Beata Viscera by Elyssia published on 2020-02-25T12:45:44Z In this fusion Gregorian Chant meets New Age Music. Perotin's Beata Viscera in a beautiful new version. Multi tracked mezzo soprano vocal layers sung by Marianne Lihannah against a vocal drone. This drone is accompanied by Pal Landry playing an ambient synth drone, a mellotron vsti and a native flute vsti synth to fuse classical with new age and ambient styles. The mezzo soprano Marianne Lihannah sings this divine processional Marian hymn which couldn't have been composed before year 1220. It is by 'Perotin' also known as 'Perotin Magister' or 'Perotin the Great' or 'Magister Perotinus' The words are by Phillip de Chancellor a French Theologian and Latin Medieval Lyric Poet. It starts with the chorus: 'O Wondrous Novelty and unprecedented joy of a mother still intact after giving birth' The mysteries of the Mosaic Law are resolved. The tree sprung from the mystic rod, unknown in nature. Water gushing from the stone, a pilar showing the way to God's people are favourable signs. 'O Wondrous Novelty...... The eye cannot bear to look freely on the sun, as it rises in the air in all it's purity. Then let it behold that sun from the side, as it is reflected, in the womb of a pregnant woman, where it is enclosed entire. 'O Wondrous Novelty...... ************************************************************* There is actually also a 1st and a 4th verse, which I haven't recorded, because I thought it would make the song too long. www.elyssiamusic.com/ www.myspace.com/elyssiamusic www.reverbnation.com/elyssia twitter.com/elyssiamusic www.facebook.com/elyssiamusic/ www.youtube.com/channel/UCu2-KFD4PYwJCOanCmfGRQQ itunes.apple.com/us/artist/elyssia/438085629 Genre Classical Comment by Marco Siri Multidimensional and magic!!
