Aer Enim

$2.25

“Aer Enim” was originally conceived as the final movement to a set of three pieces based on Hildegard chants. I have sung many pieces by Hildegard and have always been amazed by her agile and hypnotic chant lines. In this piece, these flowing phrases are especially effective in evoking the nature of air throughout, concluding solely with breath.

Text: Hildegard von Bingen

Voicing: SSA with percussion (xylophone, finger cymbals and tambourine)

Performance by the Macalester College Women’s Choir conducted by Eugene Rogers:

 

Aer enim volat
et cum omnibus creaturis
officia sua exercet et firmamentus eum sustinet
aer in viribus istius pascitur

As air flies
attending to all creatures
the structure of heaven sustains it
and the air is nourished through this enfolding
