Original Text

Ecce virgo concipiet,
et pariet filium:
Et vocabitur nomen ejus admirabilis,
Deus Fortis.
Super solium David,
et super regnum ejus
sedebit in aeternum,
Et vocabitur nomen ejus admirabilis,
Deus Fortis.

English Translation

Behold! the Virgin will conceive,
and she will bear a son:
And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God!
Over the throne of David
and over his kingdom,
he will reign forever,
And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God!


This piece was performed by the SFBC in Renaissance Christmas Music from Spain and the New World on December 6, 1997.
