O virtus Sapientie

O Energy of Wisdom, was written by Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), a German abbess, philosopher, herbalist, visionary, poet and composer. This antiphon was performed by the Hildegard Project on Sept. 17.09, Hildegard's Feast Day at Holy Trinity Church in Toronto. An indoor Labyrinth was set up to allow the audience to have a walking meditation experience while listening to the transformational chant.

You circled, circling, Encompassing all things, In one path possessed of life. Three wings you have: One of them soars on high, The second exudes from the earth, And the third flutters everywhere. Praise to you, as befits you, O Wisdom!
