Shall We Gather: Sacred Song from Medieval England to Early America
A program to satisfy all of Anonymous 4’s fans: the first half is a compact medieval Ladymass, with British chant and polyphony from their bestselling Ladymass cds; the second half is a collection of Anglo-American sacred and secular songs from their hit cds American Angels and Gloryland.
Secret voices: The Sisters of Las Huelgas
This varied repertoire of 13th-century polyphony and sacred Latin song in the Spanish Las Huelgas Codex was collected for a convent of noble and aristocratic women. In spite of a rule forbidding the singing of polyphony by the women of their order, these sophisticated ladies sang the most beautiful, advanced, and demanding music from all over Europe in the 13th century.
