Description:

A Collection of Songs by Hadewijch, a 13th-Century Brabantese Female MysticA highly acclaimed album featuring the songs of Hadewijch, a 13th-century female mystic from Brabant. Based on melodies reconstructed through recent research from among the 45 surviving poems, this album brings this precious legacy of medieval Dutch literature and music history back to life for the modern era. Hedwigs poetry, which viewed Minne (courtly love) as a divine and creative force, depicts nature, spring, the movement of the stars, and human longings and sorrows with rich sensitivity, creating a world that is exceptionally original even within the context of medieval mystical thought. The early music vocal ensemble Vocame performs these works with delicate, meditative vocals accompanied by medieval instruments, inviting listeners into a profound world where the spirituality of love intersects with human emotion.PROSPE
