Oh! Where the rest of my post go?! Here's what disappeared ... A recent discovery has pushed back the earliest known polyphony to the 10th century. I'd like to play it using harp as the second voice, in Latin then English (so everyone can hear the words). However, I can't get the third line. In Latin ... Sancte bonifati martyr inclite Christi te quesumus ut nos tuis precibus semper gratiae Dei commendare digneris In English ... Saint Boniface glorious martyr of Christ We beseech thee to thy prayers Always God's grace commend/recommend?? you deem/deign/condescend?? (Is it something like, 'You always condescend to give God's grace'?) Any help from Latin speakers will be much appreciated.
