C'mon now, not everyone is a monoglot.

We picked up the Viadana "Exultate Justi in Domino" tonight at choir practice. I sang it 2-3 times in my old (Episcopal) church, and amazingly all the Latin just rolled out. I didn't even need the music (which was good because we were short on copies.)

Exultate Justi

Isn't that nice?

Exultate justi in Domino;
rectos decet collaudatio.
Confitemini Domino in cithara;
in psalterio decem chordarum, psallite illi.
Cantate ei canticum novum;
bene psallite ei in voci feratione.
Quia rectum est verbum Domini,
et omnia opera ejus in fide.
Diligit misericordiam et judicium,
misericordia Domini, plena est terra.

Rejoice o ye just in the Lord
for the upright is worthy of praise.
Sing praises to the Lord with the harp,
Praise him with the psaltery of ten strings.
Sing to him a new song,
Sing praises to him with a loud voice.
For the word of the Lord is right,
and his works are done in truth.
He loves righteousness and judgement,
the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

(of course now it's stuck in my head. But it's better to have GOOD music stuck in your head . . . )

Of course I never meant to include you in that mono-glot category.
