O Emmanuel, Rex et legifer noster,
expectatio gentium, et Salvator earum:
veni ad salvandum nos, Domine, Deus noster.
O Emmanuel, our king and lawgiver,
the desire of all nations and their salvation:
come and save us, O Lord our God.
Latin: plainchant
English: Peter Hallock
Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Cincinnati
Finding new settings of this one on YouTube was hard because there must be a googleplex of O Come O Come Emmanuel renditions there. I tried one after another ever more specific search but was reduced to typing individual composers names in. So much for the sophistication of search engine aphorisms being artificially intelligent. More on that on the Feast of Adam and Eve or of Creation, as I prefer to think of the 24th.
