Mirjana Petercol "Hommage a Hildegard von Bingen" Concert - Germany

Mirjana PetercolOn 16th December, 8 pm, Mirjana Petercol performs at Capella Hospitalis, Bielefeld.

"Hommage a Hildegard von Bingen" honors Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1098 to 1179) who is described as abbess, artist, author, composer, mystic, pharmacist, poet, preacher, theologian - a most remarkable woman.

St. Hildegard von Bingen was regarded as an ingenious figure long before she became a religious lecturer (Doctor Ecclesiae universalis) in 2012. Their theological works and their scientific writings testify to profound knowledge and great creativity. Likewise, their musical oeuvre, which naturally belongs to the church context, is a peculiarity in the music of the Middle Ages. Here, too, the composer Hildegard acts as a connoisseur, an innovator and an avant-garde.

The three Christian-spiritual composers (Sofia Gubaidulina, Violeta Dinescu, Diana Cemeryte) deliberately deal with psalms and Hildegard's works in their concertacordon works. Thus the newly composed works seem to be a continuation of Hildegard's thoughts and fit into a unity.
