Sicut Cervus Parts Link: • Sicut Cervus-Palestrina • Score Choir Practice: (key of A-flat) “Sicut cervus” , by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525–1594), is from the Latin text of Psalm 42: As the deer longs for flowing waters, so longs my soul for you, O God. As water has a symbolic meaning within the Christian tradition, the Psalm text resonates with the waters of Baptism as well as the living water of the Eucharist. “Sicut cervus” is identified with Easter Vigil as new converts to the faith are brought forth for Holy Baptism, and thus celebrate their first Communion on the day of Christ's victory. Also, the soul's longing for union with God can be fulfilled in the reception of the Eucharist, making Sicut cervus an excellent choice for any Communion-time meditation. • • Latin: “Sic-ut , cer-vus de-si-de-rat ad fon-tes a-qua-rum,” • “i-ta de-si-de-rat a-ni-ma me-a ad te De-us. • Pronunciation: • See-koot chehr-voos deh-see-deh-raht ahd fohn-tehs ah- kwah-room, • ee-tah deh-see-deh-raht ah-nee-mah meh-ah ahd teh Deh-oos. • • As the deer thirsts for the waters, so my soul longs for Thee, O God!
