PER-SONAT

The Wisdom of Angels What did angels know that we have forgotten? This production seeks the answer from two visionary thinker-artists: Hildegard von Bingen and Heinrich von Meißen, alias Frauenlob. She: mystic, composer and centuries later the heroine of the new-age movement – a spiritual phenomenon avant la lettre. He: itinerant poet and minnesinger, celebrated and imitated long after his death. Their music unlocks a world in which sound is simultaneously mystical experiment and pure imagination. Hildegard's ecstatic chants and Frauenlob's refined minnesang are carried by the voices, lute, vielle and bagpipe of PER-SONAT: the medieval specialist you must have heard in this repertoire. Programme: Music by H. von Bingen and H. von Meißen
