Voices of Connection: 08/25 Hildegard von Bingen: O Viridissima Virgo

Here is another exceedingly beautiful chant by the German Abbess Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179). On the YouTube page, you will find the entire text and translation. This exceptional recording features our dear friend and colleague, Alexandra Montano, who was so very special as an artist and as a human being. Her passing many years ago, in the prime of her life, was very difficult for all of us. We remember the unique color of her low mezzo voice and her deep musicality. Art always poured out of her in a totally natural way. We miss you, Alexandra!
