Hildegrad of Bingen, or also known as Saint Hildegard, and Sibyl of the Rhine, was a Christian mystic, German abbess, visionary, and polymath. Elected a magistra by her fellow nuns in 1136, she founded the monasteries of Rupertsburg in 1150 and Eibingen in 1165. One of her works as a composer, the Ordo Virtum, is an early example of Liturgical drama. Bendictine.
Michael Praetorius was a German composer, organist, and writer about music. He was one of the most versatile composers of his age, being particularly significant in the development of musical forms based on Protestant hymns.
The 1st piece of music with the single voice of a lady singing is older than the piece where there are multiple instruments playing. It only has 1 person singing which was common during that time and what is unique is its a women's voice. Its a very soft and relaxing piece to listen to.
The second piece on the other is hand is much ore complex. It has multiple instruments playing in it, it has a very fluid side to it, and is very joyful to listen to it. Its much more faster than the 1 st piece with the lady dinging all alone.
