boston camerata & joel cohen - conductus (gedeonis area) lyrics
like adest sponsus, this is a conductus, or processional song; the treble voices declaim the text + which is concerned with some of the same images that are evoked in the reading that follows + in an early form of three+part harmony
conductus, gedeonis area
french, 13th c
gedeonis area celitus perfusa rore;
flamma rubis ignea radiat absque calore
nucleum ex nuclea testa prodit lutea
lux aurea!
granum exit palea, oleastris olea
liquitur petra liquore
translation:
gideon’s threshing floor is
drenched with dew from heaven
and the flame burning in the bush
shines without heat
the earthen vessel
brings forth the seed from a seed
the golden light!
the good grain comes out of the chaff
the olive from the olive trees
and the rock flows with water
