Product Description

Immerse yourself in the enchanting sounds of the Middle Ages with Gothic Voices' captivating album, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: Motets & Songs from 13th-Century France." Released on September 20, 1990, under the prestigious Hyperion label, this album is a treasure trove of medieval and Gregorian chant music that transcends time.

Gothic Voices, renowned for their authentic and mesmerizing interpretations of early music, bring to life the sacred and secular works of 13th-century France. The album's 30 tracks, spanning 46 minutes, offer a rich tapestry of motets and songs that showcase the intricate polyphony and spiritual depth of the era. From the hauntingly beautiful "Je ne chant pas" to the solemn "AVE MARIA," each piece is a testament to the artistic and religious fervor of the time.

The album's title, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," reflects the duality of the music, blending the divine with the earthly, the sacred with the profane. Gothic Voices' meticulous attention to historical performance practices and their ethereal vocals create an atmosphere that is both reverent and evocative. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast of early music or a curious newcomer, this album promises a profound and enriching listening experience.
