Hildegard Von Bingen
Hildegard von Bingen. hildegard of bingen by Sabina Flanagan. Other Information Hildegard von Bingen was Abbess of Rupertsburg and a mystical poet and singer.
http://stevenestrella.com/composers/composerfiles/hildegard1179.html

Extractions: Hildegard von Bingen was Abbess of Rupertsburg and a mystical poet and singer. She began to record her religious visions in the form of poetry beginning about 1150. She also provided melodic outlines using a primitive system of neumes that have allowed contemporary scholars to create educated guesses about what her music sounded like. Hildegard is known for mystical and florid interpretations of plainchant. She is one of the first identifiable composers in the history of western music.
Abtei St. Hildegard
Our Foundress hildegard of bingen Passionate Love for God and the World. We have very few historically reliable facts on hildegard of bingen.
http://www.abtei-st-hildegard.de/english/hildegard/

Extractions: Passionate Love for God and the World Light has always been a symbol for God, an image that was used to express the unspeakable mystery and to answer the question about the reason for and purpose of our existence. "God is light" says the evangelist John, and wherever God reveals Himself throughout history, an exceptionally bright light appears. Light does not only brighten the darkness and enable true vision, it also gives and sustains life, it provides us with warmth and a home. Thus, light is the very symbol of God-recognition, the epitome of life and love.

hildegard of bingen has been called by her admirers one of the most important figures in the history of the Middle Ages, and the greatest woman of her time
http://justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/247.html

Extractions: "Listen: there was once a king sitting on his throne. Around Him stood great and wonderfully beautiful columns ornamented with ivory, bearing the banners of the king with great honor. Then it pleased the king to raise a small feather from the ground, and he commanded it to fly. The feather flew, not because of anything in itself but because the air bore it along. Thus am I, a feather on the breath of God." Hildegard of Bingen has been called by her admirers "one of the most important figures in the history of the Middle Ages," and "the greatest woman of her time." Her time was the 1100's (she was born in 1098), the century of Eleanor of Aquitaine, of Peter Abelard and Bernard of Clairvaux , of the rise of the great universities and the building of Chartres cathedral. She was the daughter of a knight, and when she was eight years old she went to the Benedict ine monastery at Mount St Disibode to be educated. The monastery was in the Celtic tradition, and housed both men and women (in separate quarters). When Hildegard was eighteen, she became a nun. Twenty years later, she was made the head of the female community at the monastery. Within the next four years, she had a series of visions, and devoted the ten years from 1140 to 1150 to writing them down, describing them (this included drawing pictures of what she had seen), and commenting on their interpretation and significance. During this period, Pope Eugenius III sent a commission to inquire into her work. The commission found her teaching orthodox and her insights authentic, and reported so to the Pope, who sent her a letter of approval. (He was probably encouraged to do so by his friend and former teacher

Brief biography, by Karen Rae Keck.
http://www2.evansville.edu/ecoleweb/glossary/hildegard.html

Extractions: Hildegard of Bingen Known as the Sybil of the Rhine, Hildegard was one of the most influential women of the XII Century. Born in into a noble family at Böckelheim, Hildegard was, as a child, sickly; her visions, recorded in Scivias , began during childhood. Educated by a recluse, Jutta, she became a nun at 15, and in , succeeded her mentor as abbess of the community that had grown up around Jutta. Hildegard moved the convent to Rupertsberg in . A woman of many talents, Hildegard wrote poems and hymns, as well as medical and scientific works. The latter are remarkable in their observational skill. She wrote Scivias (variously Knowing the Ways of the Lord or Let us Know! ) with the permission of her confessor, Godfrey, and the help of a monk, Volmer. She invented her own language, a blend of Latin and German, that had 23 letters and 900 words. Hildegard also wrote commentary on the gospels, the Athanasian creed, and the Rule of St. Benedict , which her nuns followed. She corresponded with Henry II of England, Frederick Barbarrossa, and Bernard of Clairvaux . She reproved people, even the famous in her circle, for their faults. Sometime before

Extractions: The value of a microcosmic/macrocosmic world view is underscored by Professor M.D. Chenu when he states that such a consciousness makes "nature and history interlock". In other words, Hildegard holds the key to healing the dangerous dualism between nature and history, creation and salvation, mysticism and prophecy, that has dominated much of Western intellectual life for centuries. This healing will not take place in an exclusively rational mode. That is one reason why Aquinas' scholasticism has failed to return a cosmos to the West. Still, the healing of the individual is also at stake in recovering a microcosm/macrocosm psychology. For if Aquinas is correct that the individual's fulfillment can only occur in "a universe that is itself unified," then the key to that healing experience of oneness must be Hildegard's kind of spiritual cosmology. This is one reason she resorts to the mandala so often to express compassion or healing. Careful readers of Hildegard and viewers of her Illuminations will see deep influences of the ancient goddess religions, of the Roman Aurora, the Egyptian Isis, the old Germanic Horsel, and the Hebrew hokma or female Wisdom figure as well as Aztec and Native American symbols.

Brief biography, from The Christ Path.
http://www.christianmystics.com/traditional/women/hildegard1.shtml

Extractions: Mandala drawn by Hildegard of Bingen In 1141, Hildegard had a vision that changed the course of her life. A vision of God gave her instant understanding of the meaning of the religious texts, and commanded her to write down everything she would observe in her visions. "And it came to pass ... when I was 42 years and 7 months old, that the heavens were opened and a blinding light of exceptional brilliance flowed through my entire brain. And so it kindled my whole heart and breast like a flame, not burning but warming... and suddenly I understood of the meaning of expositions of the books..." Yet Hildegard was also overwhelmed by feelings of inadequacy and hesitated to act. "But although I heard and saw these things, because of doubt and low opinion of myself and because of diverse sayings of men, I refused for a long time a call to write, not out of stubbornness but out of humility, until weighed down by a scourge of God, I fell onto a bed of sickness." continued

Beliefnet:
Article says it is high time to take back hildegard of bingen from the revisionists and their causes du jour.
http://www.beliefnet.com/story/6/story_622.html

Extractions: It's time for us to take back Hildegard of Bingen. For too long, the medieval German abbess, composer, and mystical poet has been dragooned into the role of cult figure for every half-baked notion of our time. Hildegard was justly famous all over Europe during her own time, the 12 th century, as a prodigious writer, an advisor of kings and prelates, and a healer of physical and mental ills. Her meditations and musical compositions are currently enjoying a huge revival, and while this rediscovery of her spiritual depth and artistic brilliance was long overdue, the resurgence in her fame has been a mixed blessing, for Hildegard is being re-invented as a posthumous spokeswoman for feminist causes and an icon of rebellion against the church. A prime example of this revisionism involves Hildegard's best-known religious work, "Scivias." The manuscript elaborates on the abbess's many visions of Divine Wisdom. Because Wisdom is personified as a woman in the Book of Proverbs and elsewhere in scripture, Hildegard's latter-day literary admirers have cast her as a worshipper of the Goddess Sophia, just like so many feminist theologians. Elsewhere, Hildegard has been turned into a holistic-health nut because she wrote a medical treatise. Indeed, Holistic Healing, an alternative medicine anthology casts her as the veritable Hippocrates of the alternative health movement. Because she had an especially beloved friend among her nuns, she has also been appropriated by lesbians, presiding with her 12th-century contemporary, St. Aelred of Rievaulx, over the Saint Aelred and Saint Hildegard Societythe gay ministry at the Episcopal Church of the Messiah in Santa Ana, California.

This is how one of the most remarkably creative personalities of the Middle Ages, Hildegard of Bingen, describes herself: "Listen, there was once a king sitting on his throne. Around him stood great and wonderfully beautiful columns ornamented with ivory, bearing the banners of the king with great honor. Then it pleased the king to raise a small feather from the ground and he commanded it to fly. The feather flew not because of anything in itself but because the air bore it along. Thus am I." "A Feather on the Breath of God" draws upon Hildegard's large collection of music and poetry, the "Symphony of the Harmony of the Celestial Revelations" which she continued to enlarge and enrich throughout her life. It contains some of the finest songs ever written in the Middle Ages and a number of the most elaborate, the Sequences are recorded here for the first time. They are so profoundly motivated by Hildegard's devotional life that it is hard to tell whether she is exploring music and poetry through spirituality or vice versa. This is the work of deeply engaged artistry; in Hildegard's words, "of writing, seeing, hearing and knowing, all in one manner."

Extractions: Hildegard av Bingen Hildegard är en kvinna, som blev åttio år gammal, hon tillbringade hela sin levnad med studier, forskning, tänkande, skriverier och resor. Hennes hundratals brev ställdes till de ledande männen i Europa, de handlade om teologi och politik, om samtidsfrågor och medicinska spörsmål. Hon var en remarkabel kvinna, värd att känna till och att inte glömmas bort. "Vishet är mycket större än mänskligheten. Den är kosmisk och gudomlig. Den inbjuder människan att deltaga och medverka i det kosmiska." Niohundra år efter Hildegards födelse får hon en renässans, som en löpeld över världen går tidningsartiklar och internetsajter, symposier anordnas, hennes musik nyinspelas, hennes bilder nytrycks, böcker skrivs om henne och receptsamlingar och örtagårdsbeskrivningar sprids över jorden, kvinnor dansar efter hennes musik och hennes dramer inspirerar till uppträdande. En Hildegardfeber grasserar. Här skildras Hildegards idéer och tänkande och något om hennes liv, medan däremot hennes musik, medicinska kunnande och dramer utelämnas.

Norma Gentile Article From Continuo Magazine October 1997
Article about hildegard of bingen's music. By Norma Gentile, from October 1997 issue of Continuo.
http://www.continuo.com/oct97/gentile3.htm

Extractions: INTO THE DESERT By Norma Gentile The rising popularity of chant and interest in that historical era has brought the works of Hildegard von Bingen again to the forefront. She was, in her own time of the 12th century, one of the dominant religious and social figures in Europe. Acclaimed as a seer, the founder and abbess of two monasteries for women, the composer of a complete morality play set to music, she was also a poet and author of nine books. Her writings on the vibrational properties of stones and gems, medicine, herbs and theology have been embraced by a range of people, including those in the traditional Catholic Church, the New Age movement and even the general public. I am repeatedly asked how I ended up specializing in the music of Hildegard von Bingen. The story goes something like this: In such a simple and inconspicuous manner, Hildegard of Bingen entered into my life. As I examined the book, I realized that not only were the musical contents by a woman whom I did not know, but that the Latin texts were also original, and quite unusual. This was about 1990. The ‘chant’ phenomenon had not yet occurred. My adventurous explorations into plainsong must have seemed archaic even to my early music friends, and were humorously tolerated by other musicians. To my parents, it was yet another step away from financial sanity - the first had been opera, then Early Music ("what kind of music?", my mother asked repeatedly) and finally plainchant, or Gregorian chant, of this unheard of twelfth century abbess. My mother, degreed in violin and piano in the 1950’s Julliard tradition, had had no exposure to Historically Informed Practice. Fortunately, she also has had no history of heart trouble, and is surviving it all quite well now.
