LXXIII. HILDEGARD OF BINGEN (1098-1179)
Veni creator spiritus (?)
ANONYMOUS 4
(4:31)
I knew I'd get to the 12th century eventually.
Born almost 1,000 years ago, it's incredible that we know so much about her:
Illlumination from the Liber Scivias showing Hildegard receiving a vision and dictating to her scribe and secretary
A German Benedictine abbess, writer, composer, philosopher, mystic, visionary, and polymath of the High Middle Ages.
Her compositions are monophonic, meaning there is no harmony. That would come later with organum.
