Hildegard was an abbess who is still famous for dressing her nuns in nontraditional, less formal adornments.

“Underneath
all the texts, all the sacred psalms and canticles, these watery
varieties of sounds and silences, terrifying, mysterious, whirling and
sometimes gestating and gentle must somehow be felt in the pulse, ebb,
and flow of the music that sings in me. My new song must float like a
feather on the breath of God.” - See more at:
