204 leigh-choate, flynn, and fassler Example 2. Responsory O viriditas digiti Dei from Dendermonde, fol. 162r–v. Set in mode three (E deuterus), with a range from C to g, the unconventional responsory neither begins nor ends on E but instead on the fĳifth, h (or b). Many medial phrases, too, begin and/or end on the note h (b), giving the chant a pervasively unsettled character. Perhaps Hildegard intended this to illustrate Disibod’s (and the worshipers’) earthly exile from God and the continuing work of preparation, or waiting, for the Lord.
hildegard as musical hagiographer 205 It is the saint’s preparatory work that is celebrated in the repetendum: Tu gloriosa in preparatione Dei.23 Hildegard set the repetendum as a joyous melody with an extensive melisma of over 50 notes on the penultimate syllable “o” of preparatione. Three times as long as the chant’s opening melisma, the preparatione melisma emphasizes the chant’s highest note (g) through repetition of the note itself and the melisma’s entire opening arc (the rise to g and subsequent descent to G, bracketed in Example 2 as A). This internal repetition not only highlights the word preparatione but also echoes the earlier word plantationem, whose penultimate syllable “o” descended in a like manner from e to G, after peaking on g (indicated in Example 2 as A’). As the repetendum would have been chanted at least twice, its repetitive preparatione melisma would have been the most memorable part of the performance. Hildegard clearly wanted to emphasize the preparatory work of St Disibod. Like every good confessor, Disibod would have prepared for the Lord’s coming with “loins girt and lamps burning” (Lk. 12:35–6).24 These verses from Luke may have opened the Gospel reading for Disibod’s feast at the Disibodenberg and Rupertsberg (as indicated in Engelberg 103, fol. 71r), and related chants were likely sung as well (as in the Common of Confessors in Engelberg 103, fol. 162r).25 But Hildegard’s line also brings to mind the preparatory themes in Isaiah 40:3 (“prepare ye the way of the Lord”) and in Ephesians 6:15 (“and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace”).26 Like the wilderness prophet and precursor of Christ, John the Baptist, and like the Christian who has “put on the armor of God,” Disibod strengthened himself and his followers to stand fĳirm—like 23 “You [are] glorious in the preparation of God.” In its epistolary context, the text includes the “are” (es), while in its notated context as liturgical chant, it does not. 24 Biblia Sacra Vulgata: “sint lumbi vestri praecincti et lucernae ardentes et vos similes hominibus expectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis ut cum venerit et pulsaverit confestim aperiant ei beati servi illi quos cum venerit dominus invenerit vigilantes.” Douay-Rheims translation, The Holy Bible (American Edition, 1899): “Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands. And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.” 25 E.g., the canticle antiphon: “Beatus ille seruus cum uenerit dominus eius et pulsauerit ianuam et inuenerit eum uigilantem.” And the responsory for major feasts: “Sint lumbi uestri precincti et lucerne ardentes in manibus uestris et uos similes hominibus expectantibus dominum suum quando reuertatur a nuptiis. (Verse) Uigilate ergo quia nescitis qua hora dominus uester uenturus sit.” 26 Is. 40:3, “parate viam Domini”; Eph. 6:15, “et calciati pedes in praeparatione evangelii pacis,” Vulgate.
