Once again, this women's quartet has produced an early music gem of remarkable clarity and purity. These 21 selections are taken from music written for St. James from the Codex Calixtinus. They are predominantly chant and two-part polyphony, sung with the calm, bell-tone blending quality that has won Anonymous 4 millions of fans. Their blend is especially impressive when, as on "Benedicamus trope: Ad superni regis decus," their voices flutter between duet and unison every eighth note, like a bird gracefully flapping its wings. Yet for all their blending, the quartet manages to infuse these ancient melodies with palpable emotion - this is not background music. For simple beauty, it doesn't get any better than this. (71:20 1995)
