Music reviews of Hildegard von Bingen & Birgitta von Schweden
Music Review: Medieval Magic
Rating: 4 Stars
This stirring spiritual album contains songs, symphonies and antiphons of Hildegard of Bingen and Birgitta of Sweden. The vocals are by Miriam Andersen, Kelly Landerkin & Marilia Vargas who are accompanied by Susanne Ansorg on medieval fiddle and Michael Form on recorder flute. Tracks 2,4,5,8, 9 and 12 come from Birgitta's Cantus Sonorum whilst 1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11 & 13 are from Hildegard's Symphonia Harmoniae Caelestium Revelationum.
All the compositions are in Latin. Of Birgitta's music, the most uplifting is the magnificent Annuntietur In Universa Terra, whilst Latuit and O Virga are more subdued prayers. Iam laetaris is joyful with a more complex structure whilst the long piece Christe Patris Excelsi has a lovely interaction between recorder and fiddle.
My favorite amongst Hildegard's compositions is the antiphon Hodie Aparuit Nobis Clausa Porta. Other lovely songs include O Viridissima Virga with its soaring voices over the drone-like fiddle, the long and somber number O Virga Ac Diadema and the comforting Caritas Habundat In Omnia.
The album is a great introduction to the mystical Christian music of the middle ages. The sound has an uplifting effect on the spirit. I also recommend Monk And The Abbess: Music of Hildegard von Bingen and Meredith Monk.
