Ensemble Peregrina: Mel et lac - Twelfth-Century Songs for the Virgin (CD)

Be the first to review this product

The twelfth century in Europe witnessed a burgeoning spiritual interest in the Virgin Mary. This, in turn, inspired medieval writers, artists and musicians to seek ever more lavish and ingenious ways of depicting Her unique qualities. Mel et lac presents a selection of medieval Marian songs, both monophonic and polyphonic, from a time of compositional experimentation and novelty. Mel et lac is the première recording of Ensemble Peregrina, a new group of female voices devoted to the exploration of musical repertories from Europe in the 12th to 14th centuries.
