I was singing in a Lucia procession yesterday actually (we did it yesterday at work since Lucia is on a Saturday this year). It was great fun.

Especially since 80% of the people in the procession were not speaking Swedish (normally you don't sing in Latin like they do here).

Nice.
Has anyone else heard of Hildegard of Bingen (1098 – 17 September 1179)? She composed some really beautiful song.

Griatch - I've learned the pepparkakeland song in Swedish

Wallace - I used to have some Hildegard von Bingen music. She wrote some really beautiful stuff.

Thanks Wallace!
Very very nice music, like a chorus angelicus.
I knew Hildegard, but not at all her music.

I accidently discovered Hildegard von Bingen a few years ago.
There's a collection of Her songs called "The Origin Of Fire", which I truly enjoy listening to occasionally. I strongly recommend checking out this collection of songs.
