Description
The five chants Hildegard offers to the Holy Spirit are cast in three liturgical genres; two short psalm antiphons, one brief votive antiphon, one 13-verse hymn, all for Divine Office, and one sequence of five couplets for Mass. The Holy Spirit emerges variously as life giver, healer, divine love, as companion to the virtuous, fighter of temptation and sin, and as world soul inspiring peace, bringing together micro and macrocosm in one harmonious universe. All five chants are appropriate to the liturgy of Pentecost.
