In an age when most of the medieval art which has survived has done so anonymously, Hildegard seems to foreshadow modern notions of a composer. An avant-garde visionary of her day, the depth and range of her music lend themselves to modern re-imaginings. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice's Sequentiae Hildegardenses were written over a period of 12 years in collaboration with the ensemble Mediva. Hugh Collins Rice, a composer who has often been drawn to the ideas and techniques of early music, was inspired by Mediva's medieval instruments, using a musical language which remains authentic and expressive in a 21st-century context, whilst also illuminating the 12th-century music of Hildegard. His music references the serene world of Hildegard's own compositions, but also reflects the darker strands in her writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice was fascinated by the sonorities of Mediva's instruments, which provide a palette of timbres unavailable on modern instruments. As he puts it, the 'earthy expressiveness of shawms is a sound completely different from any of its modern successors. The small medieval harp has a very subtle range of colour, and the medieval fiddle has a naturally soft veiled tone. Together with recorders, a blended ensemble is achievable which sounds fresh and new'.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMediva's credo is to bring passion and life to music of the past. Featuring an international line-up of virtuoso performers educated at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, Mediva has been a spontaneous, imaginative and successful group for over ten years, performing a range of music from the 12th to 15th centuries. Mediva's concerts are full of energy, passion and joie de vivre, and the group has appeared in many of the major music festivals in the UK and on the continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHildegard Von Bingen - Karitas (Psalm Antiphon For The Holy Spirit)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice - Sequentiae Hildegardenses II: Karitas - Prima Pars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice - Sequentiae Hildegardenses II: Karitas - Secunda Pars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice - Sequentiae Hildegardenses II: Karitas - Tertia Pars\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHildegard Von Bingen - O Euchari (Sequence For St. Eucharius)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice - Sequentiae Hildegardenses I: O Euchari\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHildegard Von Bingen - Ave Maria (Responsory For The Virgin)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice - Sequentiae Hildegardenses IV: O Coruscans Lux\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHildegard Von Bingen - O Splendidissima Gemma (Psalm Antiphon For The Virgin)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice - Sequentiae Hildegardenses VI: Quae Est Ista\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHildegard Von Bingen - O Rubor Sanguinis (Antiphon For The 11,000 Virgins)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHildegard Von Bingen - Sed Diabolus (Psalm Antiphon For The 11,000 Virgins)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice - Sequentiae Hildegardenses III: Musica Diabolo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHildegard Von Bingen - O Eccelesia (Sequence For The 11,000 Virgins)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Collins Rice - Sequentiae Hildegardenses V: Ave\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHildegard Von Bingen - Karitas (Psalm Antiphon For The Holy Spirit)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55170994241921,"sku":"585226","price":6.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61dIqNUGwlL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768105621","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/585226","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
