O Antiphons
HALLOW ORIGINAL: Meditate with these beautiful prayers chanted exclusively for Hallow by Rebekah Wu at the Holy Rosary Chapel in San Rafael, California. These antiphons are rich Scriptural images that proclaim the coming of Christ, and they are traditionally recited with the Magnificat canticle during the Church's Evening Prayer from December 17-23.
Learn and pray the O Antiphons with Hallow's original production of O Antiphons with Rebekah Wu, a talented soprano singer and member of the Benedict Sixteen Choir.
The "O Antiphons", also known as the Great Advent Antiphons, use imagery from the Bible to proclaim the coming arrival of Christ and are sung during the Church's evening prayer (known as "Vespers) from December 17 through December 23 (the day before Christmas Eve).
You may be more familiar with O Antiphons in their collective form through the song "O Come, O Come Emmanuel."
These O Antiphons audio sessions from Hallow include all 7 antiphones:
O Sapientia - O Wisdom
O Adonai - O Lord Most High
O Radix Jesse- O Root of Jesse
O Clavis David - O Key of David
O Oriens - O Radiant Dawn
O Rex Gentium - O King of Nations
O Emmanuel - O Emmanuel
It also includes Puer Natus, Viderunt Omnes, Dies Santificatus and Exsultet Guadio--hymns sung on Christmas to celebrate the birh of Jesus.
