Lyrics: Anon

Plaudat nunc organis Maria, et inter veloces articulos tympana puerperae concrepent.
Concinant laetantes chori, et alternantibus modulis dulcisona carmina misceantur.
Audite ergo quemadmodum timpanistria nostra cantaverit.
Ait enim: Magnificat anima mea Dominum: et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo.

Maria now gives praise on instruments, and let the timbrels rattle in rapid beats for a new birth.
Joyful quiristers celebrate in song, and in differing measures add their sweet-sounding songs.
Listen then how our timbrellist celebrates through music.
For she affirms: "My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour".
