One of the very few female composers of the Middle Ages whose work has survived, Hildegard was neglected for centuries until her liturgical song cycle was rediscovered. Songs from it are now being performed regularly by early music groups, and more than twenty compact discs have been recorded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52670834737432,"sku":"9780801485473","price":16.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/symphonia-a-critical-edition-of-the-symphonia-armonie-celestium-revelationum-symphony-of-the-harmony-of-celestial-revelations-paperback-softback-9780801485473","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
