Samuel Scheidt


1587–1654



Samuel Scheidt at youtube.com



This next is a really unusual modern realization, a vocaloid,
of Duo Seraphim by the seventeenth-century German composer Samuel Scheidt
from twenty-first-century Japan.
Talk about multiculturalism!
Note: The music doesn’t start until 0:20.

Original Text English Translation
Duo seraphim clamabant, alter ad alterum:
Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Plena est omnis terra gloria ejus.
Tres sunt qui testimonium dant in coelo.
Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus Sanctus
et hic tres unum sunt.
Laus et perennis gloria
Deo Patri cum Filio,
sancto simul Paraclito in sempiterna secula.
The two Seraphim proclaimed, one to the other:
Holy Lord God of Hosts.
The whole earth is full of his glory.
There are three who give testimony in heaven:
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit;
and these three are one.
Praise and continuing glory
be to God the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit now and forevermore.

What glorious music!


Likewise!


A suite for brass:
