jan 1, 1151 - Ordo Virtutum

Description:

Composer: Hildegard

The title translates to “Order of the Virtues”. It is a morality play in which female virtues lead the fallen back to the community of the faithful. It was unique because it is not a supplement to the Mass or Office of a certain feast. In principio omnes (NAWM 7) is the closing chorus of the morality play. It consists of four rhymed lines followed by a prose speech by Christ and ends with a short call to kneel in prayer.
