Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) was one of the foremost herbal authorities of her day.
For Hildegard, this remedy was not just a little formula for deafness, but a major focus of intent because Hildegard was, in addition, to her herbal erudition an accomplished musician, not just a composer, but a visionary who understood the profound relationship of hearing to health.
Hildegard regarded galangal mainly as a potent aid to digestion and quick reliever of pain, such as the pain associated with angina pectoris, heart attacks, and gall bladder symptoms.

An opera on the life of St Hildegard, Hildegard von Bingen, was completed in June 1997; several spin-off pieces were also completed during the period of the opera's composition.
The opera's basis is a series of texts by Hildegard and others, woven with linking material to form a picture of Hildegard and her contemporaries, not as immortalised and sanctified figures but as deeply human figures whose situations and emotions reflect universal human concern, - love, loss, the fear of death, transcendence and redemption.

St. Hildegard of Bingen was born in Böckelheim, Germany, in 1098 and died in St. Rupertsberg near Bingen in 1179.[1] Although she was a medieval woman, she had all the intellectual and artistic qualities commonly attributed to “a Renaissance man.” She was well educated and traveled widely.
Though the monumental thought of St. Hildegard was, not long after her lifetime, eclipsed by the “Aristotelian revolution” at Paris, the time seems ripe for rediscovery and development.
