In illo tempore: Tempus Adventus

Posted in Our Recordings, Tempus Adventus April 21, 2010 at 6:07 AM

Here it is! The first CD of vocal ensemble Gregoriana called Tempus Adventus. We plan to record next parts of the edition In Illo Tempore. It’s aim is to revive the musical historical pieces from the territory of the present Slovakia up to 1600. In Slovak archives and museums such pieces cannot be counted by hundreds, but surely they deserve our attention. These are mainly the manuscript collections of the monodic (plainchant) liturgical chants, as well as the polyphonic chants of the same kind. You can read in more detail about these historical pieces in the articles of Eva Veselovská and Andrea Meščanová.

Posted in Concerts, Gregoriana, Our Recordings June 16, 2008 at 8:08 AM

Oneskorene, ale predsa prinášame niekoľko obrázkov a nahrávok z nášho účinkovania v Červenom kláštore 19.4.2008.

• O. di Lasso: Magnificat Primi Toni s antifónou “Deposuit potentes” z kartuziánskeho kódexu. Príslušné fólio kódexu si môžete pozrieť tu.
• O. di Lasso: Falsobordone quarti toni — žalm 110 Dixit Dominus, antifóna kartuziánska “Pater sancte”. Táto antifóna sa pravdepodobne spievala na sviatok sv. Antona pustovníka, patróna miestneho kostola.
• Ut queant laxis — hymnus zo sviatku sv. Jána krstiteľa, kartuziánska verzia s polyfóniou neznámeho autora z 13. storočia.
