Antoine Busnois(c. 1430-1492)-Motet: Gaude caelestis Domina (Tutti) Prima pars Gaude caelestis Domina transgressa super agnima que cantant semper carmina tuo benigno filio. Gaude quod tua facies illustret caeli facies tuacue clara species ut mundum sol ex radio Gaude cui obediunt et te revera sitiunt tibi se subiciunt angeli obsequio Gaude quod tui servuli nunc et in fine seculi et hoc in ictu oculi suo fruuntur premio Gaude Deo vicinior et ad precandum potior tu quae cunctis potentior in summo sedes solio. Secunda pars Gaude quod sanctos superas in hoc questo imperas dum ad precandum te preparas ut potens mater filio Gaude quia delectaris dum a nato veneraris ei semper coniungaris tanto digna filio. Gaude quod tua gloria omni carebit tristicia; perpes manes in primia. Deo nos reconcilia Que es mater cum filio ora ut ipso tuo gaudio fungamur in perpetuo Amen. Prima pars Rejoice, heavenly lady who have gone above the throngs that for ever sing hymns to your bounteous Son. Rejoice that your countenance and your beauty light up the face of heaven as the sun lights up the world with it rays. Rejoice, you whom angels obey and truely thirst after, to you they submit with reverence. Rejoice that your servants now and at the end of time and in this blinking of an eye. delight in their reward. Rejoice, you who are nearer God and superior in prayer you who, more powerful than all, sit on the highest throne. Secunda pars Rejoice that you surpass the saints you rule on this dais while you prepare yourself for praying as the powerful mother to your Son. Rejoice because you delight while you are venerated by your Son and are ever joined with him worthy of such a son. Rejoice that your glory will be free from all sadness; you ever remain in the place of honour. Reconcile us to God. Pray, you who are mother with your son, that we may ever partake of this your joy. Amen. The Orlando Consort Robert Harre-Jones-Counterteor Mark Dobell-Tenor Angus Smith-Tenor Donald Grieg-Baritone From 'Antoine Busnois-Missa O Crux lignum-The Orlando Consort' Harmonia Mundi 2005
