John Potter, Christopher O'Gorman, Rogers Covey-Crump - Conductus, Vol. 2 - Music & poetry from thirteenth-century France

A second volume of music from the Conductus repertory�the least-known genre of medieval music, the �poor relation� of organum and motets�performed by three singers who combine expert knowledge of the music with voices of unearthly beauty. This album contains poems set to music from thirteenth-century England and France. The subjects range from straightforward exhortations to the Virgin Mary to criticisms of the Papal Curia and a depiction of the student riots in Orleans in 1236.
