- about
- Recognized during her lifetime as one of the finest composers in Italy, Chiara Margarita Cozzolani spent her entire adult life within the four walls of the musically famous convent of Santa Radegonda in Milan. Contemporary accounts describe the huge crowds that filled the exterior church of the convent to hear the angelic voices of nuns singing Cozzolani's passionate and ecstatic music. On this disc Magnificat has arranged Cozzolani's setting of the Mass ordinary and five of her motets in the context of the Mass for Easter Day. These works are also available as part of the complete works of Cozzolani also available for download and purchase on this page.

Text & English Translation
Lectio Epistolæ beati Pauli Apostoli ad Corinthios. Fratres: Expurgate vetus fermentum, ut sitis nova conspersio, sicut estis azymi. Etenim Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus. Itaque epulemur: non in fermento veteri, neque in fermento malitiæ, et nequitiæ: sed in azymis sinceritatis, et veritatis.
A reading from the letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians. Brethren: Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new dough, as you really are without leaven. For Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep festival, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. - Track Name: Cozzolani - Ave Mater Dilectissima
-
Text & English Translation
Ave mater dilectissima, ave mater pietatis, iam cessa mærere, iam cessa dolere. Post flagra, post crucem devicta morte, ecce quam amas factus immortalis; iam cessa mærere, iam cessa dolere.
Salve, unigenite dilecte mi, fili mi, in auribus meis! Iam læta vivam, iam læta moriar, quia te video triumphantem. Valete, lachymæ, venite, gaudia; quia quem diligit anima mea apparuit mihi. Valete, lachrymæ, venite, gaudia.
Te salutant et venerantur sanctorum patrum animæ quas mecum vides, mater, virgo, et sponsa, Maria. Lætantur tecum et gaudent et mecum dicunt: “Cara mater, iam cessa mærere, iam cessa dolere.”
O amanda societas, O felix cætus, O nobilis corona, avete; congaudio vobis, congratulor mihi de triumpho unigeniti.
Dicamus omnes: “Valete, lachrymæ, venite, gaudia.”
Alleluia.
[Risen Christ]
Hail, most beloved mother, hail, mother of devotion, now cease to mourn, now cease to grieve. After the whips and the cross, death has been overcome, behold Him Whom you love made immortal. Now cease to mourn, cease to grieve.
[Mary]
Hail, my only-born, my beloved, my Son, hail. O how sweet, how soft is Your voice, my Son, in my ears! Now I shall live happy, now I shall die happy, for I see You in triumph. Farewell, tears; come, joys, for He Whom my soul sought has appeared to me. Farewell, tears; come, joys.
[Risen Christ]
The souls of the holy fathers whom you see with me, greet and honor you, mother, virgin, and wife, Mary. They are glad and rejoice with you, and say with me: “Dear mother, now cease to mourn, cease to grieve.”
[Mary]
O loving consort, O happy assembly; O noble circle, hail; I rejoice with you, and call myself happy for the triumph of my only-born Son.
[a 2]
Let us all say: “Farewell, tears; come, joys.”
Alleluia. - Track Name: Sequentia - Victimæ paschali laudes

Text & English Translation
Victimæ pashali laudes immolent Christiani.
Agnus redemit oves:
Christus innocens Patri reconciliavit peccatores.
Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando:
dux vitæ mortuus, regnat vivus.
Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via?
Sepulchrum Christi viventis, et gloriam vidi resurgentis:
Angelicos testes, sudarium, et vestes.
Surrexit Christus spes mea: præcedet suos in Galilæam.
Scimus Christum surrexisse
a mortuis vere: tu nobis, victor Rex, miserere. Amen. Alleluia.
Forth to the Paschal Victim, Christians, bring your sacrifice of praise;
The Lamb redeems the sheep;
and Christ, the sinless one, has to the Father sinners reconciled.
Together, death and life in a strange conflict strove;
the Prince of Life, who died, now lives and reigns.
What thou saw, May, say, as thou went on the way.
I saw the tomb wherein the living One had lain; I saw his glory as he rose again;
Napkin and linen clothes, and Angels twain.
Yea, Christ is risen, my hope, and he will go before you into Galilee.
We know that Christ indeed has risen from the grave. Hail, thou King of Victory, have mercy, Lord, and save. Amen.
Hallelujah. - Track Name: Evangelium - Marcam 16. 1-7.

Text & English Translation
Sequentia sancti Evangelii secundum Marcum. In illo tempore: Maria Magdalene, et Maria Iacobi, et Salome emerunt aromata, ut vinientes ungerent Iesum. Et valde mane una sabbatorum, veniunt ad monumentum, ortu iam sole. Et dicebant ad invicem: Quis revolvet nobis lapidem ab ostio monumenti? Et respicientes viderunt revolutum lapidem. Erat quippe magnus valde. Et introeuntes in monumentum viderunt iuvenum sedentem in dextris, coopertum stola candida, et obstupuerunt. Qui dicit illis: Nolite expavescere: Iesum quæritis Nazarenum, crucifixum: surrexit, non est hic, ecce locus ubi posuerunt eum. Sed ite, dicite discipulis eius, et Petro, quia præcedit vos in Galilæam: ibi eum videbitis, sicut dixit vobis.
The continuation of the Gospel of Saint Mark. At that time, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought spices, that they might go and anoint Jesus. And very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb, when the sun had just risen. And they were saying to one another: “Who will roll back the stone from the entrance of the tomb for us?” And looking up they saw that the stone had been rolled back, for it was very large. But on entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed. He said to them: “Do not be terrified. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, He is not here. Behold the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee; there you shall see him, as he told you. - Track Name: Cozzolani - Messa a 4 - Credo

Credo in unum Deum
Patrem omnipotentem, factorem cœli et terræ, visibilium omnium et invisibilium.
Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum,
Filium Dei unigenitum,
et ex Patre natum ante omnia sæcula.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
Deum verum de Deo vero,
genitum, non factum, consubstatialem Patri;
per quem omnia facta sunt.
Qui propter nos homines et propter nostram
salutem descendit de cœlis.
Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto
ex Maria Virgine, et homo factus est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato;
passus et sepultus est.
Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas.
Et ascendit in cœlum, sedet ad dexteram Patris.
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria,
judicare vivos et mortuos,
cuius regni non erit finis.
Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem:
qui ex Patre Filioque procedit.
Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur
et conglorificatur.
Qui locutus est per Prophetas.
Et in unum, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.
Confiteor unum baptisma
in remissionem peccatorum.
Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum,
et vitam venturi sæculi.
Amen.
I believe in one God
The Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is seen and unseen.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only begotten Son of God.
Born of the Father before all ages.
God of God, Light of Light,
true God of true God.
Begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father,
by whom all things were made.
Who for us and for our salvation
came down from heaven.
And was incarnate by the Holy Spirit
of the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
He was crucified for us: suffered under Pontius Pilate,
and was buried.
And rose on the third day, in fulfillment of Scripture.
And ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father.
And he will come again in glory,
To judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, Lord and giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father.
Who with the Father and the Son is adored
and glorified.
Who has spoken by the prophets.
And in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
I confess one baptism
for the remission of sins.
And I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen. - Track Name: Cozzolani - Bone Iesu, fons amoris

Il Testo
Maria Magdalene stabat ad monumentum foris, plorans; dum ergo fleret, inclinavit se in monumentum, et vidit duos angelos in albis sedentes, et dixit eis:
Maddalena
Nun quem diligit anima mea vidistis?
Angeli
Mulier, quid ploras? Quem quæritis?
Maddalena
Tulerunt Doiminum meum et nescio ubi poserunt eum. Quæsivi per noctem et non inveni.
Angelo Primo
Qualis est dilectus tuus ex dilecto, O pulcherrima mulierum?
Maddalena
Dilectus meus candidus et rubicundus, elctus ex millibus; totus amabilis, totus desiderabilis.
Angelo Secondo
Dic nobis, Maria, quis est dilectus tuus?
Maddalena
Dilectus meus, amor meus speciosus forma præ filiis hominum. Crucifixus Iesus est. O mea lux, ubi es? O amor meus, ubi es? O vita mea, ubi es? Veni, dilecte mi, veni, amore tuo langueo, veni, amore tuo morior.
Angeli
Quid quæritis vivendum cum mortuis? Surrexit, non est hic; praecedet vos in Galileam; alleluia, Maria. Noli amplius plorare, gaude, lætare.
[Tutti]
Dicamus ergo, gaudentes, lætantes, psallentes, amantes, dicamus: alleluia. O dies serena, O lux fortunate, O dies amena, O dies beata, cantemus, psallamus, amenus, canamus, alleluia.
Narrator
Mary Magdalen stood at the tomb, mourning; as she wept, she turned to the tomb, and saw two angels in white sitting there, and said to them:
Magdalen
Have you seen Him whom my soul seeks?
Angels
Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?
Magdalen
They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put Him. I searched for Him in the night and did not find Him.
First Angel
Who is your beloved among beloveds, O most beautiful of women?
Magdalen
My beloved is white and ruddy, chosen among thousands; completely loveable, completely desirable.
Second Angel
Tell us, Mary, who is your beloved?
Magdalen
My beloved, my love is beautiful among the sons of men; He is the crucified Jesus. O my light, where are you? O my love, where are you? O my life, where are you? Come, my beloved, come, for I languish for your love, come, for I am dying for your love.
Angels
Why do you seek the living among the dead? He has risen, he is not here, He will go before you to Galilee, alleluia, Mary. Weep no more, but rejoice and be glad.
[Tutti]
Let us therefore say, jubilant, joyful, singing, loving, let us say: alleluia. O bright day, O fortunate dawn, O sweet day, O blessed day, let us sing songs and psalms, let us love, let us sing: alleluia.
