The Angels are Singing

While late-medieval poets explored a dizzying range of emotions from heavenly ecstasy to the hellish torments of unrequited love, their musician colleagues were happily setting sacred themes to well-known secular tunes. A song describing ‘graceful women and pretty girls’ could be transformed into an image of angelic choirs, or a suave love song turned into a graceful hymn to the Virgin. Performing music from French and Italian manuscripts, Sollazzo paint a picture of this vivacious mingling of the mundane and the spiritual in songs and virtuoso instrumental pieces by Tapissier, Landini, Ciconia and others.

“Technical brilliance and that sense of engagement with both the audience as well as each other” The York Press
