Old lady von Bingen is one of the most interesting of many interesting personalities from the Middle Ages. She invented a language, alphabet, composed music, wrote mystical works -- what's not to like? Shamefully, this is the first time I've actually heard any of her music.
Image below's Blatt 466 of the Rupertsberger Riesenkodex, which contains a copy of O vis aeternitatis. The Riesenkodex anthologized all the works of Hildegard von Bingen 12th century style. 466-81 contain her musical compositions. I must needs read this.
