Notes

First performed by Rosy Voices, Rudolf Steiner House, London 9/3/1996.

Aurora*, aurora,
Aurora, aurora.
Today, there opens for us
A door once closed,
Which a serpent barred in a woman:
Aurora, aurora,
And so there gleams the flower of our Lady,
Aurora, aurora,
Brilliant in the dawn.

Hildegard von Bingen, translated by Oliver Davies

*This Latin word (=’dawn’) used as a refrain is taken from the third line of Hildegard’s original Latin version of this poem celebrating the Incarnation. If used liturgically, it would be particularly suitable for the feasts of the Annunciation and Christmas.
