Kassia (1 Jan 805 Jahr – 1 Jan 865 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

She Was Byzantine. Born to a wealthy family, Kassia was granted a superb education and upbringing. Her status as a nun also gave her access to the highest level of music education available to women at the time. Kassia was deeply religious yet acutely aware of the secular world around her. She held empathetic views towards those individuals not involved in the church, often sympathizing with their shortcomings and failures. Most of her pieces manifest her dedication to the church, ending with a prayer for worshipers and an appeal to Christ in hopes that her audience can remember that God’s love is available to everyone.
