Be the first to review this product

The Rose Ensemble's third recording features music from medieval and Renaissance Poland and Czechoslovakia, including motets from the Prague manuscript Codex Specialnik and several lovely spiritual songs extolling the virtues of various Slavic saints and heroes. (46.38 2001)

About the Group:
Founded in 1996 by Artistic Director Jordan Sramek, The Rose Ensemble has built a diverse and enthusiastic contemporary audience for ancient music and legends. Every Rose Ensemble concert is an imaginative performance of music from before 1750, scrupulously researched and beautifully presented with what the Miami Sun-Sentinel called "buoyant agility." Singing a cappella or accompanied by guest artists on instruments seldom heard on today's stages, the Ensemble's singers cast a rich and harmonious spell, their music intertwined with the stories of heroes and heroines of old. The Ensemble focuses primarily on Medieval and Renaissance vocal music - including some never before performed in North America - while also commissioning Minnesota composers to write new works that complement the old and remind audiences of the timeless human spirit that resonates across centuries.
