Exsultet - Rejoice!

Many of our readers will be familiar with the Exsultet, the great hymn of praise to the paschal candle, as it appears in the Roman Missal. In Blackfriars Oxford we sing it to a tune adapted from Dominican chant and using a unique translation of the Latin text. Br Bruno Clifton OP sings it here in this setting, with photographs by Br Lawrence Lew OP

  1. Peace to you all, Brothers! I am a member of the Dominican Laity here in the Philippines, and presently serving as the coordinator for Liturgy in our Chinese-Filipino Parish in Binondo, Manila. I would like to ask if it would be possible to obtain a copy of music and text of the Exultet in this post? Thank you very much! - eugene, op
