Mystery of Ancient Voices (Le Mystere Des Voix Anciennes) | | Reviews
Product Overview
This purely a capella French ensemble consists of Monique Avril, Rebecca Bain, Richard Costa, Annie Paris, Françoise Slacik, and Norbert Vidal. Their blending of male and female voices is reminiscent of recordings by Ensemble Venance Fortunat, directed by Anne-Marie Deschamps, whose transcriptions Mora Vocis uses for much of the polyphony on this recording. The material is focused around the central figure of early thirteenth-century polyphony, Perotin 'the Great', but also includes a variety of polyphonic genres as well as the chant melodies upon which Perotin and the other, anonymous composers built. This recording contains several surprising interpretations and beautiful performances.
