Ave Generosa by Ola Gjeilo is a radiant and deeply expressive choral work inspired by the mystical poetry of Hildegard of Bingen. In Ave Generosa, Gjeilo combines lyrical melodic writing with his signature cinematic harmonies, creating a piece that feels both ancient and new. His setting honours the reverence and spiritual intensity of Hildegard’s text while surrounding it with lush, flowing textures that highlight the choir’s warmth and resonance.

Ola Gjeilo, a Norwegian-American composer and pianist, is celebrated for his rich harmonic language, immersive soundscapes, and the blend of classical and film-influenced styles present in much of his choral music. His works often evoke a sense of spaciousness and serenity, inviting singers and audiences into a contemplative emotional world. The text of Ave Generosa, written by the 12th-century abbess Hildegard, praises the Virgin Mary with vivid imagery and profound devotion.

Latin Lyrics:
Ave, generosa, gloriosa
et intacta puella,
tu pupilla castitatis,
tu materia sanctitatis,
quae Deo placuit.

English Translation:
Hail, noble, glorious,
and untouched maiden,
you, the pupil of purity,
you, the vessel of holiness,
you who pleased God.
