Bernard of Clairvaux
(born 1090) was one of the most influential personalities of the Middle Ages. His prolific sermons and writings on scripture and mystical prayer earned him the name 'doctor mellifluus'
(honey-tongued teacher). This meditation for Trinity Sunday from St Etheldreda's, Ely Place, London, sets extracts from his writings against plainchant and polyphony sung by the Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge.
