Vatican National Anthem
Paul Frey
Playing the National Anthem of the Vatican and Marche Pontificale to honor Pope Francis who has passed this morning. I'm Catholic and to me he was one of the most inspiring pope in the Catholic church. I'm playing the Pontifical March on my Hauptwerk pipe organ using the sampleset of St. Laurenskerk in Rotterdam.
Please find the English text of march here:
O Rome immortal of Martyrs and Saints, O immortal Rome, accept our praises: Glory in the heavens to God our Lord, And peace to men who love Christ! To You we come, Angelic Pastor, In You we see the gentle Redeemer, The Holy Heir of true and holy Faith; Comfort and refuge of those who believe and fight. Force and terror will not prevail, But Truth and Love will reign. Hail, Hail Rome, eternal homeland of memories Your glories sing, a thousand palms and a thousand altars Rome of the Apostles, Mother guide of the redeemed Rome, the light of the people, the world hopes for you! Hail, Hail Rome! your light does not go down Hatred and shame overcomes the splendor of your beauty Rome of the Apostles, guiding mother of the redeemed Rome light of the people, the world hopes for you! --
Original Version: Roma immortale di Martiri e di Santi, Roma immortale accogli i nostri canti: Gloria nei cieli a Dio nostro Signore, Pace ai Fedeli di Cristo nell’amore. A Te veniamo, Angelico Pastore, In Te vediamo il mite Redentore, Erede Santo di vera e santa Fede; Conforto e vanto a chi combatte e crede, Non prevarranno la forza ed il terrore, Ma regneranno la Verità, l’Amore. Salve, Salve Roma, patria eterna di memorie, Cantano le tue glorie mille palme e mille altari. Roma degli apostoli, Madre e guida dei Rendenti, Roma luce delle genti, il mondo spera in te! Salve, Salve Roma, la tua luce non tramonta, Vince l’odio e l’onta lo splendor di tua beltà. Roma degli Apostoli, Madre e guida dei Redenti, Roma luce delle genti, il mondo spera in te! --
This version of the Marche Pontificale was played on the wonderful Marcussen Organ Sampleset for Hauptwerk, produced by Sonus Paradisi. It was played on my Gloria Klassik 352 digital organ sponsored by Kisselbach Germany. Find more information about Kisselbach here: @Kisselbach Kirchenorgeln https://www.kisselbach.de
