about
Veni Emanuel is a deservedly well-known Advent hymn that is found in many modern arrangements. It's text is found in Advent antiphons that predate Charlemagne, and was probably adapted to include the familiar refrain later in the 12th century. Our setting includes a second part, possibly dating from the 13th century, constituting an early example of organum.
lyrics
Veni, Veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel!
Qui gemit in exsilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.
Veni, Veni O Oriens!
Solare nos adveniens,
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
Gaude, gaude…
Veni, Veni Adonai!
Qui populo in Sinai
Legem dedisti vertice,
In Majestate gloriae.
Gaude, gaude…
Come, Emanuel,
Set free the captive Israel
Lamenting in exile,
Deprived of the son of God.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emanuel shall be born to you,
O Israel.
Come, radiant dawn,
Bring us solace.
Dispel the mists and the
Fearful shadows of the night
Rejoice! Rejoice...
Come, Lord God,
who gave the law to your people
on Sinai's summit
in glorious majesty.
Rejoice! Rejoice...
(English translation by Donna Stewart)
