o virtus sapientiae

Text by Hildegard von Bingen
Performed by The Gregorian Singers

Soloists: Gabrielle Doran (Soprano), Elina Kala (Alto), Nicholas Karageorgiou (Tenor), and Kevin Seal (Bass)

Translation by Kate Brown:

O strength of Wisdom
who, circling, circled,
enclosing all
in one life-giving path,
three wings you have:
one soars to the heights,
one distills its essence upon the earth,
and the third is everywhere.
Praise to you, as is fitting,
o Wisdom

text by Hildegard von Bingen
