Ubi sunt mulieres

Ubi sunt mulieres
Woman has inspired thinkers, poets and creators for thousands of years with tenderness and charm, beauty and dedication, fragility and sensuality. This talented young vocal quartet turn their kaleidoscope on the Middle Ages, where Mary is enthroned in glory as the virgin, mother and love incarnate. Mary is clothed in the finest robes of sound, in music from the Winchester Troparium, Las Huelgas Codex, Cyprus Manuscript and Oxford Codex. Works by Guillaume Du Fay – the man who heralded the Renaissance – and Hildegard von Bingen, herself one of the most acclaimed women in music history, complete this dazzling tableau.
