I have finished my revisiting of Hildegard von Bingen’s joyous antiphon, nunc gaudeant.
You can listen via the link below, and read about the various choices I made when interpreting this chant from the original manuscripts in my previous post.
I will be back soon, as my plan is to finish this project before the 850th anniversary of Hildegard’s death in September 2029. It’s a tall order, as I still have 25 chants to revisit and I have got considerably more ambitious as this project has progressed 🙂 (If you are interested, the whole project is on SoundCloud.)
But, whether I finish or not, I am planning a big celebration for the autumn of 2029 – and I will keep you informed as my plans become concrete…
Now let the motherly body of the Church rejoice, because her children are gathered in her bosom in celestial song. By which, o shameful serpent, you are confounded, because those whom your esteem held in its bosom now shine in the blood of the son of God, and therefore, praise be to you, king most high. Alleluia.
