English: And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome had brought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. Alleluia.

You can check this album out: Tallis Scholars – The Best of the Renaissance? or the music of Gabriel Fauré, Gregorio Allegri. Album Cinema Choral Classics is also worth of seeing.

Jacobitejim January 25, 2012 at 5:50 pm: I think it is superb. It works up a glorious “alleluia” which so brilliantly captures the inner feeling of the two women upon arriving at the tomb to anoint the body when they discover that it is not there? but that He has risen from the dead. It is a brilliantly powerful image, musically and in every way.
Jacobitejim January 25, 2012 at 6:48 pm: It isa setting of the first verses of Ch 16 of St Mark’s Gospel – dum transisset sabbatum Maria Magdalene et Maria Iacobi et Salome emerunt aromata ut venientes unguerent eum et valde mane una sabbatorum veniunt ad monumentum orto iam sole – “when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus. Very early in the morning, the first day of? the week, they came to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen”.
