Ordo virtutum

Album by Hildegard von Bingen & Sequentia

Ordo Virtutum is a 12th-century liturgical drama and musical morality play by Hildegard von Bingen, composed around 1151. The work consists of monophonic plainsong for solo and ensemble voices with dramatic exchanges between allegorical characters, exemplifying medieval chant and Hildegard's distinctive melodic style, and it is one of the earliest surviving liturgical dramas in the Western repertory.
