Tacuit in praesepio illa nocte hiemali gelida, laeta nocte illa.
In praesepio nulla telephonicula, nulli vestigatores, nullae cicadae, nee alia molesta . . .
It was quiet in the manger that cold winter night, that joyous night
long ago.
There were no cell phones in the manger, nor pagers, nor beepers, nor other noisy things . . .
Thanks to Larry Lipkis (English text) and Dennis Glew (Latin translation)
for "Tacuit in praesepio" (excerpt above), performed December 15, 2013,
during the Moravian College Christmas Vespers Service in Central Moravian Church,
