ERES EL DIRECTOR

¿Qué pasaría si te encuentras una orquesta sinfónica en la calle esperando a un director? ¿Te subirías al podio, como los neoyorquinos que se encontraron con estos músicos del Carnegie Hall esperando pacientemente a que alguien los dirija? Observa la energía y el entusiasmo de los que participaron y querrás unirte de inmediato. La vida es tu mejor actuación. Muy bien, maestro. Hora de llevar la batuta.

CONDUCT YOURSELF What would you do if you came across a symphony orchestra in the street just waiting to be conducted? Would you step onto the podium, like the New Yorkers who came across these Carnegie Hall musicians sitting patiently, waiting to be lead. Watch the energy and enthusiasm of those who got involved and you'll want to join right in. Life’s your biggest performance. OK maestro. Time to take up the baton.

Trio Mediæval - Flos Regalis Virginalis Notre Dame Conductus for 3 voices, c. 1250 - Anonymous

This 13th century English Conductus, Flos Regalis Virginalis, equates the Virgin with the leader of the choir, and carries the flower metaphor all the way back to the ancient ancestor of David, Jesse, who is often represented as a root or a tree. Conductus is a type of sacred, but non-liturgical vocal composition for one or more voices. It was one of the most expressive type of vocal composition of the ars antiqua . The word derives from the Latin conducere (to escort), probably used as a processional, often as the lectionary (Bible) was moved for the reading of the Gospel.

Lyrics and translation:

Flos regalis virginalis (The royal flower)

Flos regalis (The royal flower) Virginalis (The glorious leader) Chori dux egregia (Of the virginal chorus,) Quam Iesse (Whom, they say,) Natam esse (Was born) Stripe constat regia. (From Jesse's royal stem) Rosa fragrans, primula vernalis, (O fragrant rose, first bud of spring,) Servos tuos libera de malis. (Free thy servants from evils.) Rex te salem (The King has led) Ad regalem (Three pure) Introduxit thalamum (Into royal chamber,) Flos decoris (O flower of elegance) Et honoris (And honour,) Precellentis balsamum. (Surpassing all fragrance.) Tu glorie speculum, (Thou art a mirror of glory,) Solis umbraculum, (Shade for the sun,) Da famulis gaudium. (Grant joys for thy family.)

And that's one of the many reasons why I love medieval music!!! ♥

I hope you enjoy the ethereal, celestial voices from this stunning Norwegian ladies! ;-)Good morning & have a nice Sunday!
