Contemporary Hildegard: The Ursula Antiphons - Video
PUBLISHED:  Feb 22, 2015
DESCRIPTION:
1, 3, and 9 from the Ursula Antiphons
Two weeks ago, I made a video about the most badass (and influential) women in classical music. The top woman on that list was Saint Hildegard von Bingen. I realized that most people without a background of classical music have not heard of her and have no context for her work.

Hildegard was extremely important to the progress of all music because she was one of the first composers to write such flowing and intricate melodic lines, and the use of harmony in her works was groundbreaking. If you would like to learn more about her, I would suggest watching the video I made about her and 8 other amazing women in classical music here:

I would like to point out that the audio is exactly what was captured by mic'ing room sound (with a small amount of compression and EQ). We seemed to have found the most reverberant room in all of seattle.

Also, I am aware that the type of chords I used are not historically accurate at a couple points. Using a microphone and looping pedal isn't historically accurate in the first place, so suspend your disbelief.
