remarks
The text is the Benedictus/Magnificat Antiphon for the feast of St Edmund of Abingdon, Confessor Bishop (16 Nov).\r
Translation: « He hath loved justice and hated iniquity, therefore he dies in exile. »\r
We haven't found the official melody for this text yet,\r
so this is a personal composition based on the Magnificat Antiphon 'Sacerdos et Pontifex', score 2223, page 1173 from the Liber Usualis.
