Oh boy, that harp! Where has Henriette Renié been all my life? What a magnificent piece.

Gorgeous selections again. Thank you Michael.

I second this!! I’m mesmerized!! Thank you for shedding light on these amazing women. I thoroughly enjoyed Florence Price and Hildegard as well!

I *LOST* it when I heard Renié’s music for the first time! Legende is so evocative — I want someone to make a black and white stop-motion silent film of the story with this music as the soundtrack. She also wrote a fabulous harp concerto that I’m going to highlight in a future piece.

So glad you both enjoyed exploring these sections! 💙

Hildegard saved my life, because her music was the only thing that lulled me to sleep.

But she had a lot more accomplishments than her career as a composer.

Indeed, she’s the ultimate multi-hyphenate.
