- Notes: Hildegard Transfigured – A medieval trance. Voice performs alongside Celestial Sirens directed by Deborah Roberts & Laurie Stras. Innerstrings: Chris Tomsett & visual artist TBC. Mystic, philosopher, artist, scientist and musician, the nun Hildegard of Bingen has become a household name. Composed in the 11th century, when only a single line was normally notated, her soaring and haunting melodies lend themselves to countless transformations from simple drones and improvised organum to new arrangements and compositions. In this programme Hildegard’s striking images are combined with 3-D lighting visuals to reproduce some of the transfiguring visions she experienced. Also includes medieval ensemble music from European convents.
