Prophetarum Presignata from Otherworld by ANÚNA
PROPHETARUM PRESIGNATA
Arranged by Michael McGlynn
Percussion: Noel Eccles
Prophetarum Presignata comes from the Dublin Troper which has been a part of my life for decades. It is a 14th-century manuscript that, like a time capsule, captures the chants and liturgical practices of medieval Dublin. The hymns, sequences, and tropes are more than just religious rituals; they're a testament to the artistic spirit of that time. I feel a close connection to this intricate weave of spirituality and music. This manuscript serves as a reminder that the intertwining of the sacred and artistic resonates with the complexities of my own work as a composer.
Prophetarum presignata virgo vaticinio
Super celos exaltata mater es a filio
O benedicta circumamicta varietate
Te veneratur quem imitatur angelis amica
Virginum pudica concio stella pudicicie beata
Virgo plena gaudio
Prophesised Virgin foretold of the prophets
Mother, you are exalted above the heavens by your Son.
O blessed one, clothed in colours,
You are venerated, by Him who the angels imitate.
Chaste assembly of virgins, blessed star of modesty
Virgin full of joy.
