Ascendit Deus
Psalm 47(46):6
Offertory, Ascension of the Lord
A piece of chant that's as evocative as a film--big-sky effects, trumpet calls, real jubilation.
Latin text:
Ascendit Deus in iubilatione, Dominus in voce tubae, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
English text:
God mounts the throne amid shouts of joy; the LORD, amid trumpet blasts.

The recording is merely acceptable. It shows how the chant can be sung. I'd like to hear it sung powerfully and exuberantly by an accomplished vocalist.
