Medieval music is not very well known to the general public. Yes, everyone knows about Gregorian chant, but what about polyphonic church music? Or troubadour songs? Or instrumental music?
In this episode of CZ Live Archive, we will bring you along to listen to music from all the corners of Western Europe. The first hour is dedicated to the Codex Huelgas, a rich book from a Spanish convent. The music is, of course, religious. In the second hour, we will hear everything side by side: music from France, England, Germany and Italy, music from the twelfth to the fifteenth century, spiritual and secular, with vocals and instrumental. All of this music has one thing in common: it sounds unusual to our ears, almost non-Western. All of the laws that made later European music what it is today did not yet exist. Thus, the oldest music of our continent offers more than enough to sharpen our hearing.
