Words by Aurelius C. Prudentius, 4th Century, translated by John M. Neale and Henry W. Baker. This melody is also known as "Divinum Mysterium," 13th Century Plainsong arranged by C. Winfred Douglas in 1916. My friend Mary has sung professionally with the Phoenix Bach Choir (now known as the Phoenix Chorale) and has studied Classical music for many years. She loves to play the hammered dulcimer and is an accomplished pianist and organist who also loves folk music. I accompany Mary on my vintage 1950's Scandalli accordion, a 4/5 reed instrument in LMMH configuration.
This lovely song captures a sense of eternity and ministers to the inner places of one's soul. Here my friend Mary Bowers offers a beautiful rendition of this traditional hymn via her distinctive voice and unique powers of artistic interpretation.
