General Information
Title: Eya recolamus
Composer: Anonymous
Number of voices: 3vv Voicing: SAA
Genre: Sacred, Sequence hymn for the 2nd Mass of Christmas
Language: Latin

Manuscript post 1445 in the Trent codices 93, no. 93-167
Description: “In Nativitate Domini in aurora sequentia” transcribed from the Trent manuscript tr93. The time signature and the notes' values are as in the manuscript. The traditional melody (Graduale Pataviense c. 195r) is paraphrased at the Superius. The missing Contra part in the 3rd verse has been derived from the Superius using the “faulxbourdon” technique. The notes' values within the "ligaturæ" are as follows: the left upstemmed notes are semibreves - the unstemmed note is a brevis - the right downstemmed note is a longa. The "musica ficta" suggestions are in the MIDI and MusicXML files.

Latin text
Eya recolamus laudibus piis digna.
Huius diei carmina in qua nobis lux oritur gratissima.
(Noctis interit nebula pereunt nostri criminis umbracula.)
Hodie saeculo maris stella (est) enixa novae salutis gaudia
(Quem tremunt baratra mors cruenta pavet ipsa a quo peribit mortua.)
Gemit capta pestis antiqua coluber lividus perdit spolia.
(Homo lapsus ovis abducta revocatur ad superna gaudia.)
Gaudent (in) hac die agmina angelorum celestia.
(Quia erat dragma decima perdita et est inuenta.)
O culpa nimium beata qua redempta est natura.
(Deus qui creavit omnia nascitur ex femina.)
Mirabilis natura mirifice induta assumens quod non erat manens quod erat.
(Induitur natura divinitas humana quis audivit talia die rogo facta.
Querere venerat pastor pius quod perierat.
Induit galeam certat ut miles armatura.
Sublatus in sua propria ruit hostis spicula auferuntur tela
In quibus fidebat divisa sunt illius spolia capta preda sua.
Christi pugna fortissima salus vera est nostra.
Qui nos suam ad patriam duxit post victoriam.
In qua laus sibi est eterna.)
