More about the book

The book explores the establishment of classical Neoplatonic hierarchies in Hildegard von Bingen's twelfth-century music-drama, Ordo Virtutum. It delves into how these hierarchies are both mediated and subverted through concentric absorptions integral to the work's musical structure and text. Gardiner's analysis reveals the complex interplay between philosophical concepts and artistic expression in this significant historical piece.
