In dulci jubilo
Choir
Music: Probably 14th century. This arrangement dates from 1834 and is by the English composer R L de Pearsall (1795-1856), who was originally a lawyer, but moved to a Germany in 1825 and devoted himself to music thereafter.
Words: from 14th century when they are said to have been taught to a German mystic by angels. Verse 3 was added in the 16th century.
This is a 'macaronic' carol, which means it's in more than one language. The meanings of the Latin phrases are below:
In dulci jubilo: With sweet jubilation
In praesepio: In a manger
Matris in gremio: In your mother's lap
Alpha es et O: You are Alpha and Omega (the beginning and the end)
O Jesu parvule: O baby Jesus
O puer optime: O best of boys
O princeps gloriae: O prince of glory
Trahe me post te: Take me after you
O Patris caritas: O love of the Father
O nati lenitas: O mercy of the Son
Per nostra criminal: For our sins
Coelorum gaudia: The joys of heaven
Ubi sunt gaudia: Where there are joys
Nova cantica: New songs
In Regis curia: In the courts of the King
