A performance of this lovely setting by Palestrina as the anthem for Festal Eucharist for Corpus Christi at Durham Cathedral. The Cathedral generously invited us to provide music for this important service, and this gave us a rare opportunity to perform in the Galilee Chapel, the Westernmost section of the Cathedral and home to the tomb of Saint Bede! Many thanks to those who came along to support the choir.

Latin:
'Sacerdotes Domini incensum et panes offerunt Deo:
et ideo sancti erunt Deo suo et non polluent nomen eius. Alleluia.'

English:
'Then did priests make offering of incense and loaves of finest wheat to God:
and therefore shall they be holy to their Lord and shall not defile his most holy name. Alleluia.'
