Join us for Viridian: the music and life of Hildegard von Bingen, a unique series of events exploring the contemporary resonances of the music and life of one of the most remarkable women of the Middle Ages. Hildegard von Bingen (1098 – 1179) was a visionary, mystic, poet, healer, naturalist and theologian. She was also the world’s first named composer – and the most prolific and original musician of her time.
Viriditas (Latin for “green truth” or “greening power”) speaks to the intrinsic and vital relationships that exist between all living beings. The concept is central to the systematic botanical and medicinal texts – for which Hildegard is recognized as the founder of German naturalism – and is a theme key to her life-long ecstatic visions that are strikingly documented in the poetic lyrics and soaring melodies of her music, and in the texts and illuminations of her theological and cosmological treaties.
For this event, Dr Mimi Haddon (University of Sussex) reflects on women in 20th century popular music and their links to Hildegard von Bingen.
