play by hildegard von bingen order of the virtues redirects here for the egyptian award see order of the virtues egypt page of the ordo virtutum from the wiesbaden codex 1180 1190 ordo virtutum latin for order of the virtues is an allegorical morality play or sacred music drama by hildegard of bingen composed around 1151 during the construction and relocation of her abbey at rupertsberg it is the earliest morality play by more than a century and the only medieval musical drama to survive with an attribution for both text and music a short version of ordo virtutum without music appears at the end of scivias hildegard s most famous account of her visions it is also included in some manuscripts of the symphonia armoniae celestium revelationum symphony of the harmony of celestial revelations a cycle of more than 70 liturgical songs it may have been performed by the convent nuns at the dedication of the st rupertsberg church in 1152 1 or possibly before the mass for the consecration of virgins at the convent 2 plot edit the subject of the play is typical for a morality play recounting neither biblical events nor a saint s life nor miracles 3 instead ordo virtutum is about the struggle for a human soul or anima between the virtues and the devil 4 the piece can be divided as follows 5 part i a prologue in which the virtues are introduced to the patriarchs and prophets who marvel at the virtues part ii we hear the complaints of souls that are imprisoned in bodies the for now happy soul enters and her voice contrasts with the unhappy souls the soul is too eager to skip life and go straight to heaven when the virtues tell her that she has to live first the devil seduces her away to worldly things part iii the virtues take turns identifying and describing themselves while the devil occasionally interrupts and expresses opposing views and insults this is the longest section by far and although devoid of drama or plot the musical elements of this section make it stand out part iv the soul returns repentant once the virtues have accepted her back they turn on the devil whom they bind together they conquer the devil and then god is praised part v a procession of all the characters roles edit the soul female voice the virtues sung by 17 solo female voices humility queen of the virtues hope chastity innocence contempt of the world celestial love discipline the name is scratched out in the manuscript modesty mercy victory discretion patience knowledge of god charity fear of god obedience and faith 6 these virtues were seen as role models for the women of the abbey who took joy in overcoming their weaknesses and defeating the devil in their own lives chorus of the prophets and patriarchs sung by a male chorus chorus of souls sung by a women s chorus the devil a male voice 7 the devil does not sing he only yells or grunts according to hildegard he cannot produce divine harmony 8 background edit the meaning and emphasis of the ordo virtutum in hildegard of bingen s community is affected by role assignments among the nuns 9 it has been suggested that the soul represents richardis von stade hildegard s fellow nun and friend who had left to become abbess of another convent hildegard was upset by this appointment and tried to have it revoked appealing even to pope eugene iii hildegard was unsuccessful and richardis departed only to die shortly thereafter on october 29 1151 other scholars propose an allusion to hildegard s brother bruno 10 before dying richardis told her brother that she wanted to return to hildegard not unlike the returning repentant soul of ordo virtutum 11 composition edit music was a part of daily life in the abbey since the nuns chanted psalms several times a day during the liturgy of the hours the performance of non liturgical music was more rare having to do with celebrations and special occasions in the life of the community however hildegard of bingen received no traditional education in composition nor was she trained to play instruments citation needed she was self taught although not in a way that many people would expect her whole life hildegard of bingen had been both clairvoyant and clairaudient the music came to her in visions she also attempted to describe what she was going through in works such as ordo virtutum 12 better source needed musical elements edit the ordo virtutum is written in dramatic verse and contains 82 different melodies which are set more syllabically than hildegard s liturgical songs all parts are sung in plainchant except that of the devil 13 there is an alternation between solo and chorus parts as well as melismatic versus syllabic lines 14 the main acts in the play are set in allegorical towers and the musical dimensions are driven by the architectural understanding for example the development of processional chants that link the action in one tower to that of the other 15 the final verses of the play move into a mystical mode and describe the crucifixion of christ asking the audience to bend their knees so that god may stretch out his hand to you genua vestra ad patrem vestrum flectite ut vobis manum suam porrigat pp 36 37 the final word porrigat stretch out is set to thirty nine notes making it the longest melisma in the play it is meant to illustrate the stretch of a divine hand toward humanity 16 hildegard of bingen believed that music had a powerful even medical effect on people music was a type of biblical meditation the manner in which this was practiced resembles in some manner the way buddhists meditate and other religious traditions use music the neurologist oliver sacks has researched hildegard s belief that music can bring a connection between the human brain s two hemispheres to heal and calm the body 17 editions edit pitra jean baptiste françois ed 1882 ordo virtutum analecta sanctæ hildegardis opera spicilegio solesmensi parata analecta sacra spicilegio solesmense in latin vol 8 paris a
