This month's composer is one of the oldest known composers of all time, dating back over 900 years ago! Hildegard of Bingen was an extraordinary 12th century nun, missionary, prophet and an expert in many subjects. She is known for her work as a composer, writer, philosopher, poet, playwright, linguist, scientist, physician, and more. One of the most remarkable women from the Medieval era. Hildegard transcended gender, status, and social norms and restrictions to become one of the most famous people of her day and continues to inspire today. We loved learning about life in the Medieval time period and how her music differs drastically from ours today.
O Aeterne Deus
