Here is the next Hildegard von Bingen antiphon up for revisiting in my Hildegard Revisited project. As ever, before I create my new piece around this work I have first recorded the monody in its original form (sung from the 12th century Dendermonde manuscript – if you are interested, can follow the neumes on the first two manuscript images below):
cum processit: an antiphon dedicated to the Virgin Mary
When the creation of God’s finger came forth, formed in God’s image, issuing of mixed blood through the pilgrim-way of Adam’s fall, then the elements received these vital joys in you, O Mary, worthy of praise, and in the reddening sky they sound you in their praises.
