"The idea [for Vision] was to record Hildegard von Bingen's music in its purest form and marry it to the imaginative concepts of the contemporary American composer Richard Souther, using contemporary pop and world-music sounds that reinvent the startling immediacy, the piercing beauty, and the sublime spirit of Hildegard's art"--Program notes. Compact disc. Program notes by David Foil and Tom Hoving with lyrics in Latin and English inserted. Richard Souther, synthesizer and arranger ; Emily Van Evera, Sister Germaine Fritz, OSB, vocalists.
