Ordo Virtutum

Album by Hildegard von Bingen & Ensemble Belcanto & Dietburg Spohr

Ordo Virtutum is a liturgical morality play composed by the 12th-century abbess Hildegard von Bingen, completed around 1151. Set for solo voices and chorus in a monophonic chant idiom with theatrical dialogue between allegorical characters, it is one of the earliest extant musical dramas and occupies a prominent place in studies of medieval sacred music and Hildegard's own output.
First released: 2013
