Bill, I have seen a video on Hildegard. Can't recall the name; may have come from Ignatius Press. To give you some idea of its historicity: as I recall it began with some white robbed inquisitors hanging Richardis von Stade by her feet from a tree in the forest. Hildegard then nursed Richardis back to sanity and so forth. In other words, it was to history what a can of frozen orange juice is to a citrus orchard. On the other hand, the people I was with thought it entertaining. I was left wondering why the producers mixed things up so much, when Hildegard's real story is so interesting in itself. There was considerable singing in the video; it was rendered without complications. Hugh Feiss, OSB Ascension Priory [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
