Ibant Magi for 2 OT-C

Heath

I set this two cycles ago, but I don't think I ever shared it. If you have some good readers, this one works beautifully for THIS Sunday! (2 OT-C)

(A couple typesetting infelicities, my apologies)

OMagnumMysterium

How nice!
Are there any restrictions on use, if say, I wanted to include this in a larger collection of compiled pieces? This is basically a vernacular hymn in terms of genre, right? You're not intending at as a choir only piece? I have been finding a lack of good hymns for the Epiphany and following Sundays.

Heath

OMM, do with it what you will! I combined a metrical translation that I liked with a wonderful melody/harmonization, but beyond that I can zero ownership. Enjoy!

OMagnumMysterium

Cool. Are the text and music just from the public domain then?

Heath

Correct. I wish I had written down where I got the Vulpius melody (it's fabulous), but some googling should find it. Same with the text...can't remember the translator, but it will pop up quickly in a search.

This appears to be the full JS Bach harmonization: https://hymnary.org/page/fetch/PH1958/209/high

And this is the source of the text: an 1854 translation by Richard Massie of hymns of Martin Luther (pdf pp 50-51; book pp 13-14):
