Commentary

Intabulation for two vihuelas at the fifth of the Prima pars of Morales’ six-voice motet “Jubilate Deo omnis terra”. The rubric for the Vihuela mayor reads: “Here follows a motet in six voices on a plainsong, the said cantus firmus played by the vihuela menor and indicated with puntillos in the tablature. The tuning is at the fifth as in the previous piece, to be played according to the indicated tempo” The motet was composed by Morales in 1538 at the request of Pope Paul III (Alexander Farnese) to celebrate the end of the conflict between Charles V and François I and the signing of a truce in Nice in 1538. The text includes a miscellany of Psalm verses.

Song Text

Jubilate Deo omnis terra,
cantate omnes, jubilate et psallite
quoniam suadente Paulo,
Carolus et Franciscus,
principes terrae,
convenerunt in unum
et pax de caelo descendit.
 
O felix aetas, O felix Paule,
O vos felices principes
qui christiano populo,
pacem tradidistis.
Vivat Paulus! Vivat Carolus!
Vivat Franciscus!
Vivant, vivant simul
et pacem nobis donent in aeternum!

Let all the earth celebrate God
Sing, all of you, celebrate and sing psalms,
As Paul invites us to do,
Charles and Francis,
Princes of the earth
Who have agreed
For peace to come down from heaven.

Oh happy time!
Oh happy Paul
And you happy princes
Who have brought peace to the Christian people
Long live Paul! Long live Charles!
Long live Francis!
May they live, may they live
And at the same time give us peace for eternity3
