Free Music Notes for Hildegard von Bingen: Canticles of Ecstasy
Free Music Review: Soul-stirring
Hit: 5 Stars
Though I am not a believer, I am interested and moved by all sorts of music, including a lot of historical music. This recording was my first introduction to the amazing Hildegard von Bingen. The music she composed, to me, is best described as soul-stirring. While listening to it, I get the sensation that it has reached inside to my heart and grabbed hold. I suspect this has something to with harmonics, neurology, etc. and is beyond my level of understanding, but I can't deny the wonderful feeling of soul fulfillment it gives me. This was an excellent purchase.
P.S. The feminist in me can't help but love that this was all composed by a woman nearly a millenium ago. Wow.
Free Music Review: Different -- delightfully so
Hit: 5 Stars
I didn't get a chance to read all the reviews posted for this album, so if someone already said this I apologize for the repetition. Are you aware that this is the de facto first opera ever written in Europe? Hildegard was a visionary in so many ways! Her music is very different and unique when compared to other operas. I highly recommend it.Free Music Review: Simply awe inspiring and amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
One would have to listen to this music to understand the power it will hold over you. Ethereal and almost eery, yet full of power, grace and triumph, this will be a mainstay in your collection. The only thing resembling it that the mass public would be aware of is Gregorian Chant, although this is it's own beast and so much more. It's not expensive, buy it and see for yourself. Free Music Review: Ecstatic Music, Ecstatically Performed.
Hit: 5 Stars
I had first heard this performance of St. Hildegard of Bingen's "Canticles of Ecstasy" on sound cassette and loved it.
The music is sublime. The female voices are heavenly, without a hint of sentimentality.
When you listen to "Canticles of Ecstasy" you will know how this medieval nun and composer felt about things.
Caution. They could make a believer of you.
