Description
May 23, 2021 - Sunday of Pentecost: Joy Unfolded. Kyrie, Gott heiliger Geist, BWV 671 – J.S. Bach (1685–1750). Komm, heiliger Geist, Herr Gott – Dietrich Buxtehude (1637–1707). Todos los benes (Cantiga de Santa Maria 427) – attributed to King Alfonso X of Castile, c. 1270. Translation: this song tells how our Lord sent his Spirit among his disciples. I will tell you: the disciples met in one place, standing to receive something they didn't fully understand. At once the earth shook and the sky fell, and they could see tongues of flame descending on them,
that all might be ignited by the Spirit. Then without delay they ran everywhere, shouting to the crowd and making themselves miraculously understood. They said to each other: these are people that don't know how to read in their own languages, much less ours. There was no time to learn, but now we can all hear and respond in all tongues, sweeter than the poets. Refrain: All blessings You give us through your Son, who promises the celestial gift of the Holy Spirit. St. Francis’ Trial – Jo Coenen. Musicians: Matthew Dean, voice, harp, percussion, and flute; Thomas Weisflog, University Organist; Joey Brink, University Carillonneur. Credits: James Kallembach, Director of Chapel Music, Producer; Bill Rohlfing, Sound Engineer; D. Maurice Charles, Dean.
