It musically bridges Western Christian mysticism and Sufism (Islamic mysticism), which developed in the Middle East during the same era, It highlights the striking similarities and strong affinity between the expressive freedom and wide range of Hildegard’s monophonic chants and the maqam modes and taksim improvisations of Middle Eastern music. The mystical melodies preserved in the Dendermonde manuscript are accompanied not by medieval Western instruments, but by improvisations on Middle Eastern instruments—such as the ney (reed flute), bendir (frame drum), oud—instruments symbolic of Sufi music—rather than Western medieval instruments, bringing to light the profound spirituality shared by both traditions: “the path to God through music.” Please experience the deeply hypnotic and ecstatic mystical soundscape woven from monophonic melodies and improvisation that resonate across time and space.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53255625507105,"sku":"4589538833916","price":518.0,"currency_code":"MXN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538833916.jpg?v=1786765408","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-mx\/products\/4589538833916","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
