Product Description

A cappella SSSAAA sextet; ca. 3 min.

The composer writes: Hildegard von Bingen (1098 1179) was a woman of many talents: she was an abbess, a philosopher, a scientist, a poet and a composer. An extensive body of her sacred songs was collected in a cycle called the Symphonia armoniae celestium revelationum (The Harmonic Music of Celestial Mysteries). The collection also contains several texts for which Hildegards music has been lost, and O Magna Res is one of these.
 
O Magna Res could be described as a miniature chronology of the Christian spiritual world. It begins with God alone, proceeding to His creation of life, and then to the fall of humanity. As in many of Hildegards texts, O Magna Res contrasts the Virgin Mary with Eve. Finally, with the birth of Christ (for which the dawn is a poetic metaphor) comes the redemption of Woman, and her beneficent influence on the world.
