Hildegard of Bingen, "Celestial Harmonies: Responsories and Antiphons". Hildegard is of course the multi-talented abbess from the 12th Century who has been rediscovered to great acclaim in recent years. Her range and accomplishments are legendary; particularly, she anticipated many creative progressions of the future, including writing what could be the first Opera. While some recent interpretations of her work have expanded her chorales with instrumentation, this disc focuses on the works in their pure a capella beauty. A quartet of women and a quarter of men, chosen from the Oxford.

These performances by the Oxford Camerata, conducted by Jeremy Summerly, however, fall at the most austere end of the spectrum and apply the performance practices of cloistered plainsong to Hildegard's music. It's a valid approach that provides a bracingly plain version of the music, which in the absence of more detail in Hildegard's notation may or may not be "authentic," a quality that will forever be the subject of speculation.

The Oxford Camerata is a chamber choir based in Oxford. The Camerata was founded in 1984 by conductor Jeremy Summerly and singers David Hurley and Henrietta Cowling and gave its first performance on 22 May of that year.

Oxford Camerata, Jeremy Summerly (director). Hildegard, born 910 years ago is the first composer we can confidently identify by name. Technically simple though they may be, her melodies are imaginative and sensual. In these responsories and antiphons, Jeremy Summerly's pure-voiced sopranos bring rhythmic purpose to her waywardly ecstatic melodies, without impairing their heady devotional atmosphere. Beauty of sound fully compensates for any lack of verbal clarity in these settings of mystical poetry, still as enigmatic in translation as in Hildegard's idiosyncratic Latin.
