Hildegard of Bingen was an undoubted visionary. She had transcendental experiences throughout her life, and these experiences informed her worship and her sense of the world. In the medieval environment, it was seen as possible to have a direct link with the angels and the holy spirit; and it is this sense of wonder that The Sacred Fire seeks to explore.

In the last decade there have been many recordings of the music of Hildegard, ranging from the historically informed works of ensembles such as Sequentia, to a number of adventurous fusion recordings that have sought to combine this wonderful music with all sorts of modern sounds. The Sacred Fire is both of these. It is faithful in a historical sense, but is also musically adventurous. This is not the flippant adventure of those who combine a keyboard or hastily composed chord scheme with the original music, but the result of an exacting realisation process.

A meeting of members of the original ABC commission (Kim Cunio, Heather Lee, Tunji Beier, Rebbecca Frith), with members of the Queensland Conservatorium, Vanessa Tomlinson, Nicholas Ng and Jan Baker Finch. Each member has a varied and wonderful international career.

Guest artists for this event included Bettina Crimmins (oboe), Oscar Garrido (bassoon), Ben Marks (trombone), Ysolt Clarke (horn), Ba Da Boom Percussion and the Queensland Conservatorium Trombone Ensemble.

One piece is excerpted here - Globokar's 1997 solo percussion work, Pensée écartelée. “Performing Globokar's work brilliantly was percussionist Vanessa Tomlinson, who in Pensée écartelée presented a performance that would have made Animal from the Muppet Show proud.” – Die Presse, Vienna.

Bill was a visiting scholar with Griffith University from June–August 2007 on a Fulbright Senior Specialist grant awarded for iOrpheus.

The project was based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and written for and with the Brisbane South Bank precinct. The performance was a 2.5 hour event, enacted as a series of encounters with the central moments of the Orpheus legend appearing and reappearing in various unexpected locales within the parklands. This public opera created guided moments where park visitors—using their everyday digital devices—could interact artistically with parallel worlds as they move through the events of their daily lives. The performers numbered in the hundreds and consisted of Conservatorium students, staff and citizens of Brisbane (children and adults).
