Project Orpheus Music

I recently downloaded the Project Orpheus music but I cant find the lyrics for them so that I can learn the Latin in them. Could anyone help me with this?

I've tried my best to transcribe, but the singer's pronunciation is so horrendous that I cannot understand most of what she says. The only lines I can find reference for are from Angelus, which is a medieval Christmas hymn about the annunciation of the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary of the conception of Jesus Christ.

The lines referenced are:

Eia, mater Domini
quae pacem reddidisti
Angelis et homini
cum Christum genuisti

Which she pronounces as:
ay amahtah doh-mee-nay
kyoo pah-tshem redeedeestee
ahn-jay-lees ay doh-mee-nay
koom kristum je-noo-is-tee.

I don't think this woman knows Latin well, if at all. I imagine, in this case, someone was looking at a hymnal and saw 'quae' abbreviated as 'q.' as it sometimes is in hymnals, and thought the word was 'q', which she pronounces as the English letter, 'Q [cue]'.

Other nonsense I get:
(the underlined are not any Latin word I or my sources recognize, in parentheses are my tentative guesses)

Track 1:
animadverto domus
delphinus vigiloso solis
a ruavioso casus divum
quod silio in profundum

Track 4:
hominum devamque (divumque?)
volutas amavinus (amavimus?) caeli
aenidus (initus?)

Track 7:
si gratulatis sum caei (caeli?)
sum camodustrum probas

                             

Well thats frustrating, I spent 11 dollars on it that thinking it would help me learn something. Dont get me wrong it is nice to listen to, but my liguist mind will be subconciously annoyed now. Thanks though, that saved me alot of trouble. I miss having you as a Latin source.

The singer's voice doesn't appeal to me, not my taste.

There are some musical numbers that are in well-spoken Latin — but an issue is how rarely proper Classical or even late Latin pronunciation is used. Mostly, things are sung in ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation, or in regional accents (i.e. as if Latin were French, or German, or, even worse, English).

Perhaps the best spoken Latin I have heard is this absolutely heartwrenching rendition of the 13th-century hymn  Stabat Mater:

I haven't gone anywhere.
