The album is one of a series of recordings of the complete musical works of Hildegard by the early medieval music specialists and founders of Sequentia, the late [[Barbara Thornton]] and her husband [[Benjamin Bagby]].
 
It was recorded between 16 and 21 June 1993 in the church of [[St. Pantaleon's Church, Cologne|St. Pantaleon, Cologne]], [[Germany]], "at the sarcophagus of the Empress [[Theophanu]]" (d. 990991)".<ref>''Canticles of Ecstasy'' CD booklet, pp. 3–4.</ref>
