Hey all, here is the latest in my transcription project for Hildegard's works. As a Benedictine, Hildegard was steeped in Gregorian chant daily, and her compositions are heavily influenced by it. So, although she uses a wider range which often requires clef changes (which are fortunately absent in this piece), they are much more intuitive to read and sing in chant notation. Enjoy! (Apologies that the bottom half of the respond daggers were cut off; it was a computer glitch on my end that I'm still figuring out how to correct; they do appear intact in the original engraving that Andrew sent me.)
Also, I'll just put this out there: I'm seeking an expert medieval Latinist who might be interested in making some better translations of her Symphonia compositions. The best translations (by Barbara Newman) are under copyright, and while the free ones hit the mark frequently enough, sometimes they leave a lot to be desired.
do you know Christopher Owens? (He's on Facebook certainly) He's associated with the Veterum Sapientiae Institute and would be one of my recommendations, even if he's not able to do it himself.
