Today I discovered in our university library computer labs scanners attached to Adobe Photoshop 7. It's making handouts for my class an easy, feasible reality.
So, in case you're wondering what Hildegard von Bingen's music looked like, I present to you "O virtus sapientie".

Comments
Hildegard's music is pretty. She fits in the medieval period right. Perhaps I could write about the artistry of Hildegard's music. I don't have any of her music, visual or audio. I remember Jess had a couple CDs of her music. Beautiful stuff, great for studying or taking naps. Good luck with your class!

What a fabulous thing to post. I still can't read neumes... can you? You would dazzle me if you could. =)

oh sure I can! No problem!! (are you dazzled?) Actually I can't really. If I have a chart and stuff and I can sketch out an idea (like I did for that ave regina celorum chant from the seminar a year ago), but I can't just read neumes like I can mensural notation. :P
