Jocelyn West was previously named Jocelyn Montgomery. She is one of the founding members of the wondrous band Miranda Sex Garden.

West's song on this album is wonderful. It floats, it builds, it takes great care of Hildegard von Bingen's work and legacy. David Lynch's work is also evident, making the voice float and carry through. That said, I'm not sure how much work Lynch did on the album.

From Lynchnet:

In 1998, David Lynch completed work on a new album by Jocelyn Montgomery, the Scottish fiddle player seen in Pretty as a Picture. The album is based on 12th century verses by Hildegard von Bingen. The album was released in the US on August 25, 1998.

Jocelyn Montgomery: The experiences I've had singing Hildegard and performing it, is that it's always been a very natural and instinctive thing. I've always deeply identified with it. It's the most beautiful music I've ever come across ... ever sung.
