about

From the C14th Libre Vermell of Monserrat.The style of this piece harks back to an earlier era of free organum and seems incongruous in the overall scheme of the Libre Vermell.The approach here has been to perform the melody in canon form while the words remain in unison .This method of sycpoints up the beautiful counterpoint and avoids lyrical confusion.This method of synchronisation better reveals the wonderful counterpoint while avoiding lyrical obscurity.

lyrics

O Virgo splendens,hic in monte celso
Miraculis serrato fulgentibus ubique,
Quem fideles conscendunt universi.
Eia pietatis oculo placato
Cerne ligatus fune peccatori
Ne infernorum ictibus graventur
Sed cum beatis tua prece vocentur

credits

from O Virgo Splendens, released November 23, 2020
O Virgin resplendent on the high mountain
gleaming with shining wonders
where believers from everywhere ascend.
Ah,with your peaceful, holy eye
behold those bound in the bond of sinners,
let them not suffer the blows of the nether world,
but by your prayer let them be called with the blessed.
