He many times makes the tonic accents of the words using unprepared dissonances rather than actual accents.......its so delicate and masterful. The last gloriOsa before the B section, is so painful....what an amazing, glorioso and generoso composer!

Ave Generosa 1. Ave generosa gloriosa et intacta puella, tu pupilla castitatis, tu materia sanctitatis, que Deo placuit. 2. Nam hec superna infusio in te fuit, quod supernum Verbum in te carnem induit. 3. Tu candidum lilium quod Deus ante omnem creaturam inspexit. 4. O pulcherrima et dulcissima, quam valde Deus in te delectabatur, cum amplexionem caloris sui in te posuit, ita quod Filius eius de te lactatus est. 5. Venter enim tuus gaudium habuit cum omnis celestis symphonia de te sonuit, quia virgo Filium Dei portasti, ubi castitas tua in Deo claruit. 6. Viscera tua gaudium habuerunt sicut gramen super quod ros cadit cum ei viriditatem infundit, ut et in te factum est, O mater omnis gaudii. 7. Nunc omnis ecclesia in gaudio rutilet ac in symphonia sonet propter dulcissimam Virginem et laudabilem Mariam, Dei Genitricem. Amen.

I am not a Catholic and at our church Mary doesn't play such a great role like at in the Roman Catholic church.

Another thing: this music is wonderful and wonderfully interpreted by a wonderful choir with angel-like voices. Thank you very much!

Dear Mr. Gjeilo, where do I find the sheet music for this song for our small Catholic choir in Alhambra CA. Do we need permission to sing at a Sunday Mass? I am mesmerized by this piece and knowing the story of the nun , Sister Hildegard who wrote the text, it is even more inspiring. I sing Alto and am most anxious to get this to our Choir director. She also teaches High School to some very talented singers.

This SSAA version is absolutely beautiful and perfectly matches the original version (Hildegard von Bingen wrote originally for women's voices only). But... why singing "generosa" that way... because, if I know some generous people, I am afraid I didn't know many guenerous ones ! Strange ! Perhaps the choirs tries to mimic the way (they expect) german people of the time pronounced latin ??? Anyway... it's beautiful ! That is the most important !

Yes, in central European pronunciation, you'd pronounce "g" like in "galaxy", also "c" in coelum like "ts", in Italy it would me "ch" and in Germany it would be "k"...

For heaven’s flood poured into you as heaven’s Word was clothed in flesh in you. 3. You are the lily, gleaming white, upon which God has fixed his gaze before all else created. 4. O beautiful, O sweet! How deep is that delight that God received in you, when ‘round you he enwrapped his warm embrace, so that his Son was suckled at your breast. 5. Your womb rejoiced as from you sounded forth the whole celestial symphony. For as a virgin you have borne the Son of God- in God your chastity shone bright. 6. Your flesh rejoiced just as a blade of grass on which the dew has fall’n, viridity within it to infuse-just so it happened unto you, O mother of all joy! 7. So now in joy gleams all the Church like dawn, resounds in symphony because of you, the Virgin sweet and worthy of all praise, Maria, God’s mother. Amen.
