The haunting resonance of medieval plainsong in modern London
In short: Experience a performance of Hildegard von Bingen's "O Ignis Spiritus," a piece of solo plainsong. This recording captures the atmospheric intersection of ancient sacred music and contemporary public scholarship.
Performed by Emily Van Evera, this piece is presented within the historic setting of St. Sepulchre Without Newgate in London. The performance is part of a broader tradition at Gresham College, which has provided free public lectures since 1597.
The institution maintains its commitment to accessible knowledge by offering over 1,900 lectures for free download, continuing a centuries-old mission of public education.
