Voices from heaven. Religious music of Europe in middle ages
Description
Filmed in several of northern Italy's most magnificent churches and beautiful villages, this documentary illuminates the medieval origins of Christian music through vocal and instrumental performances by the Gothic Voices of London, the Ensemble Venance Fortunat of Paris, the Orthodox Chorus of Moscow, and the Giovanna Marini Ensemble Micrologus of Assisi, Italy. The Timna Brauer Ensemble & Elias Meiri of Vienna perform songs based on the ancient Cabala. Expert commentary on the cultural and religious context of these authentically rendered melodies, combined with outstanding footage of the art and architecture of the Middle Ages, rounds out the program.
