Works of Lili Boulanger. Everest,[1960?] 

 Du fond de l'abîme;(Psalm 130)

Out of the depths I call to you, LORD;

 Lord, hear my cry! May your ears be attentive

to my cry for mercy 

If you, LORD, keep account of sins,

Lord, who can stand?

But with you is forgiveness

and so you are revered.

I wait for the LORD,

my soul waits

and I hope for his word.

My soul looks for the Lord

more than sentinels for daybreak.

More than sentinels for daybreak,

let Israel hope in the LORD,

For with the LORD is mercy,

with him is plenteous redemption,

And he will redeem Israel

from all its sins.

 Psaume 24

The earth is the LORD’s and all it holds,

the world and those who dwell in it.

For he founded it on the seas,

established it over the rivers.

Who may go up the mountain of the LORD?

Who can stand in his holy place?

The clean of hand and pure of heart,

who has not given his soul to useless things,

what is vain.

He will receive blessings from the LORD,

and justice from his saving God.

Such is the generation that seeks him,

that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.”

Lift up your heads, O gates;

be lifted, you ancient portals,

that the king of glory may enter.

Who is this king of glory?

The LORD, strong and mighty,

the LORD, mighty in war.

Lift up your heads, O gates;

rise up, you ancient portals,

that the king of glory may enter.

Who is this king of glory?

The LORD of hosts, he is the king of glory.

Psaume 129

Viciously have they attacked me from my youth,

let Israel say now.

Viciously have they attacked me from my youth,

yet they have not prevailed against me.

Upon my back the plowers plowed,

as they traced their long furrows.

But the just LORD cut me free

from the ropes of the wicked.

May they recoil in disgrace,

all who hate Zion.

May they be like grass on the rooftops

withered in early growth,

Never to fill the reaper’s hands,

nor the arms of the binders of sheaves,

And with none passing by to call out:

“The blessing of the LORD be upon you!

We bless you in the name of the LORD!”

Josquin des Prez

Josquin des Prez  c. 1450/1455 – 27 August 1521), often referred to simply as Josquin, was a Netherlander composer of the Renaissance.    His motet Illibata Dei virgo nutrix includes an acrostic of his name, where he spelled it "Josquin des Prez" He was the most famous European composer between Guillaume Dufay and Palestrina, and is usually considered to be the central figure of the Franco-Flemish School. Josquin is widely considered by music scholars to be the first master of the high Renaissance style of polyphonic vocal music that was emerging during his lifetime.
