Chant SchoolAuthor: Floriani
Love Gregorian Chant but can't sing it? The Chant School podcast is designed to help you sing the ancient chants of the Church with ease. In the Chant School, you will learn the most ancient melodies and texts in the Christian tradition. St. Hugh of Cluny once spoke of how the learning, practicing, and singing of Gregorian chant is a sure way to grow in holiness, in closeness to the Word, and in submission to the discipline of singing Gods praises. Floriani has taken these words to heart, and it is our intent to inspire and educate the next generation of Catholic musicians in the spirit of this beautiful inheritance. We hope you enjoy learning how to sing Gregorian Chant -- the greatest artistic treasure of the Catholic Church!

Vexilla Regis | The Triumph of the Holy Cross
Episode 122
Wednesday, 11 September, 2024
Link to MusicThe Royal Banner forward goes,The mystic Cross refulgent glows:Where He, in Flesh, flesh who made,Upon the Tree of pain is laid.Behold! The nails with anguish fierce,His outstretched arms and vitals pierce:Here our redemption to obtain,The Mighty Sacrifice is slain.Here the fell spear his wounded sideWith ruthless onset opened wide:To wash us in that cleansing flood,Thence mingled Water flowed, and Blood.Fulfilled is all that David toldIn true prophetic song, of old:Unto the nations, lo! saith he,Our God hath reignèd from the Tree.O Tree! In radiant beauty bright!With regal purple meetly dight!Thou chosen stem! divinely graced,Which hath those Holy Limbs embraced!How blest thine arms, beyond compare,Which Earth's Eternal Ransom bare!That Balance where His Body laid,The spoil of vanquished Hell outweighed.Hail wondrous Altar! Victim hail!Thy Glorious Passion shall avail!Where death Life's very Self endured,Yet life by that same Death secured.O Cross! all hail! sole hope, abideWith us now in this Passion-tide:New grace in pious hearts implant,And pardon to the guilty grant!Thee, mighty Trinity! One God!Let every living creature laud;Whom by the Cross Thou dost deliver,O guide and govern now and ever! Amen.
