Hear St. Peter's choir sing Herbert Murrill's setting of the Magnificat in E. This ancient canticle of the church, also known as The Song of Mary from Luke's gospel, is the Virgin mother's joyful hymn of praise of God's abiding faithfulness to the humble and lowly.
Hear St. Peter's choir sing Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina's "Tu es petrus," a musical setting of Jesus' words to St. Peter', our patron:
You are Peter
Tu es Petrus
and upon this rock I will build my church
et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
et portae inferi non praevalebunt adversus eam.
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
Et tibi dabo claves regni caelorum.
Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.
Quodcumque ligaveris super terram, erit ligatum et in caelis,
and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
et quodcumque solveris super terram, erit solutum et in caelis.
And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
Et tibi dabo claves regni caelorum.
