The Honors College Humanities Sequence presents
Chants of Hildegard von Bingen
performed by Margaret Waddell
Ellis Library, Room 201
Monday, Feb. 20, 12 noon-1pm
Join us for a transporting, inspiring lunchtime concert of medieval music.
Hildegard von Bingen was a Benedictine abbess in the 12th century. She composed 77 chants, plus a morality play containing 87 chants called Ordo Virtutum (Order of the Virtues), which is the earliest known western music-drama by a single composer. Unlike Gregorian chant, Hildegard’s expressive melodies contain large leaps, with the range sometimes spanning well over an octave. Please join us—and encourage your faculty and staff to attend as well.
