There is no shame in her feminine imagery for the Virgin Mary. There is beauty in sight, smell, taste and feel. This is Eve before the Fall. The womb is a holy place worthy of birthing the Son of God. The Devil cannot sing.
Evil is overcome by good through love.
The Devil's empty threats and half truths are answered by beautiful melodic phra-ses which do not lose their identity in anger or fear. Because of the boldness of vocal technique, the singer is forced to connect her passion to her music-making. One cannot listen to this music without feeling a sense of awe for Hildegard's creativity. But beyond this, one fathoms a soul totally devoted to her Creator, at peace with herself and her position in life. Kennzeichnend f r die Musik Hildegard von Bingens ist die v llige Klarheit und Reife ihres musikalischen Stils.
