The sounds and the tuning system open up a whole special world of its own. They have also served as a pre models for some modern instruments as we know them today. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><b>More detailed information on the church concert O tu illustrata<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two remarkable nuns: \u00a0<\/span><b>Saint Hildegard of Bingen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Saint Bridget of Sweden<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the former born 1098 and the latter 1303, over two hundred years apart. \u00a0Both of them left a great legacy in the Church and both of them loved music. However the differences in their musical preferences are huge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abbess Hildegard wrote music with a range unusually wide, although in old fashioned style. She used all extremes of a human voice to interpret the vivid musical visions given to her. Unlike many of her colleagues she however gave a value to instruments as well. She mentions the trombone, organ, flute, string instruments, psaltery, harp and the frame drum, all of them given a very noble character attached to the spiritual life. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saint Bridget on the other hand accepted only human voice. And preferably only the middle range of it. Her idea of proper music was much more archaic than Hildegard\u00b4s but also her wish was to hear chanting prayer in the convent throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The program for a church concert O tu Illustrata presents music from the convents of Saint Hildegard of Bingen and Bridget of Sweden. The instruments selected follow Hildegard\u00b4s ideas, like the flute representing the Holy Spirit, the organ representing the multiple voices of a congregation to mention a few. The Bridgettine songs are performed unaccompanied as she wanted them to be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The instruments featured: Organetto, gothic harp, symphonia, rebec, dulcimer, double recorder, recorders flutes and bells. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Concerts\u00a0 I) \u00a0O tu illustrata &#8211; church concert \u00a070 mins Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) Medieval Bridgettine Chants (More detailed information on this concert in the end of this page) II)\u00a0The Travelling Troubadour 30-45 mins (suits especially schools) Medieval music from all around the Europe Troubadour and trouvere songs: Chansons de femme, Pi\u00e6 Cantiones, Cantigas de &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duomedieval.eu\/?page_id=107\" class=\"more-link\">Jatka lukemista<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8221;Programs&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duomedieval.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/107"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duomedieval.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duomedieval.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duomedieval.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.duomedieval.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=107"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.duomedieval.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":136,"href":"https:\/\/www.duomedieval.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/107\/revisions\/136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.duomedieval.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
