Gaudeat Ecclesia (Ordinary Time)

Words: Robert Loretz (translated or newly written)
Music: 13th Century Traditional
The words are adapted for the English language, and other verses are newly composed. The chorus is half in English and half in the original Latin: 'Eya et eya, regia egregia, gaudeat ecclesia!', which means: 'Eya and eya (an expression of joy), the magnificent royal Church rejoices!' The music has a lilting energy which gives a joyful celebratory mood. It is in the Dorian Mode.
