From the Author
When I was doing research for my Master's thesis in Musicology, I was looking for an obscure woman composer to "discover." Hildegard of Bingen caught my attention immediately. Her music is unique. It is exciting, imaginative, innovative--and it is the largest amount of surviving medieval music from any single composer. So often in history, when a woman did something outside of the ordinary, she worked in obscurity, and her work might not be recognized or valued until well after her death. In contrast to this all-too-frequent scenario, Hildegard of Bingen was a woman who had been a composer nine hundred years ago AND was well-known and admired during her lifetime. Hildegard was not obscure enough for my purposes, so I chose someone else for my thesis, but I thought, wow, what a life! She was so incredibly gifted and inspiring that I knew I had to write about her.
