"Combining the deep voice of Hildegard von Bingen and the inner song of John Cage (or vice versa)—what a wonderful idea, isn't it? And it's Irene Kurka herself who seems to have come up with it. She performs Hildegard nine times and gives her version of Sonnekus² (in nine parts, which Satie's Je te veux inspired Cage to use). She blends, finally, the eighteen pieces already sung. She merges attachment to faith and detachment from all things, Latin and the elevation it encourages with hurried English and its headlong flight, the meaning of words and the meaninglessness of their expression, etc."
