"Battle of Lepanto" is a song commissioned by one of our fans, Eryn Huntington and several of her friends. We hope you enjoy it:)
Happy Feast of the Holy Rosary!
Song Description:
We wrote this piece in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary under her titles of: Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, Our Lady of Victory, and Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Battle of Lepanto was Oct 7, 1571.
The piece begins with string tones inspired from a charting of Our Lady of Guadalupe's Tilma. Next follows a motif from a hymn "O Queen of the Holy Rosary" sounded by a clarinet. (The piece ends with this same motif). Next begins the Gregorian chant "Ave Maria". This is paused to begin the historic content of the piece. We used lyrics from G.K. Chesterton's "Lepanto" as the body of the pieces to drive the story forward. We made the refrain from various prayers or sayings. "Confugimus, Sancta Dei Genitrix, and Sub Tuum Praesidium" are all phrases within a very ancient prayer to the Blessed Virgin that begins "Sub Tuum Praesidium". The words "Signum Magnum" appear in the book of the Apocalypse (Revelation) 12:1 - "And a great sign appeared in heaven" and is used as the introit from the Mass of the Assumption (Aug. 15). The words "in hoc signum vinces" are taken from a vision that Constantine had before taking Rome: "In this sign you shall conquer". While in his case, the sign was the cross, we wanted to demonstrate that in this battle, and in our lives, it is by the sign of Our Lady that we shall conquer...specifically the Rosary.
The entire translation of the Latin refrain is as follows:
Confugimus - We fly unto thee
Sancta Dei Genitrix - Holy Mother of God
Signum Magnum - A great sign
In hoc signum vinces - by this sign, you shall conquer
Confugimus
Sub tuum praesidium - Under thy protection
Guadalupe - (A title of Our Lady taken from a word that means "one who will crush the serpent's head)
In hoc signum vinces
In the verse "Galleys clash..." we wanted to show that we are still fighting for our souls through our prayers to Our Lady. "Fingers worn now draw forth their beads" - We specifically thought of the prayers of the religious, whose fingers are worn not so much from toil so to speak, but from rigorous prayer.
We composed and arranged the piece. My family sang it.
Please no bad language in the comments. We want this to be family friendly:) Thank you!
Lyrics:
Battle of Lepanto
Ave Maria
Gratia plena All men
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
They have dared the white republics up the capes of Italy,
They have dashed the Adriatic round the Lion of the Sea,
And the Pope has cast his arms abroad for agony and loss,
And called the kings of Christendom for swords about the Cross,
Chorus
CONFUGIMUS
SANCTA DEI GENITRIX
SIGNUM MAGNUM
IN HOC SIGNUM VINCES
CONFUGIMUS
SUB TUUM PRAESIDIUM
GUADALUPE
IN HOC SIGNUM VINCES
The Pope was in his chapel before day or battle broke,
(Don John of Austria is hidden in the smoke.)
He sees as in a mirror on the monstrous twilight sea
The crescent of his cruel ships whose name is mystery;
St. Michael’s on his mountain in the sea-roads of the north
(And now Don John of Austria is girt and going forth.)
He shakes his lance of iron and he claps his wings of stone;
The noise is gone through Normandy; the noise is gone alone;
Chorus
Et benedictus fructus ventris tui Jesus
Sancta Maria
Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
Where, risen from a doubtful seat and half attainted stall,
The last knight of Europe taketh weapons from the wall,
The last and lingering troubadour to whom the bird has sung,
That once went singing southward when all the world was young,
In that enormous silence, tiny and unafraid,
Comes up along a winding road the noise of the Crusade.
Strong gongs groaning as the guns boom far,
Now Don John of Austria is going to the war,
Chorus
BRIDGE:
Galleys clash, a battle of creeds,
Fingers worn now draw forth their beads
Many Aves pierce the sky
Victory shall come from on High
Chorus

Long live Holy Mary and long live the Holy Roman Catholic Apostolic Church
Today its my 17 birthday and this is probably the best gift i recived : ) a hug from argentina guys, love u...
Hey guys! I found your channel last year and I love it! Keep it up!
Is it based off of the Chesterton poem?
...how does one commission a song? I assume it's easier than walking into Mordor.
"There is no paradise for cowards!"
-D. Juan de Austria, Holy League fleet commander, before the Battle of Lepanto
And with the victory or Lepanto, devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary started. You show me an army that devoutly and reverently prays the Rosary, and I'll show you an army that will never be defeated in battle.
Devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary was older that Lepanto. It was the Rosary that destroyed the Albigensian heresy in the 1200s.
This is my 6 yo son's favorite song. He gave our church a free concert during Mass today from our very echo-y bathrooms. The whole church could hear him belting out the chorus.😂
The beginning is the only Latin I know because it is the Hail Mary. The Blessed Mother is loving and Christ loves her.
One of my ancestors was a Knight of the Order of Saint John in this battle. don’t know much about him at all, but my family very much celebrates this event. Ave Christus Rex!
How's that work? Weren't the Knightly Orders celibate?
@@toasterofdoom9629 yes, but only until retirement and with certain exceptions.
My 22nd Great Grandfather was a knight on the 3rd Crusade with King Richard Coeur d’ Leon. This is pure glory when we fought Ottoman tryanny.
No. Only glorius templar. Look at the Knights of the Order of the Garter and see that they are not celibate! Neither are the Teutonic order, which still exist.
Vivat Christus Rex!
I am an Orthodox Christian and have much love for my traditional Catholic brothers. May we eventually - with Christ’s help - be One Church again. Through the intercession(s) of Our Lady, Our Lord blessed the mighty warriors at Lepanto; may He bless all of you here as well! ☦️
Christ is risen☦️
As a catholic, i hope your way will be filled of joy. May the Christ be with you !
@@sillythewanderer4221
Indeed He is risen!
@@lhistoireavecungrandh7429
Thank you! 😊
Much to my surprise, mending the Schism looks like it might actually happen in out lifetime.
As someone who live in Spain. I love this song. Thank you very much Clamavi Profundis.
Where in Spain?

I'm Brazilian and I really admire your songs may our lady bless you

She does

Viva Cristo Rei!! Salve Maria, nossa Mãe Santíssima!
@@AnaClaudia-ic5pn Salve Maria!
There's truly nothing like hearing Clamavi De Profundis sing in Latin.
As a Spaniard raised in the old Lepanto Barracks in Barcelona, this song really has really touched me... I think I may have listened to it more than 30 times in a day :) Masterpiece!
My favorite musicians singing an adaptation of my favorite poem? This is truly a great day. My only regret is that it couldn't be a word-for-word recreation of the poem, but I understand that changes are necessary to translate poetry into song effectively, so that's OK. God Bless!
This song is 8:25 long. It always feels like it’s over in 2 minutes. That’s how incredible it is.😊
Thank you. My family (Malanotti and Manfroni) served the (HRE)/Hapsburg court at this time. The Cologna and Maffei families of Rome served the Pope. We are proud to have served in the taking of Jerusalem in 1099, the saving of Vienna and spilling our blood in the taking of Belgrade. Deus Vult.
Usually I'm the only one who listens to you guys in my family, but this song changed that. My little brother (9) is especially in love with this song. He likes the rosary (especially in Latin) so he loved the incorporated Hail Mary.
Absolutely amazing. The Battle of Lepanto is one of my favorite poems. I would love to hear a full version someday!
Great work CDP! Thank you for another incredible work.
i recall one of the most sit up straight and lean forwards moment in church was when one of the Fathers began to reference this event. Felt like a greater tie to our continuity than many others.
I'm from Spain and this is amazing. Thank you for this incredible our song. I wish more Spanish people were aware of their own History
Italy and spain
@@faberorwell9607 Correct, this was Catholic mostly Southern Europe, Spain and Italy that stopped the Ottomans, the Spanish empire, the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of Sicily and Naples, the Papal States and the Kingdoms of Tuscany, Venice along with the Kingdom of Savoy (Southern France and Western Switzerland).
@@palermotrapani9067
And the French, meanwhile, allied with the Turks.
the chorus...
Confugimus santa Dei genitrix, signum magnum, in hoc signum vinces... it just brings shivers down my spine! So great!
So excited to discover this song by Clamavi De Profundis.
My kids always listen to Durin's song before bed. It is part of our wind down procedure. Cannot wait to incorporate this little gem. Keep em coming guys!
That is so cute
@@washada Yeah, the funniest part is now my normal wife is singing Dwarf songs to calm the baby. And given that her usual music tastes include Justin B and Rhianna, I find it pretty funny.
My daughters falling asleep song since she was new born was the misty mountains. She's almost 8 and still requests it
@@jpigg86 Woah man, you're really lucky ! 👍🏻
As a Venitian, this might be the coolest thing I've ever heard. Viva la Serenissima! Viva San Marco. Viva Clamavi De Profundis!
As a Venitian, you might want to consult some old, old, old archives and it will give you a totally diffferent perspective on the battle of Lepanto.
@@whitewolf1298 Well Mr. White Wolf, if that is your real name, why don't you save me the trip and enlighten me on my history?
As a Greek, with grandparents from Constantinopol, I expect an apology for 1204. It would be a good start for our common struggle against the Eastern threat.
@@Sp-zj5hw We are all sorry that your city was so poorly defended.
@@Sp-zj5hw Perhaps when you beg us forgiveness for the Massacre of the Latins that your treacherous kind enacted earlier in 1182, then we might think about it.
I got such a rush of excitement when I saw "Lepanto - Clamavi de Profundis" in my notifications! I think GKC would love this.
I’m in tears this was so beautiful. What a wonderful tribute to Our Lady
Okey as a spaniard who loves lotr and your channel, this is one of the last things i would expect from you and I'm simply amazed
So beautiful! Happy Feast of the Holy Rosary!
XD I learnt it few hours ago with Pie V and the rosary .You have chosen a good day to post the video .
Our Lady of the Rosary ,Pray for us .
If you want to do a sequel (or perhaps a prequel) G.K. Chesterton's "The Ballad of the White Horse" about King Alfred the Great's battle against the pagan Danes at Eddington seems like it's just begging to be adapted in this style.
Our Lady of the Rosary pray for us!
Another commenter said they felt as if they were soaring when the heard the refrain. I agree! When I read that your family sang it, I was just shocked. What a powerhouse of talent…and you’re using it for that which is true, good, and beautiful. Thank you!
Im spanish and i love this song. Great work
Thank you both, Eryn Huntington and Clamavi de profundis for making this happen. Greetings from Spain
Greetings from Carinthia❤❤
Thanks to U
Gracias por honrar a España con sus bellas melodías, son ustedes mi grupo favorito
As a man, born and raised in spain I can only tell this, im so moved by your song, thanks a lot
A friend sent me this song a few days ago. I'm absolutely mind blown! The entire song was fantastic, but the chorus is my favorite part of the song. I can't explain why, but it just make me feel like I'm soaring. The way the music and the voices blend together...it's a masterpiece. 1,000,000/10, one of my favorites.
Very stoked to hear that. May it inspire you to vie for sainthood as Our Lady desires!
Long live Spain and its glorious Victories (and the victories of our allies)
@@xunqianbaidu6917 what?? What do you mean? Spain has some of the best battles in history and one of the largest and most complex history on earth
@@xunqianbaidu6917 how is that related to the battle of Lepanto?? I don't know how come you all of a sudden brought up something not related to my original comment, why the resentment against Spain?? Are you one of those south Americans?? If you are really Chinese (base on you name) you should know that Spain is the only European power that did not try to get a piece of China but we try to establish commercial relationships
@@xunqianbaidu6917 but Spain did not become an empire because of the battle of Lepanto, so... No, it's not related with the empire
Very nice old songs
Keep the old songs alive
Oh I love that you are having made such a wonderful song both honoring our Lady and recalling our great history. A battle that changed the fate of Europe is completely ignored by modern historians. Perhaps this will stir the curiosity of some of your listeners to do some research . Many people do not know that John of Austria was actually the son of the king of Spain. The name Guadalupe actually is from a Marian shrine in Guadalupe Spain on the Guadalupe river. This predates Columbus by several centuries. But when Juan Diego told the bishop that the name of the woman was “one who crushes the head of the serpent” , he said it in his own language and the words sounded to the Spanish ear as Guadalupe, a name with which they were already familiar.
Columbus =1492 same year as when isabella and ferdinand freed spain from moors….lepanto was decades later
This is that type of song when you listen to it, you cry from joy. Magnificent!
Glory be to the Queen of Heaven, Our Lady of the Rosary.
And that's why we have Angelus at noon, to give thanks to the Lady for the victory at Lepanto.
Our Lady of Victory!
452 years ago to this day!
Our Lady of Victory, ora pro nobis!
Our Lady of Rosary, ora pro nobis!

Thanks to Clamavi de Profundis for this beautiful song, song of Estel and glory!
(I used the word “Estel” for I thought it would be more appropriated to translate “Espérance” than a simple “hope”. Yes I’m French, and I can say that you and Professor Tolkien were the first people who made me like English language. Thank you for that too!)
Christus vincet!
Thank you, Eryn! Chesterton's poem has long been a favorite of mine. What a treat to see it done into a song by such a talented group!
Happy Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, thank you so much for this upload! I would love next Easter to hear your cover of O filii et filiae.
It is beyond me how anyone could dislike this masterpiece
The rundown brought me here, Deo Gratias!
I'm subscribing just because of this. Love the Latin!!! And released on the perfect day!!!

Thank you so muchfor this song Clamavi de profundis. I was born in Genova, and I actually work at sea, so i feel very close to the battle of Lepanto. Amazing job and amazing song! BRAVO
Woohoo! One of my favorite Chesterton poems! I’ve always loved singing it and it’s a treat to hear it sung by y’all
Very beautiful song so far
Edit: This Song really was beautiful and epic
I just had this brought up in my history class today.
Simply stunning. Well done, and praise God who is pleased to use men in spite of their frailties and weaknesses, who "turned to flight the armies of the alien" on this day and saved Christian civilization from subjugation if not outright annihilation.
Also, it would be amazing if you guys would do a whole series of songs like this on great battles of history like this, where Christendom was saved and/or triumphed against the odds. The Battle of Tours/Charles the Hammer, The Siege of Vienna, etc.
Start a Go Fund Me. I'll contribute.
We definitely need a CDP take on the winged hussars arriving 😀
The battle of Tours would be epic!
I feel like I would prefer this group to do more songs about the birth and resurrection. Maybe in this age it is unwise to glorify battle.
Just yes
Never clicked so fast on any of your songs before. I love this poem. and your work is stellar as always. The only thing more spectacular would have been a full version of Chesterton's work (I see several other comments to that effect as well. Perhaps a fundraiser to make it happen? I would definitely contribute.)
I would contribute too.
This is beautiful! Thank you for this homage to Our Lady and the Rosary. In this battle was wounded Cervantes!
Only one thing about the etimology of Guadalupe, its origin cannot be náhuatl, because there already was a Virgin of Guadalupe in Extremadura, Spain since the 12 th century. The one in Mexico was named after this one. So it probably has an arabic origin, something related to "river", as in Guadalquivir, Guadalajara, etc.
Thank you very much for this song, It has been such a nice surprise!!!
What Our Lady identified herself as to St. Juan Diego wasn't actually 'Guadalupe'. (Juan Diego did not speak Spanish.) It was an Aztec phrase I can vaguely remember the sound of but cannot hope to spell, that sounded similar to 'Guadalupe', and meant 'She Who Crushes the Head of the Serpent'. Bishop Zumeraga just messed up the pronunciation. But there was a shrine to Our Lady back in an area of Spain called Guadalupe, which is probably why he settled on that word to proclaim her to the Spanish Empire, and thus, the world.
@@PhilowenAster When the Aztecs' founded Tenochtitlan, didn't the eagle on the Mexican flag symbolize exactly that?
Just to point out, on the ship of Andrea Doria during the Battle of Lepanto there was a banner of the Mexican Our Lady of Guadalupe...
@@srguzmang Exactly why it's part of this song @srguzmang
This is it! Thanks to U
Thank you very much for this song on the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Ave Maria!
This is the single most beautiful thing to have blessed my eardrums
This is so beautiful and empowering at the same time, I'm in tears. Thank you Clamavi de Profundis for bringing such beauty into my life and the world in general. Greetings from Poland!
Watching this from where the battle of Lepanto took place in the Patrasian Gulf
So excited! This was the first poem I memorized at about ten years old! And still magnificent.
I love how fast the singing is during the English sections, I hope you do more like it.
All Hispanics thank you for this outstanding song conmemorationg one of our greatest victories .And , of course , done by the intercession of our Lady of Pilar , Montserrat and the Guadalupes .
It was done through the Holy League having more cannon-mounted Galleasses, no Virgin Mary intercession needed
@@Noremac023
If actual Veterans of the battle were here right now , they would slap you about with great anger
Now this pleases my Catholic heart
I pray God bless you, you are all amazing.
Deus vult! Ave Dei Gentrix! Thank you for putting Chesterton's beautiful words to music.
We need more songs of Catholic victory, ad majoram Dei gloriam!
A wonderful arrangement for a wonderful piece of history!
Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Glory to Our Lady! Glory to Christendom!
This is without a doubt my favourite song from you guys! If you made a full length version I would listen to it and love it no matter how long it had to be! Great job!
This is the most beautiful thing you guys have created. I felt the emotions in the music and was brought to tears.
Thank you so much! What a wonderful way to celebrate Our Lady of Victory! God bless you!
WOW. This was ridiculously good!!!! Wow wow wow!!
Excellent from start to finish. Love the Ave Maria and the Latin chorus. The whole thing was too good for words!!
A beautiful song and thank you for releasing it today. It reminded me that there was a celebration and rosary procession at the shrine today.
This is the earliest I've ever been here! Y'all should try setting one of Chesterton's poems to music. Edit: maybe something from the Ballad of the White Horse 👀♥️
I'm not even finished listening yet, but thank you; it's amazing.
Blessed Month of October to you: pray Our Lady's Holy Rosary!
Simply beautiful and majestical, it's always so good to hear your great works, love and respact from Italy🎉🇮🇹
Thanks a lot from Spain by a Spaniard.
Deus Vult.
The battle of Lepanto saved Europe from Islamic invaders. Don't forget it!
Actually, the breaking of the siege of Vienna did.
@@ultimateshipper8997 Yes, and that was Catholics that did that as well.
@@palermotrapani9067And the battle of Tours. Which was also won by a Catholic king, Charles Martel.
@@tyrannosaurusimperator Correct, The Hammer!
Ojalá un día se animen a cantar en español, sobre todo sobre una batalla de la gloria del imperio Español como lo es está canción. Saludos desde México, que honor que canten sobre la reina del cielo y la evangelizadora del nuevo mundo, Guadalupe.
God is with us my Mexican friend!
A setting of GK Chesterton, the English Catholic bard? This setting is beyond epic! 🤩🤩🤩
Not enough of it! I want MOAR GKC!!!
I've been rewatching The Great Courses Smithsonian Guide To Essential Italy and Professor Bartlett talked at length about the Battle Of Lepanto and it was fascinating. This song is very well done.
One of your best yet, guys.
Happy and Blessed Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Beautiful song
I love the refrain. It is so beautiful. Thank you guys and god bless.
This definitely one your best songs to date!!!
I listen to this at the gym… so hype
Don Juan de Austria:
«Hijos, a morir hemos venido, o a vencer si el cielo lo dispone. No deis ocasión para que el enemigo os pregunte con arrogancia impía ¿Dónde esta vuestro Dios? pelead en su Santo Nombre, porque muertos o victoriosos, habréis de alcanzar la inmortalidad»
You guys should put the whole lepanto poem to lyrics. That would be great. This is beautiful as well. I like how the implied marian tone in the poem is brought out more with various other prayers. Thanks for the great work.
Absolutely beautiful piece of music! Thank you!
The song and the video are phenomenal.
This family is clearly healthy and holy.
Beautiful work, CDP.
Deo Gratias for posting this on the feast of the Holy Rosary.
Amazing song! Happy feast of our Lady of Victory and the Rosary!
Our Lady of Victory pray for us
Magnificent! God bless everyone who made this happen!
Thanks for a great Song, AS Part italian i realy feel it
A truly wonderful arrangement of a truly wonderful poem. It goes right to this Catholic historian’s heart.
I appreciate the reference to Our Lady of Guadelupe in relation to Lepanto. Admiral Andrea Doria of Genoa, who fought at Lepanto, had a replica image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in his cabin, personally blessed by the Archbishop of Mexico.
A tale is told of that Admiral Doria’s ship was blown off course and surrounded during the battle, and at his desperate prayer before the image, a favorable wind immediately arose and allowed him to rejoin the main fleet.
Beautiful and well sung, keep up these songs guys! (And girls).
Beautiful, as always.
God bless!
Our Lady of Victory, intercede for us! Our plight is now far worse than that of Lepanto!
Thank you for producing this, CDP!
Pick up a rosary and join the war!
