ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The thirteenth century produced the first clearcut examples of independent melodies sounding together to create harmony — the defining feature of Western polyphony for the next three centuries. Our program follows this development from ca. 1250 to the dawn of the Renaissance in music for two, three, and four voices.
