Information from CD.
Schola Gothia is a professional female vocal quartet whose principal
repertoire consists of music from the early middle ages. The
quartet has toured in Sweden and performed widely throughout Europe
as well as taking part in festivals of early music. Their repertoire
consists principally of Gregorian chant and polyphonic works from
the 14th and 15th centuries. Performances are always prepared
using notation of the period.
This CD presents an extensive selection of songs from the Bridgettine
liturgy as well as a couple of pieces that were not included in
the original liturgy but that were added later. The songs on this
disc represent various different liturgical forms and genres:
aniphons, responses and sequences (from Proprius website).
