Hildegard von Bingen and extraneous chants

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry. In today’s episode, we are going to learn about more forms of chant that we see in a mass and explore a very important figure in the 12th century who was a prolific composer of sacred chant.

Featured chant is taken from a concert performed in October of 2023 by Voices in Rochester, NY. Here is a link to that full concert which was recorded and live-streamed by Incarnate Word Church. https://www.youtube.com/live/kOdDehWTd14?si=Oa6YKeghNp_Op4NL
