Anonymous 4
Returning to the music of Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th-century German abbess and mystic, Anonymous 4 explores the theme of the Pentecostal power of the "Fiery Spirit". Hildegard's intensely emotional chants and visions (including the monumental hymn O ignee spiritus and some of her finest antiphons) are presented here framed by hymns and sequences that she and her convent sisters would have heard and sung every day.'This is the finest Hildegard recording ever made.' - Fanfare
01. HYMN: Veni creator spiritus 4:31
02. SEQUENCE: Veni spiritus eternorum alme 2:42

04. VISION 1 "The fire of creation": Et ego homo 1:45
05. VISION 1 "The fire of creation": Et audivi 3:11
06. SEQUENCE: O ignis spiritus paracliti 7:52
07. VISION 2 "Wisdom and her sisters": Vidi etiam 2:22
08. VISION 2 "Wisdom and her sisters": Prima autem 3:12
09. RESPONSORY: O felix anima 6:40
10. VISION 3 "The fiery spirit": Iterumque vocem 1:59
