My next track in this Hildegard von Bingen project is the “Scivias” antiphon for the confessors: O successores. Here is a link to my recording, and below you will find the original notation from both the Dendemonde and the Riesencodex manuscripts together with an English translation. I’ll be back with my revisited version – watch this space!
Oh successors of the strongest lion, you, the masters in his household, between the temple and the altar, as the angels sound forth praises, you are here to help the nations. You are among those who accomplish this, forever showing your care in the service of the Lamb.
