Inspired by Hildegard von Bingen | Caritas Abundat in Omnia - Love Aboundeth In All Things

Music: Damijan Močnik Lyrics: Hildegard of Bingen Caritas Abundat in Omnia (Love Aboundeth In All Things) Awarded Slovenian composer Damijan Močnik composed this song on Hildegard of Bingen theme. He wrote: "Joyful, danceable melodic loops grow into a unified whole, while the music is designed in surprisingly rich-sounding consonances. Thus, with a new sound, I established a dialogue with the past. The sounds of medieval musical instruments add to the excitement of the audiofrescoes that spread out before us. Art and music help us get in touch with the transcendent."

She is one of the best-known composers of sacred monophony, as well as the most recorded in modern history. She has been considered by scholars to be the founder of scientific natural history in Germany.Hildegard's convent elected her as Magistra (mother superior) in 1136. She founded the monasteries of Rupertsberg in 1150 and Eibingen in 1165. Hildegard wrote theological, botanical, and medicinal works, as well as letters, hymns, and antiphons for the liturgy. She wrote poems and supervised miniature illuminations in the Rupertsberg manuscript of her first work, Scivias. There are more surviving chants by Hildegard than by any other composer from the entire Middle Ages, and she is one of the few known composers to have written both the music and the words. One of her works, the Ordo Virtutum, is an early example of liturgical drama and arguably the oldest surviving morality play. She is noted for the invention of a constructed language known as Lingua Ignota.
