The Fascinating Life of Hildegard von Bingen | with THL Honor von Atzinger

[@marialuisathorn9114]

Beautiful voice! Thank you for this programme. Very interesting.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Thanks for listening

[@careyvinzant]

I have loved Hildegard for more than twenty-five years. Her insight, her wisdom, and her courage are a great inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing about this amazing figure.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Dani_Girl_437]

I am studying her for a German history course I am currently taking and this has significantly helped me connect many pieces of the work together, thankyou!!

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad it was helpful!

[@graceannwilson4884]

I really enjoyed this. My Masters is in music and I am a singer, pianist and organist. My second major was German language and literature. I’ve really been enjoying the classes I’ve seen.. Having done Civil War re-enacting at one point, part of my persona had to do with the use of herbs and other homemade remedies. My gr father was also a Cherokee shaman I learned about 20 years ago. We were a part of the Blue Band/ Panther Band of the Cherokee. He was well known for his healing ointments and other remedies. He was born in 1858 and I in 1949. I love learning about Hildegard as our interests seem to be very much the same. I also love art, with watercolor as my primary form of visual art.

[@graceannwilson4884]

I am looking forward to more of your presentations. I would like to write to you if perhaps you could share a mailing address.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad you enjoyed this!

[@manny75586]

Love St. Hildegard. I listen to her music almost daily. There is an 8+ hour video on KZbin with all her works in it.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Oh wow!

[@dabrupro]

Royal University of the Midrealm. Yes. Thank you. Great presentation. Much appreciated.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@juliaelaine4164]

I was actually assigned a reading on Hildegard for my Medieval Women Writers course and was confused on the reading so I popped over to KZbin and found this! The reading pretty much lined up with your lecture and helped me internalize what I was learning to fully understand! Thank you! I'm not really religious, though I did grow up Catholic and learning about this stuff at the age I'm at now is so fascinating. Hildegard was THE GIRL BOSS of her time.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad you enjoyed this class!

[@samsmith2635]

I just finished my Medieval Europe Final on Hildegard von Bingen,I cannot get enough and always delighted to learn something new. I never realized her Convent in Rupertsberg was only two train stops from where I live, unfortunately under the train tracks. -Thanks Prussia.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

How interesting!

[@michaelminer9133]

Thank You for Keeping her alive!

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

You're welcome!

[@erics7992]

I've read a few of Hildegard's letters in Latin and her Latin is pretty good. Her way of expressing herself is actually very beautiful. I enjoy them immensely

[@johnjoseph9929]

@erics7992 . Can you please write the names of those letters and where can I find them ??

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Yes, very beautiful!

[@kendalbrenneman]

Just have to say I love your energy and personality! Thanks for sharing about Hildegard. She seems like such an interesting person, I can't wait to learn more about her...

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

🙂

[@friendtazo]

Really AWESOME! Thank you.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

You're very welcome!

[@EnchantadoreaPlumaDelDragon]

I am so interested in her now. She is such an interesting person. I can't wait to learn more about her. Thanks so much for teaching this class.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

[@karenfreeman7833]

Oh! that singing was lovely. 🎶🎶🎶Your knowledge is much appreciated my darling. Thank you! 🙏🏽

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Thanks for listening! I will pass this along to the teacher.

[@ellencooper8991]

Thank you! Hoping to learn more about her music--you do such a great job presenting (and singing) her works!!

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad you enjoyed the class!

[@elyktello]

Wow you have such a beautiful voice and a presence that honestly makes me just smile!

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

How sweet! I will pass this along to the teacher.

[@Devotionalpoet]

Thank you for this 🙏🏻 I resonate with her so deeply ✨✨

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad you enjoyed the class!

[@theApeShow]

The contemporary reconstructions of her music I've heard from her brings tears to my eyes and I have no idea why. Looking up more about her. Why I'm here.

[@mortalclown3812]

I've often wondered if some kind of vibrational alchemy doesn't happen while listening to some of these pieces - and other chants/canticles. It's as if light crosses time, miles and even belief systems. Selah. :-)

[@earthgrazer5511]

Same, her music lured me here.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

[@theApeShow]

For me it was originally a version of - Dendermonde Codex: II. Antiphona O eterne Deus - if interested. Having on speakers across the house hit differently than a headset. I have found wall or ceiling sound preferable for this experiences. I imagine a live monastery reconstruction would be even more consuming.

[@sparxz2145]

Wonderful presentation. Pity the hand out was removed from Google drive.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Thank you. The teacher has been notified, requesting that the handout be added back to the Google drive.

[@robking5896]

This is so high quality please keep them coming I can't believe you don't have millions of subscribers. I love Saint Von bingans if I've said that correctly music and was so interested to learn all of these things. I'm going to look for an English translation of the morality place she wrote. Thank you again and God bless. I'm going to show my son this video so you can see that young people join religious orders.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad you enjoyed this video!

[@nanwuamitofo]

Very nice style and energy! Thanks.

[@tb6884]

I love that she was a consultant to the priests...like, she was that gifted. I had a vision of standing next to some royalty (?) inside very crude cave like dwelling. i felt as though I were a consultant of sorts to the king/queen/priest/priestess sitting next to me on the stage above the people of the city. They were looking to us...I don't know what this means but I know it does behoove the elites to consult those who have preternatural gifts. I mean, look how JP morgan chase consulted an astrologer before boarding his nemesis on the Titanic. She said don't board it, it will sink. That was Evangeline Adams. I'm sure another iteration of our gifted ancestors.

Your Title/pic for your video misspelled 'Hildegard' ( hidegard) ... You may want to correct!😊❤

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Oh my! Thank you for pointing that out.

[@mortalclown3812]

I wonder if Hildegard didn't mention Jutta because of her asceticism which was extremely harsh - on herself at least. This is only a guess. Both Hildegard and Julian of Norwich stressed the great love of God in times when harshness was in vogue. Thank you for a terrific video. Paz y luz

Great presentation. Can someone explain what thl honor means?

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Thank you! In the Society for Creative Creative Anachronism (SCA), THL is the abbreviated form of "The Honorable Lady" or "The Honorable Lord". This means that this person has been the recipient of a Grant level award within the SCA.

[@catherineherrmann3604]

Small corrections but crucial- her music is melismatic not neumatic. The notation system at that time was neumatic ( meaning symbols that not only represent pitches but vocal inflection and compound syllabic and melismatic movements); she did have her somewhat own idiomatic system which helps us understand her unique musical intentions. Also I believe the person whose burial she allowed was a suspected suicide, which makes her commitment to his being buried in sanctified ground all the more radical and imbued with her understanding of forgiveness and compassion. She may have described herself as uneducated, but that reflects her lack of “ formal” education. Clearly she was surrounded by literacy and scholarship at the monasteries; her extensive brilliant writings, poetry, letters, tracts and scientific texts show she can hardly be considered “ uneducated”.

Thank you so much for this video!!! She is so fascinating indeed! Did you study about her in college?

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alin8591]

Hello, dear Rebecca! Thank you for your beautiful insights on Hidegard`s life. I'm working on a project about her. Do you think ,that it would be possible, that I would receive the handout for this class ?! And also I am interested in your work on her music. Thanking you in advance for your understanding and your help !!!

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

There is a link to the handout in the video description. However, the teacher has been notified that the link is currently not working.

[@christinagiannaros9817]

You say she was walled in a small space but I'm curious about that, they must have had a garden to grow food and supplies to come as well?

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Your question has been sent to the teacher.

[@glenncbjones]

Rebecca, is it? Thank you so very sincerely! Your obvious enthusiasm for your subject and your so very gorgeous singing, and your absolutely infectious “joie de vie,” make me both laugh and weep profusely, two things that, if I don’t greatly enjoy each day, I tend to a sort of vague distemper unto depression… I’m Gnostic, and Hildegard of Bingen overlays my beliefs rather seamlessly, perhaps even “shamelessly”… That this amazing woman was able to challenge the undeniably paternalistic and misogynistic frenetic frat boys in Rome, and have her way in her day, totally rocks my plimsouls! Her music is obviously divinely inspired (I, at least, begin weeping within minutes!), and her lovely words excoriating the Papal pablum of the “F,S and HG” and their priapic pitilessness is astounding… I believe the true “Trinity,” is Jesus, the Blessed Nazarene, and Mary (the “Magdala,” not the “mother,” but the “companion” of Jesus… no “virgins” need apply!), and the Effulgent Holy Mother, “Sophia,” is a decidedly more “aligned with the Divine Feminine” crew than that “drag queen boys club” in Rome, and it speaks volumes… Mega-Namaste Rebecca, you are a balm unto my soul, and a lamp unto my feet! Surely goodness and mercy will follow us in hired livery’s which will wait outside upon our streets “until the girls say when” (ref. “Josie” / Steely Dan)… I just love you like great heavenly metaphors… “I’m in Heaven when you smile!” (Ref. “Jackie Wilson Said” / Van Morrison)… No one would even DARE to try to stop me from subscribing, even with one hand tied securely behind my back… - XOXOXO! Glenn Jones PS: “Gloria (‘in excelcis’), I think they’ve got your number, I think they’ve got the alias, that you’ve been livin’ under”… < > “Even now, If I see in my soul the citron-breasted fair one, Still gold tinted, her face like our night stars, Drawing unto her; her body beaten about with flame, Wounded by the flaring spear of love, My first of all by reason of her fresh years, Then is my heart buried alive in snow… …Even now, my eyes that hurry to see no more are painting, painting, Faces of my lost girl. O golden rings, That tap against cheeks of small magnolia leaves, O whitest so soft parchment where My poor divorced lips have written excellent Stanzas of kisses, and will write no more… … Even now, I know that I have savored the hot taste of life, Lifting green cups and gold at the great feast, Just for a small and forgotten time, I have had full in my eyes from off my girl, The whitest pouring of eternal light--“ from: “Black Marigolds” (translated from the Sanskrit by E. W. Powys)…

Did you also mention that she was an herbalist 😊

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

That's correct. She was an herbalist among her many talents.

[@mortalclown3812]

I'm fascinated with this teacher and your beautiful singing. May I ask if you're a nun? If so, it's the first time I've seen one with painted nails. :-) Thank you for this lesson on one of our greatest mystics.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Glad you enjoyed this video!

[@villagedesigninstitute4135]

Beautiful lessons to share with the world at this time. It's very inspiring to learn of a simple church woman of the 12th century having so much continuing influence. I imagine along with her piety, she had the personality of a fierce tigress!

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

[@prajnaseek]

I would love to meet you. There is something extraordinary about you, like Hildegard. And when you sang, it was almost too much ecstasy to bear. I do not exaggerate. You can find me on X if you want to. Bless you.

[@valeriy8502]

Fyi, before you make a video about Jutta von Sponheim, her name is pronounced Yut-tah. Very common in many languages, and definitely the Germanic ones, for the J to represent a Y sound. English is a bit unusual in that the J is a hard G sound but that is not the case in German.

[@charlesdaues9439]

You have a life ?

[@valeriy8502]

@@charlesdaues9439 Very much so. Pronouncing people's names is respectful, and not hard at all. Learning a second or third language is harder, but you will eventually have to learn how things are pronounced if you plan to speak these languages as I do. This is just one name. Because I speak and have studied Germanic languages, it's just automatic for me which is why I provide that example. I am just informing. No need to get offended at free additional information. I teach classes, and always check my facts before passing on info to a bunch of new people. So speaking from experience.

[@charlesdaues9439]

You were right. I just thought because of her youth cut her some slack. But I agree, hearing it repeatedly mispronounced is annoying.

[@valeriy8502]

@@charlesdaues9439 Again, just informing. I had to learn to do things effectively and pronounce clearly as a child much younger than her. Not harshly, people often take correction as harshness, it's really pretty neutral in my experience. It's how we learn, and being young is the best time to learn. I am not going to just ignore an error just because someone is young, much worse to go through life making mistakes that could be easily avoided. But also no need to be mean about it. It's just information.

[@royaluniversityofthemidrealm]

Thank you.

[@dkultraw6412]

Sounds like she was a kind of psyop, planted by her noble family in order to gain favor, power, and authority in ecclesiastical matters as well as politics. I would even go so far as to deduce that she received very specialized training in these fields for that very purpose. The fact that she received so much financial support also seems a bit sketchy to me. This enigmatic figure deserves so much more attention and analysis than she receives. Thank you for this wonderful lesson, and for blessing us with your voice.

[@essveekaye]

Ah Hildegarde.. pioneering botanist, biological genius, prolific poet, writer of the highest regard. Mystic woman with visions coming straight from god on spirituality, humanity. Cosmologist. Astrologer. Canonized Saint. Grew up in a walled off room in a church, illiterate yet accomplished all of this in a prolonged life at a time when women were non importante n mortality rates were ridiculous. She sounds like old Le Compte St Germaine. A lil bit too unreal to be real. Really.

You expect us to take you seriously when you wear a wrinkly head covering while "lecturing". How pretentious and preposterous! Have some respect.

[@fiveminutefridays]

this was specifically an event for a medieval reenactment society, where in person events are all done in medieval clothing, and they encouraged the same for online events during the pandemic. As for the wrinkles, well, i've never been one for ironing in the first place lol, but keeping up with ironing sounds like a drag in the best of times, let alone during a pandemic. I think you're more disrespectful to comment on clothing when she's prepared a wonderful informative session.
