Question
Three actors portray this composer’s “Eye,” “Hand,” and “Mouth” in Grace McLean’s musical In the Green. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this medieval composer of “O viridissima virga” who translated visions into the first known morality play Ordo Virtutum.
ANSWER: Hildegard von Bingen [or St. Hildegard; or Hildegardis Bingensis; reject “Bingen”]
[10e] Hildegard’s music is written in this manner because she never learned to play an instrument. This Italian term refers to music without instrumental accompaniment and names a kind of vocal group exemplified by Pentatonix.
ANSWER: a cappella [or acapella]
[10m] McLean used this technique to repeat vocal parts for In the Green. Minimalist composers may use this technique to “phase” recordings by connecting two ends of a magnetic tape.
ANSWER: looping [prompt on descriptions like recording and replaying parts or repeating parts]
