The choir's interpretation, based on Dom Eugène Cardine's teachings, means there is no separation between the music, rhythm, and texts; they perfectly coexist, supporting and stimulating each other.
Interpretation
Dom Eugène Cardine, whose teachings guide this recording, stated that 'semiology is not a method,' but rather a constitutive part of singing that completes the understanding needed for proper performance.
Album & Artwork
The program interpreted by the Coro gregoriano MEDIÆ ÆTATIS SODALICIUM is described as one of the most complex a listener might encounter, being intellectually sophisticated and structurally solid.
Album & Artwork
This album is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, reflecting their complementary roles as two aspects of the universal Church.
Composition History
The album's program is systematically structured, drawing from the Antiphonale Monasticum for the First Vespers and the Antiphonale missarum sextuplex by René-Jean Hesbert for the masses dedicated to each saint.
Interpretation
The Coro gregoriano MEDIÆ ÆTATIS SODALICIUM bases its rhythmic and musical approach on the teachings of Dom Eugène Cardine, a semiologist whose work on Gregorian chant is considered definitive.
