Just learned about the music from Hildegard of Bingen.   Touches your soul.Life and Work: Born around 1098, Hildegard lived into her 80s, dying in 1179. She was elected magistra (mother superior) of her convent at Disibodenberg in 1136 and established her own monasteries at Rupertsberg and Eibingen. Her works span multiple disciplines, including theology, natural science, medicine, music, and literature.
•Music: She is one of the earliest recorded female composers, with her works including “Ordo Virtutum,” considered one of the first morality plays, and numerous liturgical songs.
•Visions: Hildegard was also famous for her mystical visions, which she documented in works like “Scivias” (Know the Ways of the Lord), “Liber Vitae Meritorum” (Book of Life’s Merits), and “Liber Divinorum Operum” (Book of Divine Works).
•Influence: She has been canonized and named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012, recognizing her theological contributions. Her holistic approach to health, known as “Hildegard medicine,” continues to influence alternative healing practices.
