Two Gregorian melodies seem to have been used interchangably for these hymns (to go by Fasola's rubric "Serve anco alla festa di tutti i Santi"). The [[Liber usualis]] and more recent books give that starting do-re-mi-sol for the Christmas hymn and sol-la-sol-sol-fa-la do-do-ti for All Saints. Organ settings of the first have been written by Bull (cxxv in the Fitzwilliam book), Cavazzoni (a single verse in ''Intabulatura d'organo'', 1543), Frescobaldi (3vv. preserved in Chigi Q VIII 205) and Fasolo (3vv. & a doxology "''Gloria tibi''" for accompanied trebles in ''Annuale'', 1645). Cabezon's posthumous ''Obras'' (1570) contains a "Christe redemptor" to a less recognizable tune.

Revision as of 00:54, 4 July 2021

Christe Redemptor omnium is the incipit to two different Office hymns.

Christe Redemptor omnium ex Patre is used for Vespers during the Christmas season. It was revised as Jesu redemptor omnium in the 17c. Recent Anglican & Lutheran hymnals feature Gilbert Doan's version "O Savior of our fallen race" (ç1978).

Christe Redemptor omnium, conserva is for first and second Vespers of the Feast of All Saints (Nov. 1).

Two Gregorian melodies seem to have been used interchangably for these hymns (to go by Fasola's rubric "Serve anco alla festa di tutti i Santi"). The Liber usualis and more recent books give that starting do-re-mi-sol for the Christmas hymn and sol-la-sol-sol-fa-la do-do-ti for All Saints. Organ settings of the first have been written by Bull (cxxv in the Fitzwilliam book), Cavazzoni (a single verse in Intabulatura d'organo, 1543), Frescobaldi (3vv. preserved in Chigi Q VIII 205) and Fasolo (3vv. & a doxology "Gloria tibi" for accompanied trebles in Annuale, 1645). Cabezon's posthumous Obras (1570) contains a "Christe redemptor" to a less recognizable tune.

1  JESU, the Father's only Son,
whose death for all redemption won,
before the worlds, of God most high,
begotten all ineffably.1
2  The Father's Light and Splendour Thou
their endless Hope to Thee that bow:
accept the prayers and praise today
that through the world Thy servants pay.
3  Salvation's author, call to mind
how, taking the form of humankind,
born of a Virgin undefiled,
Thou in man's flesh becamest a Child.
4  Thus testifies the present day
Through every year in long array,
that Thou, salvation's source alone

5  Whence sky, and stars, and sea's abyss,
and earth, and all that therein is,

6  And we who, by Thy precious Blood
from sin redeemed, are marked for God,
on this, the day that saw Thy Birth,
sing the new song of ransomed earth.
7  All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Iesu, Virgin-born, to Thee;
whom with the Father we adore,
and Holy Ghost forevermore. Amen.

(John Mason Neale, 1818-1866)

1 Neale follows Urban VIII's 1632 Roman Brevary, where the first verse reads:

 

1  Iesu, Redemptor omnium
quem lucis ante originem
parem Paternae gloriae
Pater supremus edidit.
