A Worcester Ladymass

Reseña del editor The first new Trio Mediaeval album in four years and the first since STELLA MARIS to feature medieval music: A WORCESTER LADYMASS is eagerly awaited. The album presents a reconstruction of a 13th century votive Mass to the Virgin Mary, based on manuscripts and fragments originating in a Benedictine Abbey in the English Midlands. Inserted amid the medieval music are a Credo and Benedicamus Domino specially written for this program by Gavin Byars, one of the several leading contemporary composers who has championed the Trio since the beginning of it's history. The old and the new, literally and conceptually, intermingle in the work of this vocal ensemble. Críticas "The three female voices combine to produce a sound of extraordinary and consoling beauty. The singers also operate on a high level of musicianship and technical sophistication..." -- The Boston Globe Artista biografía Founded in 1997, Trio Mediaeval developed its unique repertory during intense periods of work at the Hilliard Summer Festivals in England and Germany between 1998 and 2000, and subsequently with Linda Hirst and John Potter. "Singing doesn't get more unnervingly beautiful," wrote Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle, who declared their San Francisco debut "among the musical highlights of the year." He added, "To hear the group's note-perfect counterpoint is to be astonished at what the human voice is capable of." "These three women have astonishingly beautiful voices," Robert Levine wrote in American journal Stereophile, "with individual timbres that nonetheless mingle seamlessly... Trio Mediaeval sings with feeling, depth, and -- dare I say it? -- soul". Such sentiments were echoed also throughout Europe. "A most impressive new group," said Britain's Early Music Review: "Their clear and unforced voices, with superb control of intonation and blend of tone, combine with an obvious musical intelligence, as evidenced by their ability to shape a musical line and give structure to a piece. Others have tried to reinterpret the medieval repertoire for soprano voices, but none as successfully as this young group." The trio's albums on ECM Records have featured performances of a diverse repertoire. Words of the Angel, recorded in 1999, included the Messe de Tournai, 14th century polyphony, and Ivan Moody's title piece. Soir, dit-elle (recorded 2003) included Leonel Power's Missa Alma Redemptoris Mater alongside works by Gavin Bryars, Andrew Smith and Ivan Moody. The trio's third album, Stella Maris (2005) featured 12th and 13th-century music from England and France as well as the world premiere recording of "Missa Lumen de Lumine" by Korean composer Sungji Hong. Folk Songs (2007), was an intimate collection of Norwegian folk songs with traditional percussion played by Birger Mistereggen. The album received a Grammy nomination in the Best Chamber Music Performance category.
