Another exciting installment in our continuing Advent series of
recorded live music from me!
O Clavis David, et sceptrum domus Israel;
qui aperis, et nemo claudit;
claudis, et nemo aperit:
veni, et educ vinctum de domo carceris,
sedentem in tenebris, et umbra mortis.
O Key of David and sceptre of the House of Israel;
you open and no one can shut;
you shut and no one can open:
Come and lead the prisoners from the prison house,
those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.
The text comes from Isaiah 22:22 and Isaiah 42:7
Listen Here to a poetic English translation of O Clavis David
