Description

Explore one of the first known large-scale compositions by a named composer in the Western canon. This book provides a deep look into Hildegard von Bingen's Ordo Virtutum, a twelfth-century music-drama that stands apart from its precursors due to its expansive duration and unique structure. Through an ambitious analysis by Michael, readers gain insight into the complex imagery and non-biblical narrative that define this work. As a poetic meditation on the fall of a soul, the Ordo utilizes eighty-seven chants, personified virtues, and various musical forces. This text helps scholars and music enthusiasts understand the context and genre of this significant historical piece. Whether you are studying medieval music or the history of Western composition, this Routledge publication offers a detailed perspective on a foundational musical work.
