Salve Regina - Paul Jernberg

Performed live by the higher voices of Icosa in our concert on 8th October 2016.

The beautiful plainsong melody of this uplifting hymn to Wisdom itself is sung by the Sopranos. The Altos accompany them with three drone notes to represent the omnipresence of Wisdom's three wings - above, below and all around. Follow the words with the music and you will hear the careful detail in every note Hildegard Von Bingen writes to represent the many aspects of Wisdom.

Luke Mather - Director of Icosa

O virtus Sapientie,
que circuiens circuisti,
comprehendendo omnia
in una via que habet vitam,
tres alas habens,
quarum una in altum volat
et altera de terra sudat
et tercia undique volat.
Laus tibi sit, sicut te decet, O Sapientia.

O Wisdom’s energy!
Whirling, you encircle
and everything embrace
in the single way of life.
Three wings you have:
one soars above into the heights,
one from the earth exudes,
and all about now flies the third.
Praise be to you, as is your due, O Wisdom.

O Virtus Sapientia - Hildegard Von Bingen
