About this product
Intimacy, intensity, passion-this album explores the unfamiliar idea that fifteenth-century songs might cause us to sigh, weep, or laugh out loud. In bringing to life a world in which crying in public was not just acceptable but required, we have to take seriously the crushing despair of a line like InchMy only sorrow is that I am not dead,Inch or the undisguised sarcasm of InchThis is how she chopped and cooked me up.Inch In Johannes Ockeghem's roughly two dozen songs we find not only unparalleled compositional prowess, but feelings that range from happiness to loss, anger to despair, and bitterness to merriment. The album's all-vocal, fully texted, close-mic'd performances are rooted in a flexible, full-blooded vocal technique that aims to capture the music's technical brilliance and emotional depth.

EU-only three CD collection in fold-out digipak with 152-page booklet (English language), in the one hundred years that Folk music has been recorded in the United States, the tradition has embraced ballads - mostly new, but some transplanted from Europe, political statements, personal introspection, and much more. Now the story is here in this special triple disc collection. The fourth and final volume is even more eclectic, featuring America's best-selling poet, Rod McKuen, as well as old school folkies like Malvina Reynolds, Country Rock pioneers like the Byrds, John Stewart, Nilsson, John Denver, as well as John Hartford's original 'Gentle on My Mind' - the song that changed Country music, Townes Van Zandt's original 'Pancho And Lefty', and Kris Kristofferson's game-changing compositions, 'Me And Bobby McGee' and 'Help Me Make It Through the Night'. This set also includes John Prine, Steve Goodman, Gordon Lightfoot, and Joni Mitchell, artists who have helped to bring the folk tradition into the twenty-first century.

What makes a piece of music difficult? This album introduces a pair of riveting, technically ambitious, historically important, and never-before-recorded polyphonic masses of the fifteenth century, performed by an ensemble that has developed a new approach designed to honor the music's variety and unflagging intensity. Both works stand out for their notational complexity. They are also exceptional for the skill they demand of the performers we find hair-raising rhythms, intricate counterpoint, and long melodic phrases. Rather than mitigate these challenges with a large ensemble and a generous acoustic, this recording enhances them the performances are one-on-a-part, featuring energetic tempi, close miking, and minimal reverberation. This approach is unforgiving-but together with bright vowels and a flexible vocal technique, it has the benefit of allowing the music to come across with uncommon directness and clarity.
