General Information
Title: O quam glorifica II
Composer: Anonymous
Number of voices: 3vv Voicing: SST/SAT
Genre: Sacred, Hymn
Language: Latin
Instruments: a cappella
Published:
Description: A Blessed Virgin Mary hymn transcribed from the Trent manuscript tr87. The time signatures, notes' values and colourings are as in the manuscript, the perfect notes are dotted. The coloured are in "proportio sesquialtera" (3 vs. 2). The 3rd voice is puzzling: it's clearly an added voice, alternative to the 2nd voice but with also several conflicting mesures with the 1st one, moreover it's not always readable. Its use with or without changes is left to the performer's judgement. The notes' values within the ligaturæ are as follows: the left upstemmed notes are semibreves - the unstemmed notes are breves - the right downstemmed notes are longæ.

Original text and translations
Latin text
O quam glorifica luce coruscas,
Stirpis Davidicæ regia proles.
Sublimis Virgo Maria,
Supra cæligenas ætheris omnes.
Tu cum virgineo mater honore,
Angelorum Domino pectoris aulam
Sacris visceribus casta parasti;
Natus hinc Deus est corpore Christus.
Quem cunctus venerans orbis adorat,
cui nunc rite genuflectitur omne;
A quo nos petimus te subveniente,
Abjectis tenebris, gaudia lucis.
Hoc largire Pater luminis omnis,
Natum per proprium, Flamine sacro,
Qui tecum nitida vivit in æthera
Regnans, ac moderans sæcula cuncta.
Amen.
