What is so fascinating about some medieval nun’s songs?Better known for her important work as a naturalist and physician, Abbess Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) also composed more than one hundred and fifty liturgical songs and melodies, which were rediscovered in the late 1970s by the ensemble Sequentia and its two directors, Barbara Thornton and Benjamin Bagby. In this sixth episode, Bagby tells us about the rediscovery of early music in the second half of the twentieth century, a movement to which he and his ensemble contributed greatly.
