Description: Further DetailsTitle: Codex Las Huelgas: Music from 13th Century SpainCondition: NewDescription: EDITORIAL REVIEWS [Note: This product is an authorized CD-R and is manufactured on demand] AMAZON Just how engaging, catchy, lively, and artful can 13th century Spanish music be? Very, as evidenced by this collection of motets, conductus, mass movements, and strophic songs from the legendary manuscript compiled at the 12th-century Cistercian convent at Las Huelgas. This remarkable program, highlighting only a handful of the nearly 200 works contained in the original manuscript, shows not only the beauty and inventiveness of sacred music of this period, but also how colorful and varied it could be. And just how well sung and played is it? Impressively, as shown by these five exceptional female voices and period instrumentalists from the superb Huelgas Ensemble. Instruments--recorders, fiddles, rebec, and percussion--are sparingly and effectively used, and the singers treat us to exciting yet rarely heard ornamentation, an ancient art that sounds eerily modern. --David VernierFormat: CDGenre: ClassicalArtist: Huelgas EnsembleNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: SonyEAN: 0074645334127 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
