Question Early Classical ? - 02-06-2008, 02:37 AM

Can anybody make any recommends on Renaissance music or
Gregorian Chants (not those monks who do pop music in Gregorian form..ecch)..

I love the early lute music performed by Jacob Lindberg on Bis for
example.

Nightfly, check out 'Anonymous 4' - they do some superb unaccompanied medieval and Renaissance vocal work. Their most recent CD's of early American folk and Gospel are pretty good too

My favorite Gregorian chanters are the brothers of Valaam monastery (in Russia, I believe). They have a harmonic style in some of their hymns that's different from anything else I've heard. It relies on open fifths (hope that's the right term), and their pitch is sometimes so perfect, I swear I can hear an amazing overtone almost consistently throughout the chant. They also use a recording technique that sounds like the microphones are placed very close to the singers, and it creates a feeling of "being there" unlike other popular chant recordings I've heard. It's truly different and special.

Their music can be hard to find, but I've had success searching for "Valaam" on some rutunes sites. Fortunately, I've also been pleasantly surprised by how many hits I get on that term in some of the new mp3 search engines out there.

Good luck!

Bob

Welcome,

Yes Thanks I am a member of eMusic and this looks to be perfect..I think I'll
check out the first part of the box set first because 33 credits will eat up most
of my 50 credits (used to be 90)..I only stay with them to get items like these
and world and old blues and jazz.
