Let’s start the first Monday of 2011 with a look back – way back – to some finely produced videos of Mozarabic Chant.
Here is a bit of the YouTube description of the work:
The chant is an heavily-abridged version of Daniel 3:49-52, 57, 88. These verses are not present in 66-book Bibles i.e. ones lacking the Deuteronicals aka the Apocrypha; note that this ‘missing’ section (comprising a total of 66 verses), also known as “The Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the Three Young Men”, comes between Daniel 3:23-24 in the Greek Septuagint, and eventually, in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles. This same section are also used as a hymn within Eastern Orthodoxy, the Church of England, and the Lutheran Churches.
In case you were wondering, I found out about this video because I follow this website.
