Cosmic Egg Salad: An Ode to Hildegard von Bingen
By Ralphadalphia on May 10, 2026 6:23 pm
I recently came across a book I read for undergraduate philosophy studies, and I recalled a passage that I'm sure Monty Python was aware of. Hildegard von Bingen was a mystic philosopher with the Catholic church, and she is known for her visions and verses. One of the visions is that of a Cosmic Egg. Naturally I had to revisit the passage and sample a couple of my favorite bits.
I chopped up one of her canticles, which is unironically one of my favorite vocal pieces, "Ave Maria, O Auctrix Vite." This canticle inspired an orchestral piece I performed in college which was one of my favorites of the repertoire, "Rainbow Body" by Theofanidis.
All of this is done on the P-6.
Enjoy this Cosmic Egg Salad.
