CARITAS ABUNDAT This video begins with the original version of the music just as it was written in the 12th century (in Latin) by the German mystic and visionary, Hildegard von Bingen. Songs of this sort were meant to be sung in churches and cathedrals, where powerful echos and reverberations supply a kind of harmony. The effect here was supplied by a Lexicon MPX1. The harp is a reproduction of the famous brass-strung "Brian Boru" harp from the late medieval period, made by Maine harpmaker, Jay Witcher, in the 1970's. The theremin I used is a Moog Music Etherwave Pro. One more thing, the tunic that I am wearing in the beginning of this video is not a costume. It is a rare piece of genuine clothing surviving from the medieval period, sewn with silver and gold threads around the collar and cuffs, and intended to be worn by a knight.
