A lively, joyful Latin motet for the Nativity of Christ, for SSATB choir. 

This Christmas motet was commissioned by Heath Morber for the Choirs of St. John's Catholic Chapel in Illinois. The Latin text is drawn from Dom Gueranger's "The Liturgical Year," and is derived from old Gallican sources.

 

Christus natus est nobis: venite adoremus.
Hodie lumen mundi, hodie Salvator Israel natus est nobis.
Illi clamemus: Qui natus es de Virgine, miserere nobis.
Hodie lumen mundi, hodie Salvator Israel natus est nobis.
Christus natus est nobis: venite adoremus. Alleluia.

Today the light of the world, today the Savior of Israel is born unto us.
Christ is born unto us: come, let us adore! Alleluia.
