Quatre motets pour le temps de Noël

Francis Poulenc (1899 – 1963)

Videntes stellam

Videntes stellam Magi gavisi sunt gaudio magno
The wise men saw the star with great gladness
Et intrantes domum obtulerunt Domino aurum, thus et myrrham.
And they went to offer the Lord gold, frankincense and myrrh.
