Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Cologne-based ensemble, directed by Benjamin Bagby and Barbara Thornton, performs twenty motets and chansons by Philippe de Vitry, the composer credited with defining the Ars Nova. Sequentia, founded in 1977, built its reputation on complete surveys of medieval repertory, and this recording documents the polyphonic motet at its fourteenth-century height.
