The Danmarks Radio (DR) Pigekoret (Young Women’s Choir) performed at the Concorso Corale Internazionale (Interkultur choir competition) at the Riva del Garda, Italy, which took place March 28-31, 2010. Specifically, this performance was held on Monday March 29, 2010, in the Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Maria Assunta, (Church of Saint Mary of the Assumption), 38066 Riva del Garda TN, Italy. The choir performed, "Ego Flos Campi for Equal Voices (SSA)", which was composed by Bo Holton in 2001. The Latin text of the Song of Solomon comes from the Canticum Canticorum Biblia Sacra Vulgata.

The text of Ego Flos Campi in English reads as follows:

2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2:2 As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
2:3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

Supporting Scripture:

Psalm 85:11
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from Heaven.

Isaiah 35:1, 2
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose…

Isaiah 55:13
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Isaiah 4:2
In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.

Psalm 45:2
Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee forever.

Psalm 89:6
For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

Psalm 91:1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of The Almighty.

Ezekiel 47:12
And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

In Latin, the text reads as follows:

2:1 ego flos campi et lilium conuallium
2:2 sicut lilium inter spinas sic amica mea inter filias
2:3 sicut malum inter ligna siluarum sic dilectus meus inter filios sub umbra illius quam desideraueram sedi et fructus eius dulcis gutturi meo
