Pange Lingua & Exultet

I wrote last year, about Holy Week, and about the glorious and mysterious chant, the Pange Lingua.

Sing, my tongue, the Savior’s glory,
Of His flesh the mystery sing,
Of the blood, all price exceeding,
Shed by our immortal King,
Destined, for the world’s redemption,
From a noble womb to spring.

You can hear a wonderful version, in Latin, Chant Blog

Beautiful as this is, nothing compares to the great chant of Easter, the Exultet. It is the duty and privilege of the Deacon to sing this glorious, intricate chant and Deacon Greg writes of his ongoing efforts to learn the thing via this particularly good mp3.

    Thanks so much for pointing to this wonderful Exultet chant.
    I’m going to see how I can incorporate this on my site.

    I’ve designed an, I hope, thought-provoking Easter Season symbol at

    “Having been condemned to death, I have reflected a long time on the value of life” wrote Magdi Allam, a Muslim and deputy director of Corriere della Sera, Italy’s leading newspaper, when he wrote about threats to his life……
