    A beautiful piece by Perotin. It makes you wonder how many other masterpieces of this period remain undiscovered.

      I agree, yet n actual fact there is such abundance archived medieval music documents that I doubt most of it has ever been performed.

      What a poetic comment! Music and the other arts can send messages to us over the centuries. From the standpoint of music, one could say those messages are "encoded" in the notation, waiting to be discovered.

    Perotin really knew his way around an EMU SP1200, the way he produced those vocals just can't be done with digital emulation. I remember seeing my boy Pero opening for Cannibal Ox around the turn of the millennium, he dropped Viderunt Omnes and the club went off, absolute carnage, habits in the air, tankards of mead flying overhead, dude wrecked the place. Really hope that plainchant acetate he cut with Skibadee gets a rerelease some time soon, prices are wild on Discogs.

      @@FallenKing13 I think the key is to recognize that such magic is still there and all around us, invisible.
      Part of my life's work will be hopefully to convince people of that, and to orient them towards producing a life that is enriched by such beauty, to see the beauty as imbued into the universe that we live in.
      It's optimistic, perhaps, but this is the world we *truly* wish to live in. People escape to fantasy books, shows, movies and TV games because this is *exactly* what they're missing in their own lives.
      It's time to bring the mystery back into daily life, one work of art, building, community, act of charity, etc. at a time.

    I was fortunate enough to hear this masterpiece of Perotin's performed in a magnificent chapel within the Cloisters in NY by the Ensemble for Early Music, directed by Frederick Renz. This version - posted here - is one of the most unique interpretations I've ever heard (and I've sought out every one). It may very well be the best. It is absolutely stunning, mysterious, haunting, evocative, sacred and sublime. Renz and his company deserve the highest praise possible. I do wish that the poster would add the name of the superb countertenor who is singing here. Deepest thanks for the music.

    Blessed flesh of the Virgin Mary,
    at whose breast the king of eminent name,
    concealing, under altered guise,
    the force of divine nature,
    has sealed a pact of God and Man.
    O astonishing novelty and unaccustomed joy
    of a mother still pure after childbirth.
    Vision does not endure to behold in its radiance
    the sun, unconcealed, as he rises forth, pure.
    Let the wholly enclosed womb of the mother
    behold from the side as it is reflected.
    O astonishing novelty and unaccustomed joy
    of a mother still pure after childbirth.

    Beata Viscera Marie Virginis
    Beata viscera
    Marie virginis
    cuius ad ubera
    rex magni nominis;
    veste sub altera
    vim celans numinis
    dictavit federa
    Dei et hominis
    O mira novitas
    et novum gaudium,
    matris integrita
    post puerperium.
    Populus gentium
    sedens in tenebris
    surgit ad gaudium
    partus tam celebris:
    Iudea tedium
    fovet in latebris,
    cor gerens conscium
    delicet funebris,
    O mira novitas
    et novum gaudium,
    matris integrita
    post puerperium.
    Legis mosayce
    clausa misteria;
    nux virge mystice
    nature nescia;
    aqua de silice,
    columpna previa,
    prolis dominice
    signa sunt propera.
    O mira novitas
    et novum gaudium,
    matris integrita
    post puerperium.
    Solem, quem librere,
    Dum purus otitur
    In aura cernere
    visus non patitur,
    cernat a latere
    dum repercutitur,

    Blesses Womb of the Virgin Mary
    Blessed womb
    of the virgin Mary
    on whose breasts
    the king of great name;
    under others garments
    concealing his divine power
    formed a treaty
    for men and God.
    O new marvel
    and new joy,
    a mother still virgin
    after giving birth.
    The people having been born of nations
    sitting in darkness so prevalent
    rose to joy;
    Judea supported weariness
    in retreat,
    the heart bearing honesty
    may it acknowledge the death.
    O new marvel
    and new joy,
    a mother still virgin
    after giving birth.
    The mysteries of the Mosaic law
    have been closed;
    mystical fruit of the rod
    not know by nature;
    water from the rock,
    a column leading the way,
    they are speeding signs
    for the people of the Lord.
    O new marvel
    and new joy,
    a mother still virgin
    after giving birth.
    May I reveal, may it be pondered,
    while the pure one rises
    in heaven you are seen
    a vision not suffered
    may he see from the side
    while it is reflected
    the womb birthed a child
    which is wholly closed.
    O new marvel
    and new joy,
    a mother still virgin
    after giving birth.
