Triplum and Contratenor I
Apostolo glorioso, da Dio electo
A evangelegiare al populo Greco
La sua incarnacion che vera ceco,
Et cusi festi senza alcun suspecto,
Et eligisti Patrasso per tuo lecto,
Et per sepulcro questo sancto speco:
Prego te, preghi me retrove teco,
per li tuoi merci, nel devin conspecto.
Motetus and Contratenor II
Cum tua doctrina convertisti a Cristo
Tuto el paese, et cum la passione et morte
Che qui portasti in croce in su lo olivo.
Mo é prolasso in errore et facto tristo,
Si che rempetraglie gracia si forte
Che recognoscano Dio vero et vivo.
Tenor
Andreas famulus Christi.

Glorious apostle, chosen by God
Language: English after the Italian - Medieval (Volgare)
Triplum / Contratenor I
Glorious apostle, chosen by God
To bring the Good News to the Greek people
Of his incarnation to which they were truly blind,
You who did this without any shame
And chose Patras for your bed
And this holy cave as your tomb:
I pray to you, please take me with you
By your mercy into God's sight.
Motetus / Contratenor II
With your teaching you converted to Christ
The whole country, and with the suffering and death
Which you bore on a cross above the olive tree.
Now they have fallen into error and sad misdeeds,
So grant them again your grace so strongly
That they will recognise God as true and living.
Tenor
Andrew servant of Christ.
Note: For the dedication of a church of St Andrew in Patras, Greece
