Per-Sonat

Just as Orpheus' eloquence saved Eurydice from the shadowy realm, so too does polyphonic music possess unworldly power. The miracle of consonance is given a mythical dimension in the ninth-century treatise Musica Enchiriadis: the earliest witness to a polyphonic practice.

Per-Sonat's specialists present a programme that could have been from a Carolingian Orpheus, with organa (early polyphonic singing) from the Winchester Troparium and lamentations that pry comfort from between the notes.
Per-Sonat is specialized in music from the middle ages and early renaissance. The ensemble focuses both on scholarly interpretation and an exciting and vital presentation of medieval texts.
