Antiphon For The Holy Spirit (1989) by Robert Ross 11

Neo-Renaissance-style motet from 1989 on a Pentecost text by Hildegard von Bingen for SATB div. a cappella. Performance from 2004 by Voces Novae et Antiquae under the direction of the composer.

Spiritus sanctus vivificans vita,
Movens omnia, et radix est in omni creatura.
Ac omnia de inmunditia abluit,
Tergens crimina, ac ungit vulnera.
Et sic est fulgens ac laudabilis vita,
Suscitans et resucitans omnia.

The Holy Spirit is a life-giving life,
Moving in all things and rooted in every living creature,
And cleanses all things from impurity:
Scrubbing out guilt, anointing wounds.
Therefore it is a gleaming and praiseworthy life,
Invigorating and renewing all.
