Hildegard of Bingen: De Spiritu Sancto (Holy Spirit, The Quickener Of Life)

Hildegard of Bingen (German: Hildegard von Bingen; Latin: Hildegardis Bingensis; c. 1098 - 17 September 1179), also known as Saint Hildegard and the Sibyl of the Rhine, was a German Benedictine abbess and polymath active as a writer, composer, philosopher, mystic, visionary, and as a medical writer and practitioner during the High Middle Ages. She is one of the best-known composers of sacred monophony, as well as the most recorded in modern history. She has been considered by scholars to be the founder of scientific natural history in Germany.
Hildegard's convent elected her as Magistra (mother superior) in 1136. She founded the monasteries of Rupertsberg in 1150 and Eibingen in 1165. Hildegard wrote theological, botanical, and medicinal works, as well as letters, hymns, and antiphons for the liturgy. She wrote poems and supervised miniature illuminations in the Rupertsberg manuscript of her first work, Scivias. There are more surviving chants by Hildegard than by any other composer from the entire Middle Ages, and she is one of the few known composers to have written both the music and the words. One of her works, the Ordo Virtutum, is an early example of liturgical drama and arguably the oldest surviving morality play. She is noted for the invention of a constructed language known as Lingua Ignota.

About St. Jospeh National Shrine:
Built with the gifts of the Slovenian people, the church had to wait a long time for the interior to be arranged. In May 1941, a magnificent main altar with a statue of St. Jožef (made by sculptor Božidar Pengov). But this decoration only enriched the church for a short time. In 1949, the post-war authorities confiscated it, together with the two houses and all other property, in the pursuit of the Jesuits. On April 23, 1949, the two priests took the Blessed Sacrament to the cathedral. The next day, Holy Sunday, the bells no longer invited us to worship... During the visit of John Paul II. in 1996, it was returned again and now it is renewed waiting for the blessing. It housed a film studio in the post-war years. It was rebuilt and damaged, so the state restored it and returned it to its former beauty.

My 32yo son took his own life 24.4.24. He was a gifted musician and a committed Christian. Only 3 days before he died we had talked of Hildegard of Bingen and he encouraged me to listen to any of her work. I have now. Thank you.

[@zevnikov]

Oh my God. My deep condolences. Take care dear Heather. I am in tears now. Next video of Hildegard will be dedicated to him. What was his name?

[@heatherh3750]

His name is Jonathan. He was a gifted musician and committed Christian - I pray that he’s with his God now. Thank you.

[@monicageronimi9505]

Meraviglioso!!!!! Bravissime

[@LucienMarine]

In her brief, luminous hymn, De Spiritu Sancto, the twelfth century Rhineland mystic Hildegard von Bingen celebrates the universal life force, endlessly animating and regenerating as it dances through all forms to pervade the whole of nature. Influences on music include the sonic tapestry of the Gospel and the Church for man to be merciful to God. This Christian spiritual renewal is a blessing. *Lucien*

But Hildegard was German

[@shaetteb1272]

I'm Canadian what's Slovenian that I would know because so far your claim lacks proof. All I know about Slovenia is your somewhere between Italy and Russia. Not an insult genuinely curious, are y'all Baltic, Slavic or something else.

[@GaiusPrimusMatius]

​@@shaetteb1272In general, we are Slavs, but in a way "Germanized"...Slovenia was under the Holy Roman Empire for 1000 years and therefore Germanic culture plays a huge role..only the border area with Italy was more under Italian influence.. . Slovenia was under Yugoslav rule for only 73 years, which is why people perceive it as a Balkan country, but it is not at all, neither genetically, nor culturally, nor geographically...Slovenia is a highly developed country and ranks 13th among 50 European countries in quality of life....17. in the world for the quality of life....The human development index is 23rd in the world before countries like Austria, France, Italy,...Slovenia borders Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia, so it is far from Russia. ....it would only take me 2 hours to Venice....I am from Piran, a beautiful medieval city with Venetian architecture....Slovenia is one of the safest and cleanest countries in the world.....In 2017 it was the capital Ljubljana ranked 1st for the greenest capital in Europe and in the same year, Slovenia and Norway were ranked 1st in the world for the most suitable country to raise children...enjoy...peace and love ❤ ❤❤❤ ❤
