A Feather on the Breath of God

Album by Hildegard von Bingen & Gothic Voices & Christopher Page & Emma Kirkby

A Feather on the Breath of God is an album of music by Abbess Hildegard of Bingen, released in 1985. The recording presents Hildegard's 12th-century monophonic liturgical chant, characterised by modal melodies, expansive vocal ranges and melismatic lines, and it forms part of the late 20th-century revival of interest in medieval sacred repertory and early-music performance.
