Where its 2001 predecessor focused on contemporary composition by Wolfgang Rihm and others (Come un'ombra di luna), this disc looks at Hildegard of Bingen's Ordo Virtutum, written around 1150 and generally considered the first large-scale musical work beyond the prescribed form of the Mass liturgy. This is sacred music reflecting Medieval thought, as music and morality play are intertwined. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her creative interpretation, Belcanto leader Dietburg Spohr waives claims to 'objective' historical literalness. Instead, she and her fellow singers encounter the work as if it were written specifically for the Ensemble Belcanto: 'We sought to free Hildegard from mystical-esoteric associations and to emphasize the work of an emancipated woman and composer.' They have been performing the music of Hildegard von Bingen since the early 1990s, and view her compositions as a joyously experimental bridge between the Middle Ages and contemporary music.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsemble Belcanto was formed in 1986 by mezzo-soprano Dietburg Spohr, then a member of Clytus Gottwald's Schola Cantorum in Stuttgart, drawing on her experiences in improvisation as well as choral music, classical singing and new music performance. The group has been committed to adventurous programming from the outset, and many composers have written music for the ensemble.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Dietburg Spohr (mezzo-soprano, conductor), Andrea Baader, Martina Scharstein, Selina Drews (soprano), Edith Murasov (mezzo-soprano), Benjamin Cromme, Lilith Reid (spoken voice)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatriarchae Et Prophetae\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatriarchae Et Prophetae\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuerela Animarum In Carne Positarum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFelix Anima\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFelix Anima\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSed Gravata Anima Conqueritur\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnima Illa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScientia Dei Ad Animam Illam\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInfelix Anima\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScientia Dei\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnima Illa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrepitus Diabolo Ad Animam Illam\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiabolus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumilitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumilitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumilitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaritas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimor Dei\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiabolus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObedientia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFides\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCastitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInnocentia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContemptus Mundi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmor Caelestis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisciplina\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerecundia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMisericordia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictoria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscretio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatientia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumilitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuerela Animarum Paenitentis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnima Illa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnima Illa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaenitens Anima Ad Virtutes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnima Illa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumilitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumilitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiabolus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaenitens Anima\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnima Illa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumilitas Ad Victoriam\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictoria Ad Virtutes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumilitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictoria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCastitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiabolus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCastitas\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilog\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55308401246593,"sku":"230679","price":17.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/519IGLrLe3L._SL1500.jpg?v=1769890868","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/230679","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
