A Laurel for Landini
Song Name Arranger
Sia laudato san Francesco Anon
O sommo specchio Niccolo da Perugia
Creata fusti, o vergine Maria Anon
Batista da Dio amato Anon
Deh, dinmi tu Landini
De sospirar sovente Landini
Vaga fanciulla Landini
Ave Maria, stella Diana Anon
Ne la piu cara parte Landini
Guarda una volta Landini
Per Pallegrezza del nostro Signore Anon
Cosi penoso Landini
Donna, perche mi spregi Landini
Musica son/ Gia furon/ Ciascun Vuol Landini
Peccatrice nominata Anon
Lasso! di donna Landini
Mein herz das ist versert Oswald von Wolkenstein
Ne la mia vita Landini
Vergine donzella imperadrice Anon

The award winning and worldwide famous vocal ensemble Gothic Voices travel to Italy and the origins of its impressive polyphonic music: A Laurel for Landini - 14th Century Italy's Greatest Composer. This disc presents the group performing music by the Italian composer Francesco Landini, one of the most prominent and influential composers of that time and one of the most important for the development of later forms of close harmonic chanting - the forerunner of the famous Madrigal that would flourish later in the 16th century. This disc not only sets out the panorama of the time and the genius of Landini himself but also works by his contemporaries. Here Gothic Voices collaborate with the worldwide acclaimed harpist Andrew Lawrence-King. This is an important release that will appeal to those interested in singing and early choral music to discover a whole new set and experiments from a composer that helped create the choral forms that later revolutionized the whole of western music.
