Love St. Hildegard. I listen to her music almost daily. There is an 8+ hour video on KZfaq with all her works in it.

I've read a few of Hildegard's letters in Latin and her Latin is pretty good. Her way of expressing herself is actually very beautiful. I enjoy them immensely

Oh! that singing was lovely. 🎶🎶🎶Your knowledge is much appreciated my darling. Thank you! 🙏🏽

I have loved Hildegard for more than twenty-five years. Her insight, her wisdom, and her courage are a great inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing about this amazing figure.

Really AWESOME! Thank you.

I am studying her for a German history course I am currently taking and this has significantly helped me connect many pieces of the work together, thankyou!!

Rebecca, is it? Thank you so very sincerely! Your obvious enthusiasm for your subject and your so very gorgeous singing, and your absolutely infectious “joie de vie,” make me both laugh and weep profusely, two things that, if I don’t greatly enjoy each day, I tend to a sort of vague distemper unto depression… I’m Gnostic, and Hildegard of Bingen overlays my beliefs rather seamlessly, perhaps even “shamelessly”… That this amazing woman was able to challenge the undeniably paternalistic and misogynistic frenetic frat boys in Rome, and have her way in her day, totally rocks my plimsouls! Her music is obviously divinely inspired (I, at least, begin weeping within minutes!), and her lovely words excoriating the Papal pablum of the “F,S and HG” and their priapic pitilessness is astounding… I believe the true “Trinity,” is Jesus, the Blessed Nazarene, and Mary (the “Magdala,” not the “mother,” but the “companion” of Jesus… no “virgins” need apply!), and the Effulgent Holy Mother, “Sophia,” is a decidedly more “aligned with the Divine Feminine” crew than that “drag queen boys club” in Rome, and it speaks volumes… Mega-Namaste Rebecca, you are a balm unto my soul, and a lamp unto my feet! Surely goodness and mercy will follow us in hired livery’s which will wait outside upon our streets “until the girls say when” (ref. “Josie” / Steely Dan)… I just love you like great heavenly metaphors… “I’m in Heaven when you smile!” (Ref. “Jackie Wilson Said” / Van Morrison)… No one would even DARE to try to stop me from subscribing, even with one hand tied securely behind my back… - XOXOXO! Glenn Jones PS: “Gloria (‘in excelcis’), I think they’ve got your number, I think they’ve got the alias, that you’ve been livin’ under”… < > “Even now, If I see in my soul the citron-breasted fair one, Still gold tinted, her face like our night stars, Drawing unto her; her body beaten about with flame, Wounded by the flaring spear of love, My first of all by reason of her fresh years, Then is my heart buried alive in snow… …Even now, my eyes that hurry to see no more are painting, painting, Faces of my lost girl. O golden rings, That tap against cheeks of small magnolia leaves, O whitest so soft parchment where My poor divorced lips have written excellent Stanzas of kisses, and will write no more… … Even now, I know that I have savored the hot taste of life, Lifting green cups and gold at the great feast, Just for a small and forgotten time, I have had full in my eyes from off my girl, The whitest pouring of eternal light--“ from: “Black Marigolds” (translated from the Sanskrit by E. W. Powys)…

Beautiful voice! Thank you for this programme. Very interesting.

I just finished my Medieval Europe Final on Hildegard von Bingen,I cannot get enough and always delighted to learn something new. I never realized her Convent in Rupertsberg was only two train stops from where I live, unfortunately under the train tracks. -Thanks Prussia.

Royal University of the Midrealm. Yes. Thank you. Great presentation. Much appreciated.

I was actually assigned a reading on Hildegard for my Medieval Women Writers course and was confused on the reading so I popped over to KZfaq and found this! The reading pretty much lined up with your lecture and helped me internalize what I was learning to fully understand! Thank you! I'm not really religious, though I did grow up Catholic and learning about this stuff at the age I'm at now is so fascinating. Hildegard was THE GIRL BOSS of her time.

I love that she was a consultant to the priests...like, she was that gifted. I had a vision of standing next to some royalty (?) inside very crude cave like dwelling. i felt as though I were a consultant of sorts to the king/queen/priest/priestess sitting next to me on the stage above the people of the city. They were looking to us...I don't know what this means but I know it does behoove the elites to consult those who have preternatural gifts. I mean, look how JP morgan chase consulted an astrologer before boarding his nemesis on the Titanic. She said don't board it, it will sink. That was Evangeline Adams. I'm sure another iteration of our gifted ancestors.

Thank you 💕

Hello pls can you reupload the handout Wonderful lecture keen to get onboard with the channel Wishing u Peace profound

The contemporary reconstructions of her music I've heard from her brings tears to my eyes and I have no idea why. Looking up more about her. Why I'm here.

What a blessed holy woman.. my heart hurts for the small child getting dropped off at the Abby and cloistered..

I'm glad you know of her. I was going to say Hildegard deserves something better than a visual parody - but then I heard you sing

I am so interested in her now. She is such an interesting person. I can't wait to learn more about her. Thanks so much for teaching this class.

Just have to say I love your energy and personality! Thanks for sharing about Hildegard. She seems like such an interesting person, I can't wait to learn more about her...

This is so high quality please keep them coming I can't believe you don't have millions of subscribers. I love Saint Von bingans if I've said that correctly music and was so interested to learn all of these things. I'm going to look for an English translation of the morality place she wrote. Thank you again and God bless. I'm going to show my son this video so you can see that young people join religious orders.

Small corrections but crucial- her music is melismatic not neumatic. The notation system at that time was neumatic ( meaning symbols that not only represent pitches but vocal inflection and compound syllabic and melismatic movements); she did have her somewhat own idiomatic system which helps us understand her unique musical intentions. Also I believe the person whose burial she allowed was a suspected suicide, which makes her commitment to his being buried in sanctified ground all the more radical and imbued with her understanding of forgiveness and compassion. She may have described herself as uneducated, but that reflects her lack of “ formal” education. Clearly she was surrounded by literacy and scholarship at the monasteries; her extensive brilliant writings, poetry, letters, tracts and scientific texts show she can hardly be considered “ uneducated”.

I wonder if Hildegard didn't mention Jutta because of her asceticism which was extremely harsh - on herself at least. This is only a guess. Both Hildegard and Julian of Norwich stressed the great love of God in times when harshness was in vogue. Thank you for a terrific video. Paz y luz

Thank you! Hoping to learn more about her music--you do such a great job presenting (and singing) her works!!

Your Title/pic for your video misspelled 'Hildegard' ( hidegard) ... You may want to correct!😊❤

Thank you for this 🙏🏻 I resonate with her so deeply ✨✨

I'm fascinated with this teacher and your beautiful singing. May I ask if you're a nun? If so, it's the first time I've seen one with painted nails. :-) Thank you for this lesson on one of our greatest mystics.

Asolut GOD and absolut HUMAN BEING LORD JESUS with his love and pease bless you for yor reseach about HIlDEGARD DER BINGEN AMEN

Beautiful lessons to share with the world at this time. It's very inspiring to learn of a simple church woman of the 12th century having so much continuing influence. I imagine along with her piety, she had the personality of a fierce tigress!

جلال بر نام قدوس عیسی مسیح خداوند سلام و ادب بر مادر خدا مریم مقدس و سلام و ادب بر پیامبر بزرگ هیلدگارد بزرگ و شما دختر عیسی مسیح با زحماتتان در تحقیق .برکت خدای پدر و پسر و روح القدوس بر شما امین

The Mother of All walks in the world in many forms. Her Priestesses are Her incarnate. You won't know them.

Thank you so much for this video!!! She is so fascinating indeed! Did you study about her in college?

Amen HERR

Hello, dear Rebecca! Thank you for your beautiful insights on Hidegard`s life. I'm working on a project about her. Do you think ,that it would be possible, that I would receive the handout for this class ?! And also I am interested in your work on her music. Thanking you in advance for your understanding and your help !!!

You say she was walled in a small space but I'm curious about that, they must have had a garden to grow food and supplies to come as well?

I didn't intentionally name myself after her, but i thought i might as well know the basics of the life of my most famous namesake

I was looking for you on Facebook - what city?

The link to the Google drive handout does not work for me.

She was a Healer and Herbologist

Can you please provide the link to the handout? The link provided does not work. Thank you so kindly.

Do you still have the handout available?Google says it does not exist. Thanks so much..

I came here because I have to study for my History of music exam. So here is the moment where the class goes more deep in Hildegarde music. Minute 15'47'' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g99xfc2oltOzmGQ.html Greate singing by the way :D

Fyi, before you make a video about Jutta von Sponheim, her name is pronounced Yut-tah. Very common in many languages, and definitely the Germanic ones, for the J to represent a Y sound. English is a bit unusual in that the J is a hard G sound but that is not the case in German.

Ah Hildegarde.. pioneering botanist, biological genius, prolific poet, writer of the highest regard. Mystic woman with visions coming straight from god on spirituality, humanity. Cosmologist. Astrologer. Canonized Saint. Grew up in a walled off room in a church, illiterate yet accomplished all of this in a prolonged life at a time when women were non importante n mortality rates were ridiculous. She sounds like old Le Compte St Germaine. A lil bit too unreal to be real. Really.

Sounds like she was a kind of psyop, planted by her noble family in order to gain favor, power, and authority in ecclesiastical matters as well as politics. I would even go so far as to deduce that she received very specialized training in these fields for that very purpose. The fact that she received so much financial support also seems a bit sketchy to me. This enigmatic figure deserves so much more attention and analysis than she receives. Thank you for this wonderful lesson, and for blessing us with your voice.

The Fatima apparitions took place in 1917, in the midst of WWII.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 from the Bible ❤

You expect us to take you seriously when you wear a wrinkly head covering while "lecturing". How pretentious and preposterous! Have some respect.
