Edition notes: Source: New Obrecht Edition, Vol. 15, ed. Chris Maas, VNM, 1995. Notation here is a fourth higher than the original, with time values halved. The source gives only the second verse of the eight-verse hymn with both the polyphony and the underlying chant. We have chosen to use verses 1, 2, 6, and 8, alternating chant and polyphony. Translation, text underlay and musica ficta by John Hetland and the Renaissance Street Singers. 16 May 2016

Original text and translations

Latin text Assunt fésta jubiléa in Maríe nunc gáudia; tóta psállat ecclésia devóta láudum drágmata. Cúius sacráta víscera Déi invísit grátia, ut ésset vírgo grávida, thóri vírilis néscia. Clámat ánus cum júbilo pléna Sáncto Paraclíto beáta tu in fílio que credidísti Dómino. Pátri Súmmo cum Fílio quóque Sáncto Paraclíto sit sempitérna glória in unitáte sólida.

English translation The joyous festival is at hand, a joy now in Mary; let the whole church sing devout outpourings of praises. Whose sacred womb the grace of God visited, that a virgin might be pregnant, unknowing of a man's seed. The old woman cries out with joy, full of the Holy Spirit, "Blessed are you in a son, you who believed in the Lord." To the Father on high with the Son, also the Holy Spirit, may glory be everlasting in unshakable unity.
