Description

What is the language of heaven? What is the song of the angels? Medieval theologians and singers thought they might know. Beginning in the 11th century, wordless song was seen as a way to approximate the language of paradise, incomprehensible on earth but understood by God. Recent research has shown how medieval singers interpolated such singing into their daily devotions, expressing the joys of the divine in language both earthly and heavenly.
