Common of Martyrs

The Aeterna Christi munera is the oldest of the hymns In natali martyrum, and so is the source and inspiration of all other hymns for martyrs.  We have set the original verses of this hymn to two Dominican melodies.

Aeterna Christi Munera

 

Conversion of St. Paul

From the Liturgical Year, Gueranger

“St Peter Damien has consecrated a hymn to the doctor of the Gentile in strains of energetic piety.”

Paule doctor egregie

N.B. We have not found an original melody for this hymn so have set this to an Ambrosian melody.

Another Sequence is more commonly given for Easter Sunday in many manuscripts,
