Description:

Cathedrals by Vocame, released 7 June 2018. This version of Cathedrals comes as a 1xCD. -

Spreading throughout Europe from the 12th century onwards, the vast Gothic church spaces, like wonders of stone suffused with light, inspired the Ensemble VocaMe to produce this album. Four female singers with an enchanting fusion in unison and large spectra in polyphonic singing, along with the tonal colors of multi-instrumentalist Michael Popp, represent the musical extension and interpretation of the church space. The program consists of sacred music that evolved up to the Gothic period. At it's center is the Tournai Fair held in the 14th century. It is regarded as the earliest testimony of a mass, which was entirely set to music, as evidenced by medieval manuscripts. During the Gothic period, Paris was one of the most important cultural centers from whence the new Gothic spirit spread throughout Europe. The intellectual elite of this period gathered around it's large cathedral and many new compositions of the 13th century emanated from this environment, the so-called "Notre Dame School". The compositions, like the Tournai Mass, are part of a high culture of music - music that could probably only be heard in the great cathedrals. VocaMe combines this with more folk-like or modest melodies from the Codex Calixtinus (book of Saint James) and the Las Huelgas Codex, among others. Thus, a Gothic soundscape emerges, ranging from simple monophony to the splendor of medieval polyphony.

"Cathedrals ? Vocal Music from the Age of the Great Cathedrals" is a captivating CD by VocaMe, released under the renowned Christophorus label. This album transports listeners to the spiritual and architectural heights of medieval Europe through masterfully interpreted vocal works that echo within grand cathedral spaces. The repertoire features sacred music from composers such as Hildegard von Bingen and other luminaries of early polyphony, performed with clarity and reverence by VocaMe?s exceptional ensemble. VocaMe has established itself as one of Europe?s leading vocal groups specializing in early music, acclaimed for their expressive interpretations and scholarly approach; previous albums like "Hildegard von Bingen: Celestial Hierarchy" have garnered international praise. Christophorus, founded in 1934, is celebrated for its dedication to high-quality recordings of historical and classical music?making it a trusted name among connoisseurs seeking authentic musical experiences.
