the Cambridge Singers (the professional chamber choir he set up in 1983) have reached a wide global audience, many of them featuring his own music in definitive versions. Among John’s best-known choral works are Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, and Visions, together with many church anthems, choral songs and Christmas carols.
