Some great stuff on Hildegard of Bingen:

Jimmy Akin is one of the Nat. Catholic Register's most knowledgeable columnists. There's a lot of links to Hildegard stuff in the combox comments.

Official trailer of VISION, a German movie about Hildegard. The trailer is kind of melodramatic/gonzo/cinematic (eh, it's a trailer, what do you expect?) --- but it does give emphasis to the mystical-prophetic aspect of her vocation

Hildegard's wonderful musical compositions:

O dulcis Divinitas

Caritas Habundat

A few images of her many visions.

Enjoy!

Thank you for the research and links. Beautiful music! Do you know if she is responsible for composing both the music and lyrics?
