Hildegard von Bingen and Michael Praetorius

Hildegard von Bingen and Michael Praetorius are both beautiful songs, but very much different. Hildegard von Bingen is all singing and has no instruments, unlike Michael Praetorius' song that is all instruments. Hildegard was one of the few women of her time to write music. She lived from (1098-1179). Michael Praetorius lived from (1571 - 1621). He was a German composer, organist, and music writer.

I think that it is amazing how she can play music without hearing it. I think that the way that she plays is really cool, how she feels the vibrations with her feet. I also think that she is very intelligent for being deaf since she was 12. My reaction to her talk on listening was pretty amazing. I also think  it was pretty cool how she changed  the rule to the school that she wanted to go to, how now they can now  let anyone with a problem not be able to enter the school.
