Mondays with Moira: O frondens virga (Hildegard von Bingen)

~*~ Mondays with Moira: O frondens virga (Hildegard von Bingen) ~*~
A lo-fi and light improvisation of this beautiful Hildegard piece from the 12th century performed with a single take on frame drum, and then a single take of vocals layered on top. Also featuring singing bowl and tingsha.
I hope this is the 5 minute meditation you need today.

O FRONDENS VIRGA
MUSIC +LYRICS - Hildegard von Bingen, a 12th century mystic
O blooming branch,
you stand upright in your nobility,
as breaks the dawn on high:
Rejoice now and be glad,
and deign to free us, frail and weakened,
from the wicked habits of our age;
stretch forth your hand
to lift us up aright.
...
