Ordo Virtutum - Order of Powers by Hildegard von Bingen (circa 1151)

"With the ORDO VIRTUTUM (composed around 1151) Hildegard created Europe’s earliest mystery play to have come down to us in written form. One perceives Hildegard’s passion for creating and her talent for dramatic stagings when she allows the powers of virtue to appear as allegories and to sing: Hildegard’s musical vision of a divine order." This was a highlight performance by the renowned ensemble of Maria Jonas & Ars Choralis Coeln of Saint Hildegard’s unique Singspiel “Ordo Virtutum - Order of Powers” from the historic Pauluskirche in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. This video is available because of the filming that the Scivias Media Team did under the coordination of Director Michael M. Conti along with key team member Janucz Reichenbach, who generously provided his equipment and time for these efforts. Additional camera operators were Jacob Esser and Matthias Baden. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did in making them available to you.
