This Advent motet for SATB choir and piano sets a unique and rarely sung Latin text describing the birth of Jesus.
Mirabile mysterium declaratur hodie:
Innovantur naturae:
Deus homo factus est.
Id, quod fuit, permansit,
et quod nonerat assumpsit:
Non commixtionem passus,
neque divisionem.
Translation:
Wonderful mystery revealed today:
Natures are renewed:
God is become man.
That which he was remained,
and what he was not he assumed:
Suffering neither mixture nor division.
