With my vague Latin, I think this means, Hallelujah, a son is born in Bethlehem today. 

I have been listening to early Western and Eastern church chants while working this evening. Here is an example of Ambrosian Chant: Congratulamini mihi omnes qui diligitis Dominum. 

A wonderful transportation back to the Middle Ages, with beautiful Latin Chant, illuminated manuscripts, and towering cathedrals. Can you imagine it yet? Listen to Campus Stellae. I had this on while writing in my Bullet Journal. 

Absolutely stunning performance of Laudate Dominum (Praise the Lord) from Psalm 150. 

Domenico Scarlatti’s A Minor Salve Regina. I love the interweaving vocal parts in this piece. 

Another performance of Anima Christi. 

I cannot find a Wikipedia entry for this composer, but this extract of music from the BBC’s composer entry for him shows that he must have lived in the Renaissance era. 

Marco Frisina’s Anima Christi.
