The famous hymn "Christus Vincit" has been set to music by many composers. I wrote a setting of it for SATB a cappella in 2008, dedicated to the newly-born Wyoming Catholic College Choir.

In 2018, Matthew Schellhorn invited me to make an arrangement for ATB + organ, to be premiered on the feast of the Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ that year, Sunday, October 28, at the Shrine of St Augustine in Ramsgate, Kent. 

Both versions are included in this download.

(from the "Laudes Regiae":)

Christus vincit, Christus regnat, Christus imperat!

Exaudi, Christe. Ecclesiae sanctae Dei, supra regnorum fines nectenti animas: salus perpetua! Redemptor mundi, tu illam adiuva. Christus vincit . . .

Ipsi soli imperium, laus et iubilatio, per infinita saecula saeculorum. Amen. Christus vincit . . .

TRANSLATION
Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands!

Give ear, O Christ. For the holy Church of God, uniting souls beyond the limits of kingdoms: may she have everlasting weal! Redeemer of the world, grant her assistance. Christ conquers . . .

To Him alone be all power, praise, and jubilation, through endless ages of ages. Amen. Christ conquers . . .
