They perform Saturday, Jan 22, 2011 at Miller Theatre, Columbia University. Today's WSJ (Jan 20 has a review worth reading). Beautiful. Wish I could see them. I'm in Nebraska.

(translation part 3)
And, because of you, nourishment is given to the human family
and great rejoicing to those gathered round the table.
And so, in you O gentle Virgin, is every fullness of joy, everything that Eve rejected.
Now let endless praise resound to the Most High!
-
(translation part 2)
The heat of the sun exudes sweat from you like balsam's perfume.
In you, the most stunning flower has blossomed
and gives off its sweet odor to all the herbs and roots,
which were dry and thirsting before your arrival.
Now they spring forth in fullest green!
Because of you, the heavens give dew to the grass, the whole Earth rejoices;
Abundance of grain comes from Earth's womb
and on its stalks and branches the birds nest.

Here (in several parts) is a complete English translation by Rev. Jerry Dybdal and Matthew Fox, from "Hildegard of Bingen's 'Book of Divine Works, with Letters and Songs'" [ed. Matthew Fox, 1987 Bear & Co., Santa Fe]
Hail to you, O greenest, most fertile branch!
You budded forth amidst breezes and winds
in search of the knowldge of all that is holy.
When the time was ripe your own branch brought forth blossoms.
Hail, greetings to you!

Composed by Hildegard von Bingen (German mystic, nun, poetess, herbalist)

...Et quoniam volucres celi
Nidos in ipsa habuerunt
Deinde facta est esca hominibus
Et gaudium magnum epulantium.
Unde, o suavis Virgo,
In te non deficit ullum gaudium.
Hec omnia Eva contempsit.
Nunc autem laus sit Altissimo.
I have no training in Latin, but this is what we learned in music class. Thanks for the video!
