A mystic and abbess who founded two monasteries for women, Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) wrote seven books on the subject of medicine, theology, herbology, biology and botany, as well as two biographies of saints. She included seventy-seven songs, all of them sacred monophonic chants, all with Latin texts, in her first theological book, Scivias.
The tenth child of a noble family, she was promised to the church as a tithe, and came to live in a hermitage at the age of eight. In 1136 she was elected abbess of a growing group of women which was adjunct to a men's Benedictine monastery. Throughout her life she experienced unusual clairvoyance and visionary experiences. She suppressed these until about 1141, when she was commanded, through a vision, to write and speak about her knowledge and insights gained from these experiences. Failing to do so, she became seriously ill, and did not arise from her bed until she began in earnest to write Scivias.
This book is based on a series of twenty-six visions, the last one a musical rendering of the final vision, in which she experienced a "sound like the voice of a multitude singing in harmony, in praise of the celestial hierarchy." This song cycle is entitled the Symphonia armonie celestium revelationum or Symphony of the Harmony of Celestial Revelations and chants from it were intended for use in daily worship services. Her understanding of music may be characterized best by her own words, "symphonialis est anima" or "the soul is symphonic".
