Comments: This recording blends together the two most famous sources of medieval music thought to have been sung by and produced for women: the works of Hildegard von Bingen for her abbey and the manuscript made at and for the Cistercian abbey of Las Huelgas in Burgos, Spain. While all of Hildegard's chants are for one voice, the Las Huelgas pieces performed here include a mixture of monophonic and polyphonic works.
