![]() Where Hildegard’s musical brilliance shines brightest is the sublimity of the liturgical poetry that accompanies it. ![]() The melodic variety of Hildegard’s chant, ranging from the highly florid works of her early years to the more restrained chant, reflect her intimate familiarity with chant genres and the compositional practices of late medieval chant. More works can be definitely attributed to Hildegard than any other composer from the Middle Ages. She is by far the most famous composer of plainchant, and her 77 liturgical chants and morality play have found a happy place today in the repertoires of both religious congregations and classical and New Age artists alike. Perhaps no other medieval composer has captivated the interests of popular audiences, scholars, and the religious faithful as Hildegard of Bingen.
