It’s taken me a while, but I have now finished my revisiting of the Scivias responsory O tu suavissima virga. Many thanks to Marianne, as it was our recent conversation that helped me to decide on a choral arrangement for this one. It is scored for solo voice, with a semi-chorus and full choir, accompanied by two cellos and a drum.
Here it is!
O you, the sweetest branch, sprouting from the root of Jesse. O how great is the virtue which the divinity beheld in this most beautiful daughter, like an eagle sets its eye to the su, when the heavenly father directed attention to the bright virgin, in whom he wished his word to be made carnate. V: For in the mystical mystery of God, the virgin’s mind was enlightened and from her came forth the wonderfully bright flower.
