Since her death in 1179, Hildegard of Bingen has commanded
attention in every century. In this book Jennifer Bain traces the
historical reception of Hildegard, focusing particularly on the
moment in the modern era when she began to be considered as a
composer. Bain examines how the activities of clergy in
nineteenth-century Eibingen resulted in increased veneration of
Hildegard, an authentication of her relics, and a rediscovery of
her music. The book goes on to situate the emergence of Hildegard's
music both within the French chant restoration movement driven by
Solesmes and the German chant revival supported by Cecilianism, the
German movement to reform Church music more generally. Engaging
with the complex political and religious environment in German
speaking areas, Bain places the more recent Anglophone revival of
Hildegard's music in a broader historical perspective and reveals
the important intersections amongst local devotion, popular
culture, and intellectual activities.
