#2657: Music for Women's Voices and Strings

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

Hear music by the ethereal and precise Trio Medieval on this New Sounds program. In addition to arrangements of Nordic folk songs, this trio of women gives contemporary lift to medieval ballads and masses from England, France and Norway. Plus, listen to immensely moving selections from the new seven part cantata by Vladimir Godar, "Mater," featuring the cultivated folk vocal stylings of Iva Bittova. And much more.
