The sacred & popular in 13th century Italy

Quartetto Vocale Giovanna Marini / Micrologus
(Opus 111 30-277)
Musical evocation of the medieval Italian culture, “Cantico” is the fruit of a chance meeting between the Giovanna Marini Vocal Quartet and Micrologus. Their experiences, musical talents and passion for the oral tradition nourishes them both and informs their luminous spirituality and collective spontaneity. The results is a tour of the religious music and popular traditions of Centre and Southern italian town and country life during the 13th Century.
