Music from the Time of the Crusades
Medieval writers believed that the name Jerusalem meant "vision of peace" and devotion to this holy city found its keenest expression in the Crusades that took place in the 12th and 13th Centuries. In a programme that includes specially recorded music, Gothic Voices explore the rich repertoire of Medieval music from this time, including plainchant and polyphony from Europe and Hildegard of Bingen's setting of a Respond for the Feast of Martyrs, Vos Flores Rosarum.
