"" is a Roman Catholic hymn in Latin to the Blessed Virgin Mary, first published in 1792, and often sung on Marian feast days. It is claimed that the tune of the hymn is Sicilian. The tune is sometimes called "Sicilian Mariners Hymn" or "Mariners Hymn". It has also been made into a Christmas carol with English words not relating to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but rather to Jesus himself and his day of birth: Glorious peace bringing Christmas time Angel throngs to meet thee On Thy birth we greet Thee Hail to Christ, the Son of God, our newborn king Or, in another English-language rendition: Christmas comes with its grace divine Grace again is beaming Christ the world redeeming; Hail, ye Christians, Hail the joyous Christmas time Ludwig van Beethoven arranged it as No. 4 in his "" (various folksongs), WoO 157. The German version ("O du fröhliche") is a well-known Christmas carol. This tune is also used for the hymn "Lord, Dismiss Us With Thy Blessing", and it appears to have influenced the melody of "We Shall Overcome", with a close match between the first half of both tunes. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「O Sanctissima」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
