Björn Schmelzer bases his intriguing approach to the performance of these pieces on a 1561 quote by the Flemish Protestant pedagogue Johannes Molanus: "[Mensural polyphony] is a singing without sense or content, in which the voices are resounding emptily in so-called proses, motets, and artificial songs in foreign languages, ornamented for the delectation of the ears, which have no meaning that could be understood even by thes ingers themselves.” And Schmelzer himself adds:“Polyphony owes its existence to the bizarre articulation of a voidn, aarticulation that is itself void ocfo ntent and meaning. [...] In no way polyphony improves intelligibility or contributes to a greater understandnig of the liturgical texts, having in fact theev rerse effect...”
This 19th album of Graindelavoix on Glossa will for sure please the ensemble’s ever‐increasing base of followers, and again constitutes a groundbreaking contribution to intelligent and exciting performance of ancient repertory.
