Since her death in 1179; Hildegard of Bingen has commanded attention in every century. In this book Jennifer Bain traces the historical reception of Hildegard; focusing particularly on the moment in the modern era when she began to be considered as a composer. Bain examines how the activities of clergy in nineteenth-century Eibingen resulted in increased veneration of Hildegard; an authentication of her relics; and a rediscovery of her music. The book goes on to situate the emergence of Hildegards music both within the French chant restoration movement driven by Solesmes and the German chant revival supported by Cecilianism; the German movement to reform Church music more generally. Engaging with the complex political and religious environment in German speaking areas; Bain places the more recent Anglophone revival of Hildegards music in a broader historical perspective and reveals the important intersections amongst local devotion; popular culture; and intellectual activities.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Thank youBy Michelle HussJust got it in and like the lay out and designs and everything else about the book from flipping though the pages. Much like the intermediate drawing books I have bought and learned from. Even a beginner could purchase this book and learn from it. There is a lot of info on each page about supplies; steps; shapes and other techniques to use to create great characters and beasts.The book came sooner than estimated and in better condition than what was listed. Thank you a very satisfied customer. Looking forward to recreating the drawings in the book with my own personality. Thank you.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. and I like that it includes scenes and backgroundsBy Jacob GardnerIts ok. a decent selection of fantasy characters/creature; and I like that it includes scenes and backgrounds; but the drawing style is only ok.
