Description: "Medieval hymnographers also loved the trick used in this hymn, in which the last line of each stanza is the title (i.e. first line) of another hymn. (A similarly constructed piece is sung in the Cisterican Office of St Bernard.) The hymns thus quoted are all from the repertoire generally found in all medieval Uses of the Office.
Christe redemptor omnium - from Vespers of Christmas, pre-Urban VIII Aeterna Christi munera - from the Common of Apostles Vexilla regis prodeunt - from Vespers of Passiontide Beata nobis gaudia - from Lauds of Pentecost." --Gregory di Pippo, New Liturgical Movement (4 Oct. 2017)
