GREGORIAN Tota Pulchra Es - Catholic Hymns of Praise #tag: his isn't the typical Tota Pulchra es, more well known. It is close
though, and very well chanted. I have included the lyrics and rough
translation below:
Tota Pulchra es, O Maria, tota pulchra es, et macula non est in te. Quam
speciosa, quam suavis in deliciis conceptio illibata! Veni, veni de
Libano, veni, veni de Libano, veni, veni, coronaberis. Tu progrederis ut aurora valde rutilans, affers gaudia salutis. Per te ortus est Christus Deus, sol justitiae, o fulgida porta lucis. Veni, veni de Libano... Sicut lilium inter spinas: inter filias sic tu Virgo benedicta. Tuum refulget vestimentum ut nix candidum, sicut sol facies tua. Veni, veni de Libano...
All fair art thou, O Mary, all fair art thou, and stain does not exist in thee. How
lovely, how sweet in its delights, thy conception unstained. Come,
come from Lebannon, Come, come from Lebannon, Come, come, thou shalt
be crowned! Thou goest forth like the dawn exceedingly rose-colored,
thou bringest the joys of salvation, through thee risen is Christ our
God, The sun of Justice, o gleaming portal of light. Come, come from Lebannon... Like a lily amidst brambles; among the daughters so are thou, O Virgin blest. Thy shining raiment like snow is white, even as the sun is the face of thee. Come, come from Lebannon...
