Historical Context
This new musical sensibility aimed to be more accessible to common people, who often lacked literacy to read or interpret scriptures, unlike the established Gregorian tradition.
Recording & Production
The manuscript for the Vespers of St. Victor was microfilmed before it was stolen in the late 20th century, allowing for its transcription and performance on this album.
Historical Context
The cult of martyrs provided dramatic life stories that served not only religious and spiritual functions but also social and cultural ones.
Composition History
The Vespers of St. Victor, presented on this CD as a modern-era premiere, are found in the Antiphonaries of St. Mark's Basilica (VAM), compiled between the 13th and 14th centuries.
Interpretation
This recording includes additional monodic and polyphonic pieces from English, Spanish, and German sources, dating from the 8th to 15th centuries, to complement the narrative of the legend.
Historical Context
From the 13th century onwards, new musical forms emerged in the West as the cult of saints expanded, driven by a need for tangible figures of faith.
Performer Biography
The InUnum ensemble, formed in 2003, specializes in medieval repertoire, particularly sacred polyphonic music from the 12th to 15th centuries.
