As is so often the case with Ancient Music, it is not entirely clear when and where exactly this Advent hymn was composed, presumably in France in the 12th century. Its darkly sublime solemnity, reminding Winnie Brückner of vast medieval churches, inspired her to set this hymn for women's choir a cappella. Beginning unisono like a Gregorian antiphon, it unfolds into four parts to finally end in an ostinato.
