Description The music of the 12th century German abbess, mystic and poet Hildegard von Bingen is more than simply beautiful: it aspires to s state of mystical exaltation that makes it truly extraordinary.
Hildegard created an astonishing and unique music which, in our search for new sources of spiritual inspiration, has shown itself to be as moving for the contemporary listener as it was when written 800 years ago.
In this remarkable piece, Hildegard recounts the experience of the extraordinary visions which transformed her life and made her one of the most influential spiritual leaders of her time.
