Happy birthday to Fr. Douglas Martis, director of The Liturgical Institute, Mundelein! I offer to him this English adaptation of the ancient Felix natalis tibi chant, an antiphon from late antiquity that has been recently discovered by enterprising scholars within a manuscript fragment. They believe this chant to be the origin of the jubilus which later was regularly added to the Alleluia of the Mass. Ad multos annos!
