Notre Père and Ubi Caritas

Maurice Duruflé (1902-1986)

Notre Père

[Sung in Latin]

[English translation:]

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come;

Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those

who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Ubi Caritas

(from Quatre Motets sur des thèmes grégoriens pour chœurs a cappella, Op. 10)

[Sung in Latin]

[English translation:]

Where charity and love are, God is there.

Christ's love has gathered us into one.

Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.

Let us fear, and let us love the living God.

And may we love each other with a sincere heart.

Where charity and love are, God is there.

“Notre Père” and “Ubi Caritas” were recorded by the Houston Chamber Choir in the Grammy® Award-winning album “Duruflé: Complete Choral Works” released in 2019 by Signum Classics.
