Thank you for your video!!! I am a huge believer of the power of St Hildegard's music! A true Holy Woman! May God bless you for making this video! Take care. (Have you made any other presentations of saints of the Church?)
wow! what an amazing breakdown. Here because of my "Enjoyment of Music" class. Reading on plainchant and Hildegard's story led me to youtube to find out more. Something was intriguing about her and boy was I right. Your thumbnail stood out and I couldn't be happier. Thanks!
Dear Nadine, thank you so much for this short version of Hildegard’s life. Great work. I love it!!! (No matter at all, that some pronunciation isn’t correct German.)
Liber = "LEE-bair" - emphasis on the first syllable Vita = "VEE-tah" - emphasis on the first syllable Meritorum = "mair-ee-TOR-oom" - emphasis on the "penult" or second to last syllable Liber Divinorum Operum = "LEE-bair dee-vee-NOR-oom OHP-air-oom"
Thank you for this resource! I am so thankful for the work you did for this. I am sure St. Hildegard is, too. Is it possible to get your script? I'd like to share with my students, but I would like to pronounce the German and Latin properly. I'm sorry I am a stickler for languages, and we have been diving deeply into Latin lately. :) Not that I don't get things wrong, too. :) God bless you!
Really fun, great drawings, nice synopsis, thank you! Next time practice the pronunciations first, many German, Latin, and English words are all off. You sound like a friend of mine who's from another planet.
I’d give a fuck how you pronounce it, I now know her general history cause visual and aural together=memory! Thanks! I’d love to see more vids like this
Lovely video, but Latin, German, and even some English words aren't pronounced very well--so many of your fans would be happy to help! Wish you'd explained more about what made her music different from Gregorian chant, since Gregorian chant is also monophonic.
This is a video from over six years ago now for a short project for one of my university courses. I was nineteen years old at the time and had never taken a Latin or German course in my life. I do however fluently speak English and Arabic and clearly have a level of etiquette that you can not comprehend. I will be deleting this video as I was completely unaware that it had gained this much traction in the first place.
Hildegard herself never mastered the finer points of Latin grammar, so I think that maybe we're getting hung up here on style rather than substance, hmm?
