I came across a video of the full Holy Rosary chanted in Latin on youtube and thought that some forum members would appreciate it. That's the first video posted below. When I read in the comments section that the Creed is the Nicene Creed, I went looking for another similar video and found the second video. I don't know which Creed is included in the second video, but it's also Latin Gregorian Chant. It sounds like the same people chanting the creed but there are different singers for the rest of the rosary. Enjoy.
I'm also a great lover of Gregorian Chant (in addition to contemporary songs of praise that I've just posted on another thread - http://motheofgod.com/threads/the-vatican-has-fallen.10058/page-223#post-197654 ). But I get annoyed when I hear that the organ is silent on most recordings. There is some organ accompaniment on the video Dolours has posted but it is mainly missing. However, a link alongside that video took me to what, for me, is a PERFECT piece of chant, perfect in itself and perfectly sung and accompanied. Here it is:
I think it is a beautiful thing to learn the traditional Latin prayers. Several years back as I was struggling through a very bad situation, I decided to or should I say, resolved to learn a few, starting with the Ave Maria,.. This I did by listening to videos such as the one below. Starting with one line at a time until I knew it, then I could tie it all together until I could say the whole prayer without looking at the words. Then I went on to the Pater Noster. Well anyway after a years time I was finally able to recite the entire rosary in Latin. The creed being the biggest challenge, but possible. I looked at it as a challenge and as with anything we may take on for the love of God, He does not make it easy, but I do think it is a beautiful thing to do, and it also helped me in my great struggle to focus on this challenge.
I did this as well with my five littles. We started out with the Ave, then the Gloria, Pater Noster, O Jesu Mi (the Fatima O My Jesus forgive us our sins prayer), Salve Regina, and then the most difficult, the Apostles creed. It’s definitely worth it, in my opinion. We feel that we’ve enriched our family rosary time and it gives a feeling of timeless union to our Catholic Faith
Thank you, Sunburst, for this. I learned the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be to the Father in school but have forgotten all but the Our Father. I'm going to learn them again to be ready should the Latin Mass come to my neck of the woods.
